Okay I have a question. This question may be thoroughly confusing but I hope you understand it. Entrepreneurs will say constantly that you should be hungry for as much money as possible but also say that the number 1 thing you should thrive for is freedom (i.e. freedom of your geographical location, free to eat what you want, yada yada)
My question is let’s say there is a certain amount you will inevitably profit either running a POS business or working a high paying corporate job and you know that that fixed amount will make you more than any entrepreneurial endeavour you could have online, what percentage of the that should that percentage be what you’d make with your online entrepreneurial endeavours would be just too low where taking the route that will pay you more will be the better alternative?
On one hand, it would be nice to make money remotely, that way I ALWAYS have control over my geographical location but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind working in a box temporarily but working my ass off that way I can retire earlier and enjoy the spoils of my income.
Freedom is a product, and you can buy it at a certain level of money.
That level, is determined by you. How fancy of a “free” live you want to live. You can live freely in bali for super cheap, but if you wanna travel all the time you’ll need more. You get the jist.
Personally, I want to earn lots of money to spend on jets and yachts – but to live my daily life with no concerns of money. Booking flights to a friends wedding, taking my wife on nice dinners, buying gifts for my friends and family.
For that “freedom” product, I am willing to sell many hours of my time. It’s worth it.
