Are you familiar with the word Autonomy (au·ton·o·my)? It means - freedom from external control or influence; independence. Simply put - FREEDOM!

I spoke about this in Episode 3 | Find Your Freedom!

For the last month - I've had the worst bug I've experienced in my 53 years on this planet! Yesterday was the first time I've felt even remotely good - and last night was the first time I was able to sleep in my bed. I've been in a hospital bed and/or recliner for the last 4 weeks straight!

I don't bring this up for you to feel bad for me - but instead to illustrate a point. If you work in a traditional job - you probably get around 5 days of Sick Time and 1-3 weeks of Vacation Time. Once you've burned through your Sick Days - you almost always have to dip into either Vacation Days and/or Short-Term Disability (If your company even offers it). With this last run of whatever it is I had - I would have exhausted EVERY day possible and then some. And being gone from any position for 4 weeks is a risky one.

But working for yourself and having the before mentioned freedom - allows you to make your own hours, your own Sick Days, and your own Vacation Days. It doesn't rely on seniority, time on the job, and/or position within the company.

Of course, there's a Yin and Yang to everything. Being in charge of yourself is great - but can also be crippling! If you know how to manage your time and priorities - it's great! If you don't - you won't be doing it long.

Even though I couldn't talk a good portion of the time I was sick - I still made it down to my War Room to do what I was supposed to do. Where I needed to talk - I tried my hand at AI (Artificial Intelligence) and utilized a voiceover to read my scripts. And although it was extremely difficult on me some of the time - I made Social Media Posts up in advance and utilized Social Posting Software to drip the content out. Nobody heard me moaning and groaning, coughing up a lung, and blowing my nose like it was my job. I knew regardless of how I felt - the trains still needed to stay on time.

I mention all this to drive home a point. Seek out freedom! You may have to start off slow and build up to doing it full-time - but that's OK. Get your side hustle on and move from some time to part-time to full-time! You'll thank me!
