This morning I found myself sitting at the computer around 7:30 am and worked until around 11:00 am. All of this for drumsticks? Yes! Things are growing, but I still have to do a lot of the detailed task myself. For a moment I thought about what I was doing and found it to look similar to what anyone else might be doing sitting in a cubicle working for “the man”. The main difference is I get to experience a direct impact in my paycheck based on what I do. If I don’t do the work, I don’t get paid.
If I stay this way for too long, I will get burned out and won’t want to continue doing this simply due to the amount of detail work I have to process everyday. My goal is to have the ability to hire someone overseas to handle the details while I spend most of my time generating outside sales and getting new touring band clients. That is what I am good at. That is what I love to do.
My challenge for you today is to consider this: Though you may be self employed, do you still have a JOB. If so, what is the point? My goal in being self employed is for freedom. I want the freedom to do what I want to do when I want to do it with whom I want to do it with. I feel in those circumstances I am best utilizing the gifts and talents God has given me.
****What steps are you taking today to move you from your JOB to the lifestyle you want. I highly recommend a book by Tim Ferriss called The Fout Hour Work Week. It is a game changer.
