Speaking about Freedom

I share our journey, the highs and lows that we have experienced on our journey. With Kelvin We share the journey and lessons for you.

I believe that people should experience the freedom and lifestyle that is truly amazing.

Freedom.

What it means for me today. After being away for 6 weeks and seeing how people live in Switzerland and Italy (Remember I used to live there 20 years ago) I must admit that I bless each and every day for the freedom Kelvin and I have created.

During the trip I watched my girlfriends, constantly working, run, run, running to be at work at 8AM, keeping in mind that before that you have to drive 30 minutes to drop off the kids at the grandparents, then drive another 45 minutes to be at work by 8AM, then the traffic home again.

What changed for me?

  • The constant wondering if the “big boss” will keep you on for another year;
  • Planning the few precious weeks leave per year.
  • “The holiday”, start saving money;
  • The ‘I better go to bed’ as tomorrow back at work;
  • The ‘oh no... holiday’s are finished’ and tomorrow starting work again;
  • The I wish I could be doing something else;
  • The I cannot afford it this month;
  • The ‘oh we have to pay extra taxes this month’ so I’ll not be able to go out for dinner;
  • False pretenses of happiness

Now I realised this is not really “living life to the fullest”, it is an existence. Freedom Business Every day I bless what we have created, I would divide

Freedom into two separate areas.

  1. TIME Freedom for me means to start my day when I want, to book meetings when suits me, avoiding traffic jams, nasty weather, or when I just do not feel like driving or flying to clients! Working as much or as little as I want and more important WHEN my mind is ready for it. Taking our puppy to the beach anytime, playing with him for as long as I like to.
  2. MONEY Freedom is being able to buy what I want, when I want it, not just what I need. I am about to go out shopping and I can buy anything I want. Do I want Moet Chandon with caviar tonight? Well I do not eat caviar and not even that keen on the Champagne! But I would buy a toy for our puppy and a nice fish for dinner.

It is all about what you like and your lifestyle. Money does not buy happiness; it can give you freedom. Buisness is not made to be sold, it purpose is to give you FREEDOM.

My Realisation

After this holiday I really realized that the personal freedom Kelvin and I have created and constantly striving to improve, is something that 5 years ago was a dream. The long sleepless nights in creating the system and setting up the structure we have now, makes us enjoy the day ‘without a watch’.

Now shareing this with business people she helps spread the joy.
