Most people talk about the income when comparing having 9-5 against owning a business.
But for me, thereâs three things I value more.
1ď¸âŁ My time. Thereâs no fixed schedule that you have to abide by or plan the rest of your life around. If I need a slower morning, I can have one, and fit my work around that.
2ď¸âŁ Location. I used to sit in the office all day, even if Iâd already finished the work. Now, my work comes with me. At home with a blanket and a coffee, or at a beach club with a coconut.
3ď¸âŁ Energy. What are we really doing it for if by the time weâve finished work, weâve got nothing left in the tank for ourselves? Now, I feel energised enough to keep showing up for myself, because Iâm not exhausted from draining days and long commutes.
If youâre currently working in corporate, feeling tired of the same mundane day that doesnât truly belong to you, drop me a follow to see how Iâm building a life of freedom and choice for myself.
