What It Truly Means To Have Personal, Professional & Financial Freedom
Paul Mendes • June 4, 2020
When I Was Working My 9-5 I didn’t Know a Life of This Kind of Freedom Existed...
A life where there is no RESTRAINTS or control.
A life that I create.
Where I get to make my own schedule.
A life where I get to take back my control.
The true meaning of freedom is unique and personal to everyone.
My form of freedom is that I wanted to leave corporate to pursue my dreams and passion of being my own boss.
I wanted freedom in all areas of my life financially and personally.
Learn new skills and make more significant contributions to the world; connect with like-minded people, and ultimately make a positive impact on society.
So what does it mean to be free?
“The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.”
The truth is...
If You Suffer Through The Work That You Do Almost Everyday, You Are Not Free
If you are feeling like this person in the picture or are experiencing any of these restrictions down below, then you are not fully free:
👉 If you want to move away from where you live, but you can’t because of your job, you are not free.
👉 If you dread the work you do and live for the weekends... you are definitely not free.
👉 If you ever need personal time, a vacation, or a more flexible schedule, but your job can never accommodate you, then you are not free.
👉 If you are expected to accommodate your schedule around your boss's time. This is not freedom at all!
If you are experiencing any kind of restraint then you are not free.
When your soul is not aligned with your career or lifestyle, your purpose is diminished and unfulfilled. I know this because I've been there...
Even when you are making good money, if your soul isn't fulfilled you will wake up every day dreading what you do.
If You Are Relying On a Single Flow of Income, You Will Never Reach Your Full Potential
It’s even worse If you are labeled “non-essential” you are now down to zero flows of income.
“Just like with luck, when it comes to freedom, you have to make your own”
I am a supporter of the law of attraction and the power of manifestation, but only when you take real actions towards improving your life.
If you want something in your life to change, take action.
You don’t necessarily need clear answers to take steps forward,
“Taking steps forward where your heart takes you, can give you the answers”.
You need to start listening to your passions, what inspires you, what motivates you, and allows it to start guiding you. Have trust.
If you feel a little stuck, unhappy in your current situation, or simply have a desire for something different, more fulfilling, pause for a moment.
Find stillness and reflect. It all starts with awareness.
Rethink Everything You Have Ever Been Taught Growing Up
You already know what your passion is. You’ve just been controlled to ignore it…
This is why when you have a single flow of income you are in a false sense of security. Once the blanket is ripped out from under you, it is too late.
Your purpose is more important than spending your life building someone else’s dreams.
But this is what our school system shapes us into being. It molds us into doing repetitive tasks and listening to authority.
This made great factory workers back in the day.... but is that really what kids should be doing in school?
In most schools, they don’t teach anything about becoming your own boss, how to build good credit, how to start an LLC, how to file and manage taxes, how to create a budget, or even what freelancing is.
That is why self-education is the most powerful tool on Earth. You have access to the information to change your life.
It’s time to start tapping into your power.
Tap Into Your Own Power
You have the power to improve your life, create your freedom, make your schedule, and be your own boss.
Don't undervalue yourself or your worth. No one has the power to control you unless you let them.
What does financial and personal freedom mean to you personally?
It’s time to start spreading your wings and tap into all the amazing potential you possess within.
I truly believe that freelancing is the way of the future and can provide ultimate freedom in every area of your life.
With that being said...Are you ready to be fully free?

Ready To Take Your Freelancing Career To The Next Level?
Freelancing is a type of self-employment with many benefits which has grown in popularity over recent years. Whether it’s a part-time gig or full-time employment, freelancing gives people the power of freedom and flexibility with income, of course. You may have heard of these benefits of freelancing before, but did you know that freelancers have the potential to make a six-figure salary?
One of the most apparent benefits of freelancing is that the work can be completed from anywhere. There is no corporate building or office cubicle that a freelancer is tied down to.
