Be your own boss

Everywhere we look there are the people that live a life of freedom. Freedom to do the things they want, spend time with family, help the community, focus on their dreams, and be free of financial constraints that burden many. In those same places we see people crippled by constraints too busy to love and live the way they truly want. In all of us is this desire for that freedom but many times we lack the knowledge on how to get it. There are so many principles and methods to gain it but the first one that we must come to grips with is that they all involve in being our own boss. Think of those people that have what we want, what do they do on average. Where do they work? How do they earn their income? There maybe one for every hundred that don't own a business but the other 99 are their own boss. Then we try to buck the trend and think we can do it without running the show. That's like someone wanting to lose weight and thinking that the all you can eat buffets may actually help in that process although all the people that are in great shape don't frequent them. Look at the gas station, grocery store, laundry mat, and every other business we drive by. It's so simple I can't believe it took me so long to figure it out. Knowing this now we can start to build the foundation of this subject. Knowing this will help us forge ahead through the difficulty that lies in learning anything worthwhile. Make that commitment to yourself and your family.
