If you’re a freedom seeker like me, you’re gonna love today’s topic. Freedom is one of the things most people crave. It’s also one of the most common reasons why people get in business and stay in it long enough despite the challenges. The 5 types of freedom I’ll share in this episode are my way to categorize this, but they are what I’ve experienced the most, what my goals usually consist of, and what other business owners say they love the most about their business. Tune in or read the transcript below: Show Notes: * The 2 types of freedom according to philosophy * What’s a location independent lifestyle * The type of location freedom I chose * What it means to own your time * The type of freedom most business owners lack * The key difference between men and women in business * What it really means to take a break from work * What to do when something unpleasant happens and you’re emotional * What problems does money solve * A simple way to welcome more freedom right now Transcript Before I dive into them, I want to mention the types of freedom according to philosophy. There’s the negative one, freedom from something, and the positive one, the freedom to do sometihng or be someone. This is such a simple yet beautiful and powerful way to put it and it totally resonates with me. Some of the strongest reasons why I started a business are to be free from my family, the country I was born in, its culture and just life back then as I knew it. I didn’t like the environment, I didn’t feel good or safe, and I knew it wasn’t for me. I also experience the positive freedom every day. My business allows me do what I want, and to be exactly who I wanna be and to change as I please. These are deeply satisfying benefits and I don’t know many people who enjoy them and who are not in business. If you want to be your own boss or are growing your business already, chances are you’re quite familiar with these things.  There are things you want to get away from and change, and other things you want to acquire. There’s also a specific way you want to feel, because after all, we’re all chasing feelings here. You don’t want the business and revenue, you want the way it will make you feel once you have it. Now, let me share the 5 types of freedom a business gives us and talk about each. 1. Location freedom The first one is location freedom. I could only dream of that 10-12 years ago when I was back home, living with my parents, and reading about lifestyle designers like Tim Ferriss who were making the location independent lifestyle work for them. But then, it happened. First I normalized the idea in my head, then I became obsessed with it. Even though no one in my surroundings had ever done that, I knew it was possible. That’s why I’m a fan of successful people and their business journeys.
