If you have dependents who will not alleviate you from your financial responsibilities, that is you are keeping your day job to pay the bills, then they should give you back some time. If you are serious about reaching lifestyle freedom, you have to be prepared to make these changes in your life now. To start your business, you need time to work on your business, and to find the time you have to trade-off from other activities you do. You really have to decide what is more important to you. #2 – Start looking for time/activity trade-offs Once you have decided what you want to do with your time, you will begin trading off activities that do not add value to your life for those that will get you to your dream lifestyle. If you already have a struggling business: Spend the time re-assessing how to take advantage of the assets you have already built, and research options for growing your business. If you have a business idea: Spend the time researching how you will turn your idea into a business, and map out every activity you need to do to get the business open. If you do not have a business idea: Spend the time researching possible products or services you could be providing to the marketplace. Imagine you are not going to your job and you have all the time in the world every day to work on your business, where would you start? You need to identify the activities you will be doing to start your business. If you start looking for time before deciding what you are going to do with it, you could end up wasting the minutes you have available. #1 – Decide what you want to do with the time you findįirst, decide what you want to do with your time.


The question you should really be asking is: how do I convert the time I’m using for other activities to work on my business? So what was that you were saying about working around your day job? That’s right, you have more than three times as many hours to work on your business, compared to the time you’re spending at your job. (*Check the math at the end if you don’t believe it) How many hours does that leave you to work on your business each year?Īlmost 7,000.

You say your job is 9-to-5 – that means you are working just over 2,000 hours a year (probably less). Next, recognize how much time you have available to work on your business. You want to be an entrepreneur and you know you will have to make changes to accomplish your goals. So you go into this process with the desire to start your own business.
