Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
I have this passion for convincing people to become self-employed. I wish I could have a one-on-one conversation with anyone who's unhappy with their job and just say like, okay, you've developed skills at that job that you can take freelance. You've developed other things you can start a business with. Like it's very possible. I think something I've realized over the years is that I grew up with examples of that. Like I didn't have any people with lofty businesses around me. But like my mom was always self-employed. We cleaned houses, we did landscaping, we did stuff that allowed us to have schedule freedom. So that was the norm. So to me, being self-employed, being a freelancer, owning a business is not risky in the way it feels to other people because it's just what is normal to me. And I wish I could trans. Like I wish I could transfer that feeling of normal because that that's all it takes, right? It's to feel like it is possible. And then if you feel like it's possible, then you pursue it. And I just want people to pursue it. Like for example, today, I didn't start work until 2:00 p.m. because I wanted to go on a really long walk so that my body was tired by the time I sat down and I went on a 6-mile walk. I went to the gym. I had a really nice breakfast. I just had like a chill morning and now I'm doing work and I'm going to stay up until 8:00 to and that's my choice cuz it's my schedule. And that's amazing. And I feel like everyone should be able to do that. And like having to ask for time out like, oh my god.
