RELIABLE online income is the goal you need to seek, not imaginary fast cash that doesn't last. Real freedom doesn't come from a small win, it comes from having ongoing money that you can count on.
For most of the people their ultimate goal is freedom. They want to be free from worrying about how to pay the bills. They want freedom from having to spend so much of their lives doing work that they hate. They want freedom from having to answer to a boss that treats them like crap.
I think that true work freedom has three elements.
1. Time Freedom - You can work when you want
2. Location Freedom - You can work where you want
3. Relationship Freedom - You can work with who you want
A regular job will not give you those three things, but a reliable online income will.
You'll have the ability to choose the hours that you work. That didn't mean you'll worked less hours. You'll maybe actually work more hours now, but you can work when you choose. That is true time freedom.
You have that freedom because an online business that can be run from anywhere with a reasonably reliable internet connection. With the advancement of mobile broadband and now Elon Musk's Starlink, we can get reliable internet practically anywhere. You don't need to live close to work, or spend your time commuting in traffic. Work is wherever you open your laptop or smart phone.
That is true location freedom.
Did you ever have a job where you really didn't like or get along with the people you worked with? Maybe you are in one of those jobs right now. When you run your own online business, you get to choose who you work with. You get to pick the programs you promote. You get to pick the people you pursue to be clients or partners. You can even "fire" a customer if you don't want to work with them.
Toxic relationships can be a major drag on your overall happiness and with an online business of your own, you get to choose to work with people who lift you up instead of dragging you down. You are the average of the 5 people who you spend the most time with. As a business owner, you get to pick your 5 people!
That is true relationship freedom.
You cannot have these freedoms if you are dependent on working for someone else who is calling the shots in your life. You also cannot have those freedoms unless you build a recurring income stream of reliable online income. No one quits their day job to pursue some "flash in the pan" opportunity. You can quit your job and have these freedoms when you have the confidence that there will be income next month, the month after that, and 6 months from now too.
For that kind of cash confidence, you need a strategy that builds an asset you can count on. That asset in an online business is your audience, or email list. Having a responsive group of followers who know, like and trust you is the key that unlocks the freedoms that can bring you true control and happiness.
Building your list does not have to be hard, even for a beginner. Just like the fact that we can get internet virtually anywhere, the tools for list building have evolved as well. Promoting my programs and launches can build your list without needing a Click Funnels account or even an auto-responder. You can even earn commissions while building your list!
