Have you ever stopped to think about what kind of life you wish to live? Are you so busy that you haven't had quiet time to evaluate your life today and where it will be headed if it stayed on the current course?
These questions are multi dimensional but I'd like to approach them today from the perspective of a career.
How many hours do you want to spend at work daily?
How much money do you want to make? How much do you think will make you happy?
How important is your work/life balance?
After working as an employee for many years. I've come to understand myself more. I'm the type that is most motivated when I'm working for myself. Putting in the work to built up my own assets.
Working for yourself, you lose the comforts and security of a paycheck. But you get time in exchange. You can go travel for longer periods of time. You can work at night if you find yourself more productive then. You can go exercise or play tennis during the day. Manage your investments better (wink wink).
Having said that, we are only as free as our options. If you don't have significant savings and stable investments yet, you may not be in the position to become self employed....today. But if you can envision the life that you wish to live and you'd like to take control, it's never too late to start planning and saving. Freedom will always come at a price and in this case, it may be uncomfortable in the short term.
The question I'd like to leave you is this:
If your preference is to have a secure job. How secure is it really?
