Which brings me to the next topic: What I would like to be?
I am taking my blog to the next level so I can start earning from it and help out my household.

I’ve been so hesitant because I don’t know if my traffic is enough to attract advertisers and I have no web design experience at all! Your newsletters are inspiring and helpful. Thank you!

I’m always intrigued by “A Day in the life of” posts. I have to admit that I’m jealous of the freedom. I’m working hard to hopefully have the same one day!

Have a great day,
Emily

This is up there with one of my favorite posts. It gives us great insight as to what it really takes to be successful and it’s a journey and we’ve all enjoyed reading about it

Great post. I am one of your Become A Blogger students and working on building my blog. I intend to enter the life of an entrepreneur in 2011. I am clarifying my Niche, building good content for my blog, networking and marketing my business and gaining coaching clients and loving every second of working with them. I also love freedom and am pursuing the things that I enjoy and would do for free. Thanks for all yours and Gideon’s expert advice. Lana

I mostly listen to Psytrance (you’d probably like this – GOA influences).

Your daily life sounds quite enjoyable, I love those days where you can get out and write, dedicate the whole day to just doing a few things which benefit you the most.

It’s been 2 (almost 3 years – maybe more) since I had a “real” job. I can’t imagine going back to the 9-5 grind. I’m in college right now so my life is unrealistic, momentarily. I seriously love helping others build their dreams, but I’m working on mine right now.

My top 3 future intentions:
1) Build a VC Fund
2) Start a Charity
3) Live Free

I too as a result of acheiving that level, flow through life without a ridgid schedule (unless say going to a conference which imposes one). Often everyday feels like it’s Saturday! and I never wear a watch or use an alarm clock. I sleep when tired, work and play hard as long as inspired, which technically called ‘free running’ puts me all over the map, at times being a vampire working at night when most are asleep, early riser making the surnrise ‘lunch’. late riser etc. It’s given me a new perspective on life to not be constrained to a normal one.

But it wasn’t easy to get here, there were some very diffiicult choices along the way, some of those strategies are captured in this inspirational post:

In response to your posts I did a write up of what my typical day is like. You can check my post here A Day In The Life Of An Upcoming Internet Entrepreneur with a Day Job

I see so many fake blogs these days with junk posts and comments geared to making affiliate commissions. I hardly check a review on internet now as there are thousands of affiliates trying to tell me it is good, buy through my link.

Give me a break.

Really gives me the chance to recognise how awesome it is when you build the structures and the systems that can support other people carrying out the operations.

There’s no longer that doomed feeling that if I don’t fix something no one else will and that I’m better off paying someone else to fix a problem than letting it bother me.

1 thing though – I still paste up my posters myself – it’s good exercise and good to get out from the desk and in the street!

How do you get so many people to read and re-read your articles?

I often skim articles looking for the “best bits”. Not this one. I read it all the way through, 3 times!

It’s articles like this that makes thousands of bloggers continue rather than give up.

Three years ago, I started my on-line business while working full-time for a large company. I worked evenings and weekends on my on-line business. I worked long, long hours for the company and long, long hours for my ‘bit on the side’.

Four months ago, I gave up the corporate world and now work long, long hours solely on my own on-line business and I love every minute. Even though I work long, long hours, I can choose when I want to work. That’s the freedom I’m enjoying at the mo.

Next stage is of course, reduce the working week and enjoy even more freedom.

Thanks Yaro. I’m going to print this article and put it where I can see it every time I work!

Once again, another thought provoking post. This one has really hit home for me as it has never been about having money freedom, but more time freedom for me. Money can be created from an idea and can always be generated, but the time we have in our lives is always counting down and we can never get it back.

In reality, the reason most people never succeed beside not taking action is really because they spend their most amazing asset which is time on activities that don’t really produce income producing results. One of the reasons I have enjoyed your older post on the 80/20 Rule.

I thank you for continuing to do what you do as I have found your words to be very honest and appealing. I look forward to reading what you day will be like four years from now!
