What Does Freedom Mean To You?
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what would constitute your ‘perfect day’? Natalie believes in working backward to intentionally build your version of freedom into your days, weeks, months, and years so that you can live your version of freedom.
While your idea of freedom will change depending on which stage of your life and business you are in, getting clear on what freedom means to you, and how you can take small incremental steps to achieve that freedom, is crucial. Do you desire to travel full time? A 20-hour workweek? How about a sabbatical once a year? Whatever your version of freedom is, it is essential for you to identify it, choose it, and honor your decision for your own wellbeing and the longevity of your business.
Turning Your Goals Into Reality One Day at a Time
Once you have decided what freedom looks like to you, you need to adopt a methodology to turn your dreams into reality one day at a time. By breaking your version of freedom down to manageable and feasible pieces, you can take your ‘big ass goal’ and work towards it every day, week, month, and year.
Natalie believes that success should not just be measured in your profit. By aligning your business to your personal goals you can move towards them in a way that stands true to you and will eventually serve everyone in the long run. Freedom is truly all about the power of choice and making the decisions that serve you and others, and the more organized and disciplined you can be, the more freedom you will have.
