‘Level 3′ Freedom
One of the key reasons I’ve chosen to be a home based business entrepreneur has to do the quality of life I wish to live. In this brief posting I want to share what I refer to as my ‘Level 3 Freedom’ strategy.
‘Level 1 Freedom’ occurs primarily in the field of personal development. This level of freedom indicates we have recognized the limitations we have adopted from our upbringing and society in general. Limiting beliefs, bad habits, been overly controlled by ego; these or all elements that need modification in order to perform the activities that lead to success.
‘Level 2 Freedom’: At this level we have become a business owner or entrepreneur and have developed the systems necessary to free up our time and generate significant cash flow. As Michael Gerber has articulated in his book named ‘Power Point’; way too many business owners have become slaves to their business. This is because they are working in their business rather than on their business. In other words, they have failed to develop the systems that allow them to be an absentee owner.
‘Level 3 Freedom’. Living life at level 3 freedom means to me a person has progressed to the point where level 1 and level 2 freedom are firmly in place. At this point free time and sufficient money are no longer an issue in a person’s life. This means that you are now able to devote the vast majority of your time to activities and endeavors that really make your heart sing.
For many people that may mean devoting oneself to volunteer work in order to help those less privileged. For others it might mean traveling the world. For others still it could be to focus on art, music, or literature. Each and every person on earth has at least one special song in their heart waiting to be sung. Most of us have more than one song wanting to be sung.
For me, it makes perfect sense to live life at ‘Level 3 Freedom’. In the coming months I will be elaborating on many of the specific steps that may be useful to others who wish to achieve a ‘Level 3′ lifestyle. I welcome your comments and suggestions.
