4- Schedule Significant Stuff First~ We are so responsible that we cast aside things that will make biggest impact in our lives. Or maybe it is fear that holds us back. In any event, add important things to your schedule as a priority and move towards what you want.

5- Systematize~ Consistently look to create systems to save time. Remember how time is saved by having a system to mow lawn. When something new goes in a cabinet something old comes out. Return calls and check e-mails at scheduled times daily. Throw junk mail in trash immediately. Give your items a home so nothing is ever lost. Schedule blocks of time to handle tasks in various roles you hold. Automate. Keep a running list of items you need and errands, then handle at once. Systematizing with regard to a person’s strengths and passions is even more advantageous.

The good news is that our future is entirely in our hands. There are virtually unlimited home based business opportunities out there that can earn us income we need while allowing us freedom to travel. All we need is persistence, a laptop computer, and a wireless connection to internet—and maybe a map. Then question that we have to ask ourselves is not ‘how badly do I want freedom’ but rather, ‘how hard am I willing to work for it?’

Building a home business during our free time leaves little time for us to unwind after our regular job. This sounds difficult, and it is, but it should be viewed as a temporary sacrifice. Think of building a home-based business as whittling away at prison bars of your cell after a long hard day breaking rocks for ‘the man.’ Do you want to break rocks your whole life for a brief daily respite, or would you rather double your work so that one day you can escape altogether?
