1
00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:04,500
Lesson number one, how freelancing success can change your life.

2
00:00:04,740 --> 00:00:09,240
This lesson is going to show you what freelancing has the capability to do for you.

3
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:14,610
So Upwork did a study, and they do this study every year.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:22,500
And in this study, they found that freelancing and how it impacts the economy is much more than a lot

5
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:23,130
of people think.

6
00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:28,830
It's actually as big as the construction industry and transportation industry, and it's on par with

7
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:30,180
the information industry.

8
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:32,880
So what that means is you're in the right place.

9
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:35,560
Freelancing is only going to keep growing.

10
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:40,020
And it's one of the biggest industries, even though a lot of people don't know it.

11
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:46,940
For the first time since they started doing the survey in 2014, freelancers are now starting to report

12
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:52,970
that they're looking at it as more of a long term career, as opposed to just a temporary way to make

13
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:53,390
money.

14
00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:59,350
This is important because some people think freelancing is just something you do because you have to

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,380
or in-between jobs.

16
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:05,690
But when you do it the right way and you do it how I teach you, you're going to find that this is an

17
00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:09,110
extremely sustainable and lucrative business.

18
00:01:11,010 --> 00:01:18,240
The next really important stat to understand and to realize is that nearly half so 45 percent of the

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,670
skills provided in the survey were programming, marketing and business consulting.

20
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,280
And that's exactly kind of what I suggest because I'm in the digital marketing space, the business

21
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,270
consulting space.

22
00:01:30,510 --> 00:01:36,450
And no matter what your skill set, whether you're into design, you like writing, you're more into

23
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:37,710
organization tasks.

24
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:38,880
It doesn't matter.

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:47,490
You can find a marketing or a business skill, and that can help you make money quicker than anything

26
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:47,910
else.

27
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,890
Nearly half of freelancers agreed that freelancing gives them the flexibility they need because they

28
00:01:54,890 --> 00:02:01,130
have either limitations or personal circumstances where they're not able to just work a normal job.

29
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,450
And for me, you know, I had a nine to five.

30
00:02:03,470 --> 00:02:06,080
For a few years, I was rising through the ranks.

31
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,320
But, you know, I didn't have what I wanted.

32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:15,770
I didn't have that freedom in my life, and freelancing has given me the flexibility I really craved

33
00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:16,310
in life.

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,300
And that is actually worth more than the money, in my opinion.

35
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:28,630
And the next really, really interesting stat is that every generation had more than one in four workers

36
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:30,190
who freelance in the past year.

37
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:36,070
So this is telling you it doesn't matter how old you are, literally you can be like, you know, a

38
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:39,340
teenager all the way up to in your 60s, 70s.

39
00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:41,050
I mean, it doesn't really matter.

40
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:47,230
Like as long as you use these principles and you understand how you can provide a skill and solve a

41
00:02:47,230 --> 00:02:49,660
problem, you can make money freelancing.

42
00:02:49,660 --> 00:02:51,940
It's not just for one certain age group.

43
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:57,660
So next, I want to go into where freelancing and freelancers are headed.

44
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:05,460
So by 2027, it's projected that over half of the U.S. workforce is going to be freelancing.

45
00:03:05,970 --> 00:03:07,920
So what does that tell us?

46
00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:09,480
What can we learn from this?

47
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:16,440
These projections show us that businesses are looking to hire freelancers more and more, and they're

48
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,910
shifting away from hiring actual in-house employees.

49
00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:26,010
There's a lot of reasons for that and freelancers, they have more flexibility.

50
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:31,350
They can be more cost effective because they don't have to pay for, you know, benefits and and pay

51
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:34,170
for an office space for, you know, an employee.

52
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:41,000
So understand that your mindset needs to be aligned with this.

53
00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:43,920
Understand that what you're doing is the way of the future.

54
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:50,580
Understand that if you start now and you don't hesitate, you can really get ahead of the curve.

55
00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:56,220
And if you start freelancing before you have to, when you start freelancing because you learn what

56
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:59,670
it can do for you, it's going to put you way ahead of the pack.

57
00:04:02,050 --> 00:04:04,810
So how can freelancing change your life?

58
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:12,230
Well, I want to let you know that businesses, they're hiring virtual teams more than ever.

59
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:14,510
So this is what I was just talking about.

60
00:04:14,930 --> 00:04:20,240
Businesses want to be more agile and if they hire a freelancer, they can hire from anywhere in the

61
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:20,690
world.

62
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:24,290
They can get top level virtual talent teams, right?

63
00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:27,660
They don't have to like just hire these salary employees anymore.

64
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:29,900
So that's how it can change your life.

65
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:31,900
Is that change your mindset.

66
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:34,010
You don't have to just work for one company.

67
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:39,350
You can start working for multiple companies, and that is what a freelancer does.

68
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:40,880
And it's a win win.

69
00:04:40,890 --> 00:04:45,320
That's the most important thing to remember is that it changes your life because you're no longer just

70
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,180
kind of slaving away for a nine to five.

71
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:51,050
You're now in a mutual relationship with a client.

72
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:55,910
And that actually adds a lot of value to your life and more money.

73
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:03,740
So freelancers versus agencies, so another thing that people start to talk about when they when they

74
00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:08,540
talk about freelancing is that, you know, while you're starting to compete with different agencies

75
00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:13,040
and do people really hire freelancers, aren't they looking for like these big agencies?

76
00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:19,640
Well, want to tell you a story like I was working my nine to five and I was a marketing coordinator.

77
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:25,670
So what that meant was I coordinated all the marketing from my company and the marketing teams that

78
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:26,240
they hired.

79
00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:32,360
So I worked with some of the biggest marketing agencies in the country, you know, paying five ten

80
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,100
thousand a month just for their services.

81
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:41,360
And what I learned was that you don't get the level of actual service that you get when you're working

82
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,260
with a freelancer.

83
00:05:42,530 --> 00:05:46,880
So for example, what does that mean when you're working with one of these big agencies, you don't

84
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,450
have someone you can just call, you know, right off the right off the bat.

85
00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:55,400
You have to go through their messaging systems and you have to like submit tickets when things go wrong.

86
00:05:55,790 --> 00:06:03,320
And a freelancer has much more flexibility and the ability to also provide exceptional service.

87
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:09,620
So that's something that I learned and literally this agency before my nine to five actually fired them

88
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:10,130
outright.

89
00:06:10,490 --> 00:06:15,470
What happened was we hired them to do like a keyword study, and the keyword study they gave us was

90
00:06:15,470 --> 00:06:21,140
so bad that the one that I had initially done, like when I first started out as an intern, was like

91
00:06:21,140 --> 00:06:22,370
leaps and bounds better.

92
00:06:22,670 --> 00:06:24,770
So what that showed me right there is that.

93
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,820
I was adding value to this business, and I understood that, oh my God, I can just do this for other

94
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:32,450
businesses.

95
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,730
I don't have to be stuck just in this one box.

96
00:06:34,970 --> 00:06:40,730
So I'm really trying to start to shift your mindset, start to understand how there is so much potential

97
00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:43,790
here once you learn how to really leverage your value.

98
00:06:45,610 --> 00:06:51,250
Next, that gets right into it, leveraging your value, getting paid for your value and not your time.

99
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:56,830
So the rise of the gig economy has made it easier than ever for people to take their work lives like

100
00:06:56,860 --> 00:07:01,180
into their own hands and get the freedom that they want and that they deserve.

101
00:07:01,690 --> 00:07:06,310
This is so powerful once you start to understand that you don't have to punch the clock just to get

102
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:12,460
paid, you can start charging monthly for services and really escape just that hamster wheel.

103
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,300
That is, when you're going to start to see the shift in your mindset.

104
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:21,040
And that's when you're going to start waking up even more excited every day because you're not just

105
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,290
tied to that clock tied to the desk anymore.

106
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:26,080
It's all about the value that you're providing.

107
00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:34,910
Next, you were directly tied to your success, so you don't have to work your way up like up the corporate

108
00:07:34,910 --> 00:07:41,830
ladder over 10 20 years, if you want to start making, you know, six figure income that's on you,

109
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,060
like obviously you have to put the work in to get there.

110
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,670
And not everyone gets there because a lot of people quit.

111
00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:49,940
But what I'm saying is you're the one that's tied to your success.

112
00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:52,940
So if you don't get to your goals, that's just on you.

113
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,370
Whereas when you're in a nine to five, you're in a salary job, it's very easy to just get complacent

114
00:07:58,370 --> 00:08:02,440
and to just kind of sit back because you just, you know, you have your salary rolling in.

115
00:08:02,450 --> 00:08:04,190
There's no reason to really grow.

116
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:12,810
Next, freelancing really has given me and every freelancer I've spoken to agree with this a sense of

117
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:13,410
purpose.

118
00:08:13,590 --> 00:08:15,600
It's not just about the money, of course.

119
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,730
The money is important, but there's people.

120
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:23,190
There's real life people just like you and me that went from this traditional mindset of working just

121
00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:27,090
one job and started working a freelance career.

122
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,550
And one of the byproducts that you didn't even know was in a come with that was this increased level

123
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:37,770
of purpose, because now you're working on your own business, it's your own brand, and that is really,

124
00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:38,610
really exciting.

125
00:08:40,190 --> 00:08:46,310
And ultimately, freedom is what equals happiness, like being able to do what you want to do in life.

126
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,100
In my eyes, that's what happiness is because that means you don't have to report to anyone else.

127
00:08:52,130 --> 00:08:58,070
You take your power back in life because the truth is you're either working for someone else's dream

128
00:08:58,070 --> 00:09:00,200
or you're working on your own dream.

129
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,360
And this is the first step.

130
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Understanding how to shift your mindset.

131
00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:13,650
Next, let's go over understanding financial, personal and professional freedom and what that looks

132
00:09:13,650 --> 00:09:13,950
like.

133
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,300
Well, the actual definition of freedom is important to understand because it really is the foundation

134
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:22,160
of what freelancing is.

135
00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:23,960
I mean, it has the word free in it.

136
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:31,790
So freedom is the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

137
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:34,750
This means you get to choose your path.

138
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,240
It also has an alternative definition of the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.

139
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:47,700
When you think about it, that's what freedom really is, because if you're stuck doing something you

140
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:49,860
don't want to do, you really are imprisoned.

141
00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:54,330
You're you're enslaved in a certain way of living or acting.

142
00:09:54,570 --> 00:09:58,610
And you know, you might be telling yourself it's out of your control.

143
00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:03,990
But the truth is, and this is what the millionaire mindset is all about, is that it is in your control.

144
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:08,160
So look for ways you can create freedom in your life.

145
00:10:08,430 --> 00:10:13,950
Look for ways you can not be imprisoned or enslaved to anything, even if you're being imprisoned in

146
00:10:13,950 --> 00:10:15,420
an old way of thinking.

147
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:19,160
So step number one to financial freedom.

148
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:28,260
It's doing the math, and what that means is looking a little bit deeper into what financial freedom

149
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:29,280
even is.

150
00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:31,560
So let's just break it down.

151
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:36,240
If you want to be a millionaire, you have to do the millionaire math to see how it's possible.

152
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,180
This is the process I like to use for anything.

153
00:10:39,390 --> 00:10:42,960
When you want to look at how you can achieve a goal, you need to break it down.

154
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:47,610
So a million dollars is a thousand people buying a thousand dollar product.

155
00:10:48,450 --> 00:10:51,480
So if you do know that, you know, a thousand times a thousand, that's a million.

156
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:58,410
But more importantly, this starts to help break it down because, you know, let's say you are selling

157
00:10:58,410 --> 00:11:03,510
a thousand dollar product, you know, all you need is a thousand people to make a million dollars.

158
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:10,460
Say you're selling a $2000 product, you only need 500 people to buy that to have a million dollars.

159
00:11:11,650 --> 00:11:17,320
400 people at 2500, so obviously, you know, the higher you can kind of upsell.

160
00:11:18,390 --> 00:11:23,490
The last number of people you need to get that million and look at that's that's 400 people, I mean,

161
00:11:23,490 --> 00:11:27,570
obviously, you know, a $2500 product needs to be very, very valuable.

162
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,240
But what I'm trying to show you is this is possible when you break it down and you do the math.

163
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:41,260
It gets even more exciting as you start to look at the power of once again multiplying and increasing.

164
00:11:41,260 --> 00:11:48,190
So now instead of that 2500, if you charge $5000, you only need 200 people to get that million dollars.

165
00:11:48,910 --> 00:11:51,160
Now here's another way to look at, you know, millionaire math.

166
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,170
34 people pay you two point five K a month for a year.

167
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,750
So now that's like, let's say you have, you know, a service that you offer for two point five thousand

168
00:12:02,770 --> 00:12:03,190
a month.

169
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:10,330
You need thirty for clients or 30 for people to pay you for a year and you literally made a million

170
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:10,870
dollars.

171
00:12:12,220 --> 00:12:14,950
And let's, you know, double that again, let's do some more math.

172
00:12:15,460 --> 00:12:17,520
You only need 17 people.

173
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:22,420
The pay you five K per month for 12 months to make a million dollars a year.

174
00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:27,200
And what this is trying to show you is, you know, not how easy it is to make a million.

175
00:12:27,220 --> 00:12:31,000
Of course, you know, it's going to take a very high level of work and focus.

176
00:12:31,390 --> 00:12:38,050
But what it's showing you is that it's possible because a lot of people have the misconception that

177
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:40,710
it's nearly impossible to be a millionaire.

178
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,730
You know, only the lucky people have money.

179
00:12:42,730 --> 00:12:43,810
They were born into it.

180
00:12:43,810 --> 00:12:45,310
But the truth is.

181
00:12:46,980 --> 00:12:50,220
There is no shortage of money on planet Earth.

182
00:12:50,940 --> 00:12:52,060
You know, there really isn't.

183
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,520
You could take a billion dollars off of Earth tomorrow and no one would even notice.

184
00:12:56,820 --> 00:13:00,270
Money is literally transacted every single second.

185
00:13:00,990 --> 00:13:04,680
Not only is money transacted, but credit is transacted.

186
00:13:04,830 --> 00:13:11,130
That's literally people buying, buying things, buying products and services with money that they don't

187
00:13:11,130 --> 00:13:11,710
even have.

188
00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:13,590
It's just an IOU to a bank.

189
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:18,960
So what I'm trying to tell you is that you need to shift your mindset, understand that there is no

190
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,860
shortage of money.

191
00:13:20,130 --> 00:13:22,410
And you know that saying money doesn't grow on trees?

192
00:13:22,410 --> 00:13:26,190
Well, I mean, it's actually does grow on trees in a way, right?

193
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:29,430
Because it grows from a cut in bush and in a way that's that's a tree.

194
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:35,640
So shift your thinking, get these old sayings out of your head that have been instilled in you for

195
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,510
years, you know?

196
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:42,360
A penny saved is a penny earned and you know you're never going to be rich, just be realistic.

197
00:13:42,390 --> 00:13:44,130
You need to throw that thinking out.

198
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:50,280
Understand that there is abundance out there if you know how to get it and if you go and do it.

199
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:57,260
Next, I want to talk about what personal freedom is, so now that we've discussed like what financial

200
00:13:57,260 --> 00:13:57,860
freedom is?

201
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,480
We did some millionaire math.

202
00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:03,650
I want to talk about what personal freedom is and what it means to me.

203
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,480
To me, personal freedom is being able to make your own schedule.

204
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,870
Having the freedom to work not only when you want, but where you want and where you get to spend your

205
00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:20,910
off time, you know, so like when you're a freelancer and you don't have to specifically be in one

206
00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:23,390
place, you can work from wherever you want.

207
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,500
So that means, you know, do you want to go visit family?

208
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:26,900
Do you want to go on a trip?

209
00:14:26,910 --> 00:14:30,830
Do you want to just, you know, have your home office and be able to work from home and, you know,

210
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,040
spend time with your kids?

211
00:14:32,670 --> 00:14:34,310
It's all up to you.

212
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,980
And then the other beautiful part of it is you get to structure your schedule.

213
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:44,880
So what I'm showing you is that not only does does freelancing have the ability to change your life

214
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,610
in a financial way, but it's also going to help transform your life when you're not working.

215
00:14:51,060 --> 00:14:53,820
And it's really all about choosing how you want your life.

216
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:55,320
Everyone is different.

217
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,770
You know, everyone wants to do different things and value different things.

218
00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:03,060
But that's the beauty of it is you get to choose how you want to live your life.

219
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:05,970
You get to choose where you want to work.

220
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,610
You know, do you want to work on the beach?

221
00:15:08,970 --> 00:15:09,990
The mountains?

222
00:15:11,060 --> 00:15:14,330
Do you want to be, you know, hiking on your off time?

223
00:15:14,990 --> 00:15:16,010
It doesn't matter.

224
00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:20,150
The beauty is I've worked from all over the country, everywhere.

225
00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:25,370
I've been traveling for the past three four years freelancing and when I had my nine to five, it wasn't

226
00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:26,060
that way.

227
00:15:26,060 --> 00:15:28,340
I literally wasn't able to do anything.

228
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:32,900
I only had a couple days of PTO time and that was really for holidays to see family.

229
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:39,050
So just being able to choose where I want to work and go, where I want to on my off time, not have

230
00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:42,140
to ask for permission to take a vacation.

231
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,530
For me, that was the personal freedom I was looking for.

232
00:15:49,150 --> 00:15:51,520
You also get to choose when you want to work.

233
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:53,840
So like we spoke about previously.

234
00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:01,300
You know, you get to be in control of your time in control of your schedule, in control of your life.

235
00:16:01,690 --> 00:16:06,010
And this is something that is very, very kind of underrated in a way.

236
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:12,490
But it has such a big impact because when you when you get to actually plan your schedule, how you

237
00:16:12,490 --> 00:16:17,440
get to choose, whether you want to do a three day weekend or you get to choose, you know, whether

238
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,270
you want to work night shifts and have mornings to spend time with your family or, you know, do a

239
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,080
hobby you love.

240
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:29,260
But what I'm trying to say is you're no longer stuck in this box of and you have to show up at these

241
00:16:29,260 --> 00:16:29,620
hours.

242
00:16:29,890 --> 00:16:34,720
You now can kind of shift your schedule around your life and not the other way around.

243
00:16:34,930 --> 00:16:39,550
And that is when you start to really understand that not only does money become more accessible with

244
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:44,130
freelancing, but your life starts to even just get better overall because of it.

245
00:16:45,460 --> 00:16:52,030
And really, having the ability when you work is having freedom over your schedule and having freedom

246
00:16:52,030 --> 00:16:56,290
over your schedule, like we said, is having freedom over your daily life.

247
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,320
And lastly, you get to choose what you want to work on.

248
00:17:00,590 --> 00:17:06,830
And this is something else that you get to focus and provide skills that you enjoy doing.

249
00:17:07,070 --> 00:17:08,630
You can find what it is.

250
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:12,260
That's a high, in-demand skill and you can do that for a business.

251
00:17:12,530 --> 00:17:17,930
And that's really, really powerful because when you do something that you enjoy doing, time goes quicker.

252
00:17:17,930 --> 00:17:23,240
It doesn't really feel like work and you really feel like a different sense of purpose as opposed to

253
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,970
when you're working a job that's just very monotonous and you're not contributing to something bigger.

254
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:38,410
You're just overall in a better state of mind, better mood, and that gives you what I call professional

255
00:17:38,410 --> 00:17:38,860
freedom.

256
00:17:41,150 --> 00:17:47,100
And here's a really, really good quote I like true happiness is the ultimate feeling of freedom.

257
00:17:47,540 --> 00:17:53,090
You experience the freedom of choice when you live from the inside out, not allowing your happiness

258
00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:57,050
to be defined by the traditional benchmarks, but creating your own.

259
00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:03,440
Listening to your own inner voice and trusting your choices will lead you to a life of happiness.

260
00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:11,440
And that is really what I resonate with when you have that true sense of freedom.

261
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:17,800
That's when you start to feel this underlying layer of happiness really start to increase.

262
00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:24,400
And that's what the millionaire mindset is all about being able to not only be a millionaire financially,

263
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,380
but be a millionaire in other ways.

264
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:32,560
Have abundance in your self, in your confidence, have abundance in quality relationships.

265
00:18:32,770 --> 00:18:37,990
It's not just about the money, it's about financial, personal and professional freedom.

266
00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:40,990
So now you know how freelancing can change your life.

267
00:18:41,710 --> 00:18:45,970
Ultimately, happiness is what occurs when you have freedom.
