ARE YOU AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR JOB?
6: Freedom to say no to some customers/companies

Some customers and/or companies just aren’t right for my taste. The chemistry is wrong,
their needs don’t match my solutions or they’re just too much trouble. I have the freedom to
say no to some customers and yes to the best customers.
All of the above really comes down to short-term vs. long-term planning. Economic freedom
let’s you invest in your future by doing things now that make less money, but will eventually
make you more.

7: Peace of mind

I spend almost zero time and energy worrying about money – it’s just not an issue. I also
don’t need to worry whether the interest rates go up or down half a point. Or whether there
really is a housing bubble and house prices are about to start falling. That’s a huge relief and
gives me more time and energy for some work and life.

8: Focus on what really matters

When I’m not concerned with a bigger home, bigger car or bigger TV I focus on what really
matters. My colleagues, associates, music, writing, networking, learning, reading, TV etc… I
waste no time keeping up with the Joneses.

9: Simple living

Living in a small bungalow has taught me
to own only the things I really need. I’ve
been getting really good at throwing or
giving away clothes, linens, kitchenware,
furniture, knick-knacks etc. that I don’t
use regularly. And this is a huge relief
because I can form a huge attachment to
the things I own and paring them down to
only the things I really need teaches one
to let go of that. There’s a mental relief
and freedom that comes from that. Less
stuff in your home = less stuff on your
mind. This was the same principle when
my wife was alive.

10: More money for fun stuff

When less money goes into the stuff I own, there’s more money for the stuff I do.
Like music, travelling and more.

I want to make two things very clear:
1: This is not about being un-ambitious at work or setting work goals. I can assure you that
my aspirations are as big as the next person’s. It’s about realizing that economic wiggle room
frees you to do things and take chances that lead to more happiness and therefore to great
results in your work life and your private life.
