TLDR:
- The price tag you set for the financial freedom you seek to attain is how much you need to be freed
How entrepreneurs have enslaved themselves from the get-go
For a vast majority of entrepreneurs, it is safe to assume that their ultimate end goal is financial freedom to do the things they truly enjoy doing and have all the time in the world afterward to indulge in them to their heart’s content.
But how do you attain that financial freedom? Why, with money of course.
So how does that enslave entrepreneurs you ask? It’s simple really.
The entrepreneurs themselves set the price tag for financial freedom, so they’ve already enslaved themselves without even recognizing it, for until they’ve accumulated the money, they bind themselves into the systems and processes they have put in place to work towards the goal.
No matter how low or how high the price tag is, entrepreneurs are regardless slaves to the financial freedom they desire.
If it turns out that the systems and processes put in place weren’t optimal enough to attain financial freedom, as long as they still have the drive to continue being enslaved, they will be revamped.
If the idea turns out to be a bust, as long as the exigence to remain a slave to financial freedom is there, they’ll merely move on to the next idea.
Each dollar in revenue generated is one less freedom coupon the entrepreneur has to stock up on, for money is just freedom coupons. One coupon collected, and only a few several hundred thousand coupons left to go.
However, the irony is that this needn’t be the case for every entrepreneur, for while one’s price tag for financial freedom may be set at only a few thousand dollars, the person next to them may have set theirs at 10 times the price.
This all boils down to the pride and conscience of the entrepreneur, in that what is enough to float their boat.
But nonetheless, such enslavement is essentially a curse willingly cast on themselves, a curse that really weeds out the strong from the weak, or in this case, those who can and cannot be entrepreneurs.
For those who have what it takes to be entrepreneurs, it is a curse they’ll enjoy every last second of, and as for the ones who can’t, they’ll just lift the curse off themselves.
Which is how there are 2 ways to be freed entrepreneurial financial freedom enslavement: you’re able to collect every single freedom coupon you said is needed, or you give up.
