Do what you must...
Do what you must, so you can do what you want.
Have you heard that phrase before? I have well.
Heck, not only have I heard it before, I've preached it for many years, but I just recently realized that I wasn't practicing what I preached.
Many of you know that I twist balloons and it has served me well for the last 18 years, but I was getting weary of doing it week in and week out.
I've been thinking about getting out of it and I have been resisting having to do that in order to have income coming in while I oursue my long-term plan that doesn't necessarily require my presence all the time.
While I enjoyed doing balloons and I still do, and there is no substitute for a child hugging your legs and saying you're the best. Being a balloon artist requires my presence. In other words, I am trading time for money, even though the money is good, it's still a time for money exchange.
This past weekend I had what I call a duh moment. I realized that if I work 20 hours a week doing balloons I can remove all the financial stress out of my life and focus the rest of the time doing what I'm passionate about.
So I have recommitted myself to showing up about 20 hours a week handing out balloon animals, and spend the rest of the time doing what I enjoy doing, which is helping people create Freedom Lifestyle without having to worry about income.
When I give away balloons people give away money. I know that when I start giving away my experiences and knowledge the money will show up. I won't have to struggle for it, fight for it or worry about it.
But until that cash flow starts I don't have the stress anymore because I have balloons as my channel of income.
What are you resisting that is actually working for you?
