Unlocking Your FREEDOM Number
00:00:00.000 | - You said the freedom number people need
00:00:01.420 | is a lot smaller than you think.
00:00:02.660 | - For me, it always seemed risky, this freedom number,
00:00:05.120 | the way I realized it, and I've noticed
00:00:06.520 | that a lot of other entrepreneurs have had,
00:00:08.760 | it always seems so risky to have these day jobs.
00:00:10.480 | And then I thought, oh man, entrepreneurship,
00:00:12.000 | I don't know how much I have to make.
00:00:14.000 | And then I recognized, well, how much do I need
00:00:15.480 | to really be able to do the thing I wanna do
00:00:17.140 | and have freedom?
00:00:17.980 | And it was way less than I expected.
00:00:19.600 | And it really came down to three categories,
00:00:21.200 | which is living, food, savings.
00:00:24.020 | And for me, it was $3,000.
00:00:25.720 | And when I was at my day job, I was like,
00:00:29.000 | well, if I can get the side hustle to that number,
00:00:30.640 | then I can quit.
00:00:32.040 | And I never encouraged people
00:00:33.480 | to actually go take a risky thing.
00:00:35.280 | It seemed risky to quit your job
00:00:36.280 | to try to hopefully start a business.
00:00:37.920 | It's not what I want people to do.
00:00:38.960 | And when you realize how much smaller that number is
00:00:41.040 | than you expect, you realize it's also more attainable.
00:00:44.680 | And so I've twice quit jobs and then gone on
00:00:47.080 | once I hit my $3,000 freedom number.
