You want more time to build and create.

The issue is, your time is limited.

You're already working 9-5, and you have other responsibilities.

4 months ago, I felt the same way.

THREAD: How to unlock time to build and create using a Simple 3-Step Formula for Financial Freedom.

4 months ago, I was stuck.

I was working on 4000 different projects, and I was totally burnt out.

I loved the projects I was working on, but I didn't have the time or energy to invest in growing them.

I needed a solution.

I love building things and learning new things.

I hated not having the time to build things.

I needed a way to create more time for myself.

So I began searching the internet.

I searched Google and Reddit for a solution.

I knew there were other 9-5ers out there who had figured this out.

Then, I came across the term Financial Freedom on @The_MMW's blog...

Financial Freedom is having enough money to live life without worrying about money.

My thought was if I could build assets that would enable me to be financially free, I could allocate more time to building and creating.

BINGO!
