Here’s the Formula to Build a Life You Don’t Need to Escape From
No more living for weekends and 4 weeks of vacation
I’m horrified by the holiday I take in 7 days.
When I had a job I lived for my 1–2 holidays a year. Now I work for myself the shine of those vacation dreams has worn off.
What I realized is back in the cubicle days I was trying to escape. I’d watch AFL football with my mates at the pub and drink beers. If I didn’t have a drink on a Friday after work, I’d struggle to show up on Monday.
Escapism was the way I survived.
I needed to take my mind off my bullsh*t job. I needed to forget I wasn’t making progress and using the same one year’s worth of experience over and over and pretending to feel smart.
Then a few key mentors showed me another way. Now I don’t need to escape. When I’m on my Queensland holiday I’ll still be writing and running an online business each day.
What I do during my work day is the same thing I do on my days off. I love it, therefore, I don’t want to “get away” or run for the hills.
The answer is right in front of you
