Creating Freedon & Lifestyle First

Tony Kereluke • May 1, 2021

Today and tomorrow freedom is becoming a more important quality that ever before. Flexibility, lifestyle and the ability to make choices is what it is all about now. We all have choices to make in life. However many are stuck with barriers and limitations that in many ways are self-created. Try and remove these barriers as a next step.

Our freedoms are being stripped away a little more than ever before. Creating freedom for ourselves is up to you and us and not anyone else. In fact no one will give us freedom and lifestyle. The same goes for that no one will put food in our fridge either. So we need to find ways to earn and generate revenue for ourselves in different ways, and look at being more self-sustainable. In addition to finding the freedom & flexibility lifestyle backed behind it.

Did you ever notice we are not taught in school or post-secondary or at any level to understand, and master the ability to earn, and generate multiple revenue streams. Nor are we taught to understand food and nutrients and how to cook and feed ourselves with nourishing foods. The system is often rigged so you do not know how to earn and then find ways to pay less taxes as an entrepreneur.

The stone cold facts is that no one wants you to know become an entrepreneur especially in Canada. You should work hard pay 40% to 50% taxes and pay off your student loan. This is a broken model and creates a massive barrier to remove. Then with easy debt loans taken out one has even more barriers in the way.

We can all make choices with action and purpose to become an entrepreneur which gives you freedom, flexibility and in many cases a lifestyle.

Don’t follow the money. Follow a passion and a dream and create a niche. When you start carving into these things then the money comes. It may take time however you need to give yourself time and remove the barrier of time. If you need a reboot don’t be scared, and if you are financed up and this barrier is in the way then one might want to consider selling it off and rebooting things.

Keep dreaming and its ok to say I want to be an entrepreneur to have lifestyle and freedom out loud or in the mirror. As someone might help you and your mind will listen to yourself as well.
