For many people, the idea of “financial freedom” is having enough money that you don’t have to work.⁣

Having enough money to pursue your passions.⁣

And having enough money to do whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want.⁣

It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it...⁣

But does it really exist?⁣

Back when I was running my one-man advertising agency, I met this ‘webmaster’ guy who told me to get a website.⁣

A little surprised, I asked him.⁣

“Okay, why do I need a website?”⁣

“No no Dan, you don’t get it, you need a website.”⁣

“But what am I going to do with a website? I’m busy enough as it is. I don’t need more clients.”⁣

“Well, you don’t have to use it for clients. You could sell something on the website.”⁣

“Like what?”⁣

“I don’t know, put some stuff together. Sell a book or something.”⁣

So I said “Okay fine”. And then a little later, I put together my very first book, Forbidden Psychological Tactics, and I started selling it online...⁣

To my surprise, I started getting orders.⁣

In just 30 days of selling stuff online - I made a couple grand.⁣

And I was like “Oh my god. This is awesome.”⁣

So I made another product.⁣

And then another one.⁣

And the money just kept coming in...⁣

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you how much…⁣

It was a ridiculous amount.⁣

You can call it luck, good timing or whatever else you want. It was working.⁣

And I was happy.⁣

I was so happy with how things were turning out - I set the goal to retire by the age of 30.⁣

And then did it. I retired.⁣

Became a millionaire. Had this massive amount of passive income coming in every month.⁣

And I thought to myself. “Okay. That’s it. I’m done.”⁣

“Not going to work another day in my life.”⁣

Now. This is where I’m supposed to say “The End” or something like that.⁣

But what happened next, might actually shock you...⁣

After not working for two months - and just doing whatever the hell I wanted - I was bored out of my mind.⁣

I thought to myself. “Is this it?”⁣

“Is this all that there it?”⁣

It got to the point where I was so depressed, I didn’t know what to do with myself anymore…⁣

So I called up my mentor.⁣

“I don’t understand, I thought I would be happy when I became a millionaire. I thought this was what I always wanted.”⁣

And he just laughed.⁣

And after talking with him for a while, I realized something.⁣

The Truth About Financial Freedom⁣

Most people say they want to get to a point where they’re so financially free they never have to work again.⁣

They say they want to retire and just sit on the beach or travel or go on vacation.⁣

But what I’ve learnt is this.⁣

Most people don’t want to retire...⁣

They just want to do things retired people do.⁣

For example:⁣

- They want the freedom to do whatever they want with their time. ⁣

- And they want the freedom to buy whatever they want with their money...⁣

But most people don’t want to sit around and do nothing all day.⁣

And that’s why I was unhappy. I wasn’t doing anything of meaning.⁣

So from then on, I decided I would still retire but I would retire - INTO my businesses and companies.⁣

I would work with people I want to work with. And I would create things I want to create.⁣

Maybe you’re looking for a way out of what you currently do.⁣

Maybe you had a taste of vacation at the end of last year and you just wish it would go on and on.⁣

Or maybe you didn’t even have a vacation, and you see everyone else and you wish you could do the same.⁣

But I can guarantee you, what you actually want, isn’t to sit around on vacation - it’s to do work that you’re passionate about.⁣

It’s to create something meaningful in the world.⁣

So don’t aim for financial freedom. Where you don’t have to work anymore...⁣

Aim for financial competence. Where you still work, but you get to call the shots.⁣

You get to choose who you work with. You get to choose how much you pull in every month.⁣

And you get to create the perfect lifestyle you’re always thinking about.⁣

Sure financial confidence sounds great, but who actually reveals how you can get it?⁣

If you’re interested in the secret way to build yourself rock-solid financial confidence…⁣
