I speak to many entrepreneurs every week. Some in direct conversation; others in DMs and texts.


The #1 desire amongst them: Freedom.


“I don’t want a boss telling me what to do.”



“I don’t want to play office politics anymore, pretending to like people who I hate / hate me.”



“I want to have the resources (money, time, calendar space) to do as I wish, WHEN I wish.”


The problem is, their current situation does not provide such freedom. As a matter of fact, the current situation is causing the opposite circumstance.


May I share with you why this is the case? It’s easy to address when you understand this…



People who say the above things are employed. About 61% of working-eligible adults are employed. Employment is a good idea; it comes with the quasi-security of a biweekly paycheck.


But, there are no perfect scenarios in life, only trade-offs. That security is not free.



The price of security is freedom. In exchange for that guaranteed paycheck, you trade in your freedom.



Your freedom to do what you want to do.



Your freedom to not like that bitch from the marketing department.



Your freedom to tell your boss what you really think about him.


Your freedom to jump in that political conversation on Facebook and say what you really believe.



The tradeoff of your security is that your options are limited. Moreso, your options are often dictated to you, either explicitly or implicitly, by the person who signs your checks (or the threat of what this person may do if you get on their bad side).



The alternative is to flip the equation around: Give up all your securities in exchange for full freedom.



No guaranteed check.


No one to defer to when things aren't working.


No safety net (other than one that you create and maintain).


Then you're free to do as you wish, with no restrictions.


In reality, we each choose a mix of both freedom and security.


You follow legal rules to stay out of jail.



Adhere to social rules to be polite and not cause unnecessary conflict.


Still, most of us lean mostly one way or another, not by number of securities and freedoms – but by mindset and energy. By modus operandi: a particular way or method of doing something, especially one that is characteristic or well-established.



During his time in the bondage of slavery, Frederick Douglas learned both to read and to physically defend himself against abusive slave masters. The experiences mentally transformed Douglas, to which point he remarked he’d “become a freeman in spirit, while I remained a slave in form.”



Once mentally free, physical freedom is a mere formality.


Many centuries later, most people of every race are still mentally enslaved.


Top forms of bondage:


Fear

Laziness

Indecision



They all feed off of each other.


When you're fearful, you take no action and you're less able to make definite decisions.


Indecisive people can't take action, the lack of movement feeds their fears, and so on.


The mental game is the most important game you'll ever play.


Your mind must be freed before your flesh will be.


The price of that freedom is all the safety you're still gripping tight to right now.
