My Journey To Freedom And Over $9000 Per Month

My online adventure started in May 2005 when I decided to have a personal website. I’ve read many tennis websites and found that, at least in my opinion, lots of instruction online was not that effective.

I wanted to share my ideas with more people than just a few kids on a court (who weren’t even really interested).

It never occured to me at that time that my online business would help me to achieve financial freedom and freedom from being stuck in a job.

Learning To Walk In The Online World

I asked a friend who worked for an IT company to help me out, and he suggested a website design firm that would create a website for me.

The design, the ability to write text and upload pictures, cost $700. I thought I had a good deal.

Achieved Financial Freedom On 1st Of December 2007!

I have finally achieved financial freedom on 1st of December 2007!

The feeling hasn’t settled in yet, but I feel an incredible relief and peace of mind.

My mind keeps going into the future to check what I HAVE to do and there is nothing. No pressure, no deadlines and no work that I don’t like to do.

The only things that I see in the future are things that I WANT to do.

I am moving from Thailand back to Slovenia in 4 days where I’ll celebrate my freedom and financial independence with my family and friends.

This New Year will also be a special one since it will be all about NEW beginnings. It’s like I can start writing a new chapter in the book of my life.

I sincerely hope that you have this same powerful desire to achieve financial freedom and become totally independent of a regular job.

I am aware that this achievement is a product of my perseverance and burning desire to free myself, but I have a great deal to thank Ken Evoy, the whole team at www.sitesell.com and many SBI-ers who shared their advice in the SBI forums.

Thank you all!

Only 29 Days To Freedom!

Great news! My contract at the tennis academy ends 1 month sooner than originally planned so I have only 29 days left to total freedom!

Basically I asked for an earlier leave since there are only a few kids here at the academy and I would like to plan my USA journey from my home. The boss had no problems with that.

And of course, it will be nice to celebrate new year with my friends and family.

I am planning a series of articles for the last 10 days before freedom. They will show you a 10 step plan to financial freedom and how I got to this stage.

On another note, my October monthly earnings have grown for 10% since September so I was only $452 short of my monthly income goal.

It seems I’ll have to raise the bar again. So… What was my monthly income goal?

Do You Want To Make More Money Online?

If you ask this question to internet marketers and bloggers most of them would give you a weird stare and say, “OF COURSE, man, what kind of question is that? ”

But if you then ask them WHY they want to make more money, you’ll often see a blank expression on their face accompanied with no immediate answer.

So many people get stuck in this more-money race that they completely lose sight of the big picture.

Think about it: money is either metal, paper, or numbers.

Countdown to Freedom Begins

As I already mentioned in the About Me page, my contract here at the Tennis Academy of Asia in Bangkok ends on 31st of December, 2007.

That means that on the 1st of January 2008 I’ll be a free man.

My online income gives me the financial freedom to do what I choose to do and not be forced into some work that I don’t like.

Making More Money or Enjoying It?

One of the traps of the mind (and ego) is the more and more approach.

Even though you may have enough, there is always the desire for more.

This, on the one hand, can drive you to really securing your financial freedom and thus your personal freedom.

But, on the other hand, you still work and work and compare yourself with individuals who earn even more than you and you never stop to actually enjoy that money and freedom.
