These days, many people say they want the freedom to be nomadic entrepreneurs. In other words, they want to travel the world and work online from wherever they happen to be.

I know a few regular people who have achieved that lifestyle. And they’re very happy with it.

Is this the kind of freedom you want? Many people say they don’t like being a slave to their jobs. They say that they want to be free.

I used to say that I would do any kind of job for 6 months every year if it gave me enough money and freedom to not work the other 6 months. That might mean that I would have to clean toilets – or clean up dog poo – I didn’t care. Anything that would give me enough money during 6 months of work to have 6 months free – I would do it.

What I finally ended up doing is far better that those two options that I just mentioned, but you can see that I was pretty serious about getting that lifestyle. I was willing to sacrifice half of my life in order to totally liberate the other half – doing what I wanted whenever I wanted, wherever I wanted, with whomever I wanted.

I didn’t develop this lifestyle quickly. I went from job to job – teaching Spanish, working as a secretary, doing word processing, working as a waitress, and many more. I also tried several businesses – a pet album that I sold at dog shows, import/export, making dog biscuits, and more.

I don’t belong to that group of people who only want to work 4 hours a week until retirement or who want to spend every day free as a bird, lounging on a beach in some beautiful tropical country. I think you can see that I was willing to put in some hard work in order to attain my goal of 6 months total freedom every year.

Now that I have achieved that, I can look back on my life and see that the steps I took along the way formed an overall path in the direction that would liberate me half of every year, but I could have gotten into this lifestyle much quicker if I had known some things early on.

And I want to share this information with you in case you’re feeling the same way that I was. Once I got into this lifestyle, I considered myself semi-retired.

So you’re probably wondering what kind of work I do that gives me real freedom for half of every year. Some you already know that I became a tour director. That’s very seasonal work, so it was easy to have a lot of time off each year. I generally worked May to October. Perfect. I loved it.

Many of you probably want to be some kind of internet marketer so that you can work wherever there’s an internet. For most of my adult life, that wasn’t possible, but it certainly is now, and I’m taking advantage of that now.

Have you figured out what kind of freedom you want?
