How to break free from the 9-5

How to break free from the 9-5....?

WITHOUT losing everything you’ve worked so hard for.?

Now if you love your 9-5, if it’s purposeful and fulfilling, if it’s you doing what you want, when you want, how you want and with whom you want…

If you’re free and living the EXACT life you want

Then this is NOT for you. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s obviously working for YOU.

BUT…if your 9-5 isn’t all of those things and you want to break free then?I want to show you how.

This isn’t a flash in the pan or the latest craze, I’ve seen it work with hundreds of clients.?I’ve seen their joy. Seen the moments and memories they’ve created.?Seen their enhanced finances. And supercharged excitement and energy. I have seen them take control and do it their way

AND I want the same for you.?

Let’s start with what’s most likely stopping you breaking free (taken from my work with clients and recent polls):

?? Lack of clarity on the alternatives

?? Fear of not maintaining safety and security

?? Having to meet commitments/responsibilities.

I want to address these separately ?????? to give them the attention and focus they deserve.?

?Let’s start with clarity.?

#1 Clarity

If you can’t see the alternative then it doesn’t exist right.?So the default is keep doing the same thing.?

How do you fix that??The $25M question.

?So how do you see the alternative(s)???

How do you get clear on what you want?

What can you do that’s different to what you’re doing??Better??More fulfilling?

Simple. You create it

And here’s how:

Step 1: Define your why, your purpose (the non ego/self-driven one).??

Step 2: Define your identity, your powers, the things that make you YOU.

Step 3: Combine the two ^^^ to create your value. What you can do unlike ANYONE else in the world.

Once you have your value, once you can define it, you’ll see it is NOT limited to what you do now (no matter how good you may be at that). You’ll see how you can apply that in different ways

And that’s how you create an alternative. In fact, in my experience, you’ll be able to create multiple alternatives. I’ve had clients change direction completely. From tech positions to running a marketing company.?From PR to training.?From engineering to coaching. From real estate to performance.

By identifying alternatives, you’ll have choice.?You’ll have options. That’s when the lightbulb moment happens for most people.?Not only do you have alternatives, but they’re almost always more appealing, more exciting, more fulfilling than what you do now.

And that’s some pretty powerful motivation to create change right there.

#2 Fear of not being able to maintain the safety and security your 9-5 provides

The comfort and ease it provides for you and your family.?

I get it.?This is a biggie. You’ve worked hard to build up the nest egg - the security blanket - to the point you can’t imagine life without it. You need the safety and security of your 9-5 to maintain what you have and entrepreneurship doesn’t offer that does it?

Well, the last 2 years have shown it’s not always that clear cut.?The perception that the 9-5 is safer isn’t always reality.?

In fact ALL of my 1:1 clients have thrived (are in a MUCH better position than before) during the craziness because they’re doing it their way.?They’ve created value that is, well valuable, to others.??

But it’s easy to say from the other side. Exactly how do you maintain the safety and security???

To put it simply - and this is aligned with clarity - Value. Your value.?

But it’s more than knowing your value, it’s about HOW to share it with the world.?How to use it to help and serve others. How to use it to build a business.?Your business.

More often than not, knowing how to share your value means you can stop trading time for money and remove the glass ceiling of your earning potential.?And that’s how YOU become even MORE safe and secure by leaving the safety and security

Ironic right.?

When that value is worth more than your regular income that barrier fades away.

Define your value. Share it with the market and see what it’s worth.

The third and final objection, not surprisingly, for me anyway, is consistent with the other two.?

#3 The strong pull of commitments and responsibilities?

Paying the mortgage or rent on the nice house in the suburbs, putting food on the table, providing a high-quality of life for your family - vacations, moments and experiences. Brings a weight of commitment and responsibility with it. So much so you end up putting everything else before YOU.?

Unfortunately, that’s neither sustainable nor healthy. Because you end up missing out and that takes its toll. Eventually.?

Eventually you resent it, eventually it starts eating away at you.

To prevent that, to avoid the unnecessary weight, ask yourself…what are your REAL commitments and responsibilities?

Define them simply and specifically. Not what you think they should be, or what you’re told they are. But what they actually are.

Look at it this way. Is life to be tolerated, to be good enough

OR?

Is it to be happy??Free??To do the things that make you feel alive?

Is it to be a role model, an inspiration for others - your family. To show what’s possible??To live without limits??To live your best life?

To make impact and created meaning?

Once you’ve defined what your commitments and responsibilities are, ask yourself if your 9-5 the only way to achieve it???Is it the best way???

Getting clear on what your commitments actually are will probably surprise you AND open up a world of opportunities.?

^^^ I've covered the 3 biggest barriers stopping people from leaving the 9-5.?Like I said you might not want to, your 9-5 may provide you all you want - and that's fantastic.?

But if you’re not doing what you want, when you want, how you want, and with whom. If you’re not doing it your way, living a life you wouldn’t trade for anything

Take some time to consider what you can do to change that. Start with how:?

?? Your value

?? How to use your value

?? Your true commitments and responsibilities?

Can support your journey to more fun, impact and freedom - and more money too.

I've personally helped >1000 client break free from their 9-5 using this exact approach. I know it works. I've seen it work. And I have no doubt it can also work for you too≥
