Red Room Where the Writers Are

MONEY.jpg

What is your price? To own your day. Really own it. Every waking hour. To not have to cheerlead yourself out the door in the morning and devote your time to a passionless job.

I read an article this week in Zoomer Magazine that reported the following dream as survey respondents' number one goal:
"To be a successful entrepreneur, have more time, travel the world in luxury, be a philanthropist."

It is likely these respondents envision a great deal of freedom in owning a business. The business owners I know are constantly stretched for time. They are saddled with legal issues, employees, government, taxes, suppliers, distributors, deadlines, health insurance issues and so much more. They are anything but free, and worse, have the lives of many hinging on their success.

I think most people who write aspire to own their day.

To write when inspired. Come and go at whim. Live where we want. Not have to report to a boss. Eat when hungry, drink when thirsty and nap when tired.

What's your number? $30,000 a year? $130,000 a year? $330,000 a year?

What can you live without in order to own your day?

I'd love to hear from you!
