Have you ever wondered what freedom “tastes like?” You read all of these stories online that talk about becoming a digital nomad, saying by to “the man” and striking it out on your own? I thought that now would be a great time to talk about what taking the leap really feels like until you start making “real” money. Currently, I’m at a moment now where I can tell that my preferred income (passive) will begin growing nicely and I’ve been thinking about the journey to get to this point. It has been hard. And, I think that a lot of entrepreneurs gloss over the hard moments because the good times can be so.damn.good. I drop a lot of painful truth in this episode and ultimately you’ll discover that the road to entrepreneurship is bumpy until it smoothes out.
