Those 6 Free hours,
You must be willing to sacrifice.
Why?
For long term freedom.
Put those 6 hours into building:
- Side Hustles
- Passive Income
- Your own money not someone elses
If you can even reduce your working week down to 17.5 hours.
and spend 3.5 hours a day on..
You must be willing to sacrifice.

If you can even reduce your working week down to 17.5 hours.
and spend 3.5 hours a day on..
- Managing your financials from the side hustles and passive income
- Admin work related to your new found incomes
- Sourcing products and selling if you're a flipper
Then all of a sudden your 1.6% or 5% freedom becomes 21.6% Free.
Some could do this in 1 hour a day. Imagine..
