It’s been awhile since I wrote on the topic of Time Freedom but the events of the last few weeks have reminded me just how precious Time Freedom really is.
In the early days of my Second Life land business I worked my ass off. I didn’t know what to do, how to do it, when to do it, where to do it, or why to do it, so I ended up working pretty much all day every day. That’s how it goes sometimes when you are in business for yourself, you have to work your ass off. If you are scared of working hard don’t become a Second Life land baron, go do something else instead.
The payoff, however, is so worth it. Here it is nearly 5 years later, and I have a business that spits out cash every month and requires very little direct involvement on my part. Some days I’m in Second Life for an hour, some days several hours, some days not at all. I would never claim to have *everything* about the business figured out, but I’ve learned a few things.
I’ve learned what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and perhaps most important, which of those things need to be done by me, and which I can delegate. I’ve developed good systems, have a great team of people helping me, and an awesome group of loyal customers.
Read my blog, read my book when it comes out, and you’ll discover exactly how I did it. The point of this blog post isn’t to plug my book, but to tell you what can happen with your Second Life land business if you do things the right way.
You’ll be able, over time, to free yourself up from the day to day details of the business. The secret? Yes, there is work that needs to be done, but you don’t have to do it all yourself! Structure your business the right way and you can scale from spending 12 hours a day on your business, to spending 12 hours a week on your business. Your business won’t suffer from this process, in fact it will get better.
The last month was a rough one for us. My wife’s grandmother died, which meant not only did we spend time AFK to visit with her family, but it also meant that while we have been home, we’ve been distracted from the business.
You see, Time Freedom doesn’t only mean that you can go golfing or gardening when you want to. It also means that your business spits out cash in times of crises, when you aren’t working not because you don’t want to, but because you can’t.
Thanks to all my loyal customers, Estate Managers, my wife of course, and to those of you who take the time to read my blog.
Starting, building, and maintaining your Second Life land business takes time, money, energy, patience, and determination, but the payoff – Time Freedom – is priceless!
