These “Delusions” are no more evident than in the small business failure rate. The thoughts of freedom, control, and money push someone to start pursuing their passion only to lead them down a path of disappointment and failure. I don’t mean to be pessimistic, just realistic which is why I appreciate you taking the time to spell this out for everyone. Everyone, heed Jonathans advice!

A lot of first-timers don't really view their business as an actual business. It'll always be about the reader and the hardest thing for a marketer to accomplish is learning how to leverage themselves to benefit and serve others, not the other way around.

One of the reasons I left my old high-paying corporate job was for Freedom to travel anytime I'd like. I am so glad to no longer be a cubicle drone! I travel anytime I'd like, sometimes we go overseas for 2 months at a time, and my husband and I spend quality time with our son and surf anytime we'd like. Sure, we work hard at times, but we set our own hours and have complete freedom. We aren't wealthy, but we do quite well and our lives are as rich as can be. I guess it sounds like I'm bragging, but really I just want to inspire others to know that they CAN live the way they want. It's lifestyle by design. You just have to give up some old programming in the brain to be able to make it happen.
