Entrepreneurs & Long Weekends

Entrepreneurs & Long Weekends go hand in hand. Most of us become entrepreneurs for exactly that type of freedom!
Do you believe it's possible to have a long weekend - EVERY weekend of the year?

Today I was at the fitness club and the instructor of my class said "I hope everyone had a great long weekend...I think every weekend should be a long weekend". Most of the class moaned and wished it could be....and at that moment I realized that I had what most people wish for. I have a 3 day weekend EVERY weekend! I work Mon-Thurs and take off Fri, Sat & Sun every single week. AND, I spend every work day sitting in my backyard on a lawnchair beside my pool, with a headset and a laptop working my business a few hours a day.

Being an entrepreneur is what has allowed me to do that! Taking a stand for what I really wanted in my life and then going out and finding it, without compromising what I was looking for. Am I lucky? Yes and no. I knew what I wanted and I went out and found it....successful people understand they create their own luck!

Some entrepreneur opportunities do not allow you to set a schedule like this....some businesses require working long hours, always being present in the business. Many take years to build, and require that you really put your life on hold and focus only on the business.

In Canada, we have several long weekend during our summer months, one in each of the months of May, July, August and Sept, then another one in October....people that work regular jobs live for these long weekends, it is often the "reward" of getting from one month to another in the job they hate.

If you are that person that is just getting from month to month "waiting" for that next long weekend - DO something about it....stop accepting this as a "normal" way to live life. Realize that there are ways to become an entrepreneur and start living your life with the personal and financial freedom that you deserve. You simply have to let go of your present way of thinking, open your mind and know what you are looking for.

-make a list of all the things you would like (ie - shorter hrs, more holidays, increase income, more time with family, no commute, shorter work week)

-identify all the things you don't want (limit on holidays, long work hrs, negative co-workers, no opportunity for growth, etc.)

Start your search with these factors in mind. When you have clarity on what you would like, and are open to finding it, opportunities will come your way, often when you least expect it. Follow the inspired ideas you get, stop holding yourself back living in fear, and start creating the life you truly want to be living.
