Freelance Family Man

In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss what a core belief system is, and why it’s so important. I’ll also tell you how you can develop your own core belief system, and why it’s key to establishing your home.

I believe that your home determines your business’s success. But without core beliefs, your home can’t be strong, therefore your business struggles. It all starts with the home, but the home starts with your core belief system. Let's figure out how to strengthen your core beliefs and really build your business.

In this bonus episode, I talk further about the benefits of successfully getting the dadpreneur thing down. While there are tons of challenges that surround parenting while starting your own at-home business, there are way more positives to it.

The important part here is to not get discouraged. Getting to see your partner more and share responsibilities, while providing income and growing your business is spectacular. You really couldn't ask for a better life. Here, I'll tell you about some major benefits to this kind of life, and how you can get there and maintain it.

You’ll also get some insight on how much better life is once you get your process down and really settle into being a confident dadprenuer. There’s nothing better than being home with your family, especially during your kid’s first steps. Those are the kinds of moments that many parents miss, but if you follow my tips throughout this podcast, you won’t have to be one of them.

Hey, everyone. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the free-market economy. We’ll break down some stereotypes about capitalism and how it relates to being self-employed.

We don’t take sides here in terms of party politics. Instead, we look at principles that are important for you to know as freelancers. Don’t come to this with bias or through the lens of a two-party system. Today’s conversation is centered on growing your business and taking control of your own destiny. Try to approach it with an open mind.

In today’s episode, my wife, Tira is my special guest. We’re here to talk to you about the family and being homebodies. But this episode is unique in that you’ll be getting my wife’s perspective first-hand. There are a lot of things that I just can’t really talk about, but she can express from experience.

Here, she’ll talk to you about the stereotypes surrounding homemaking, how she came to terms with realizing that being a stay-at-home mom is the most important job she’ll ever have, and much more. We’re excited to give you an inside perspective from both parents: the stay-at-home mom, and the work-at-home dad.

In this conversation we explore how your family life affects your business success. When the family is functioning, your career and business progresses faster and easier. We discuss how the pandemic provided a wake-up call for all families who weren't used to being together every day, all day and why it's important to make it a top priority to work on your family business. 

In this early morning chat, we discuss the definition of the home, why it's important and how to make it the center of your life. Your home life affects your business and career whether you like it or not. Everything orbits around your home. Get your home in order and your business and career will take off. 

I discuss the future of the workplace, how it is time for a shift to the 20-hour work week for not only contractors but employees. When you have more work-life balance, you are more productive and focused and achieve tasks much quicker. Businesses will not fail if their employees are working less... the opposite will happen. 

In this short video, in between full episodes of Go Back To Bed, I discuss whether working 20 hours per week means you're lazy. Is it fair? Are you watching Netflix the other 140 hours?

NO. I'm still working, but I'm working for my kids, my wife, my house, my community and other projects that matter. Don't compare your work schedule to other people and think it's unfair. They can work 20 hours per week too, if they want. You are giving yourself more time to contribute to society in other ways. Never feel guilt about that. 

This morning, I tell you exactly how I got my work schedule down to 20 hours per week, while still earning a full-time income. True work-life balance is important and possible. Yes, you must be self-employed and be willing to start a service-based business. 

In this episode, I tell you my story of how I went from broke freelancer to successful business owner, working only 20 hours per week (from home), and earning over 6-figures. 

In this first episode, I explain each part of the show trailer introduction so you can understand what this show is really about and whether it's a conversation you want to be a part of.
