Joy in the Mundane

The other day I started an exciting task:

The process of backing up all of my GoPro images and videos on the ICloud Drive.

Thank you the Lord I have already have my content files on the iCloud.

As I was doing this mundane task, I had a thought.

I would rather do a mundane task for my hobby or side hustle than for corporate America.

File management for my blog and content is not fun but it is rewarding.  It is contributing to building a foundation.  A foundation of freedom.

No matter what company you work for, big or small, you are replaceable.  All that hard work you put in, is for someone else's vision.  

This makes leadership that much more important.  How you treat people makes a difference.

Some companies, look at their people as robots or numbers.  Sure, they say they value you.  They throw vacation time, merit raises, and bonuses in the pot. You name a benefit, they have it.  It is the corporate trap.  At the end of the day, they will and can replace you.

Other companies truly value their people.  They see them as their heart and soul of the organization.  People are their most valuable asset.  Without people, they wouldn't be in business.

A lot of us work for a company that does not value people.  Learn and grow as much as you can, and start your own brand to love people.  

Remember that if you don't build your vision, someone else will hire you to help build theirs.

Be that leader that makes people want to be a part of your vision for reasons other than employee benefits.

Build your own vision and take joy in the mundane tasks in the process.

LIVE LIFE OUTSIDE THE BOX

SQUAD

I dream of a day when no person or corporation dictates my schedule.

On a Monday,I want to wake up early, exercise, spend time in God's Word and know that if I choose spend the entire day with my family I have full freedom to do that.

But to have that freedom, it takes more work and commitment than any company would ever require.

It takes discipline of time and true diligence to build financial freedom.

If you are like me, you want freedom from Corporate America.

Entrepreneurship creates Financial Freedom, Wealth, creativity, etc, but the most important thing that it creates is freedom.

It creates the freedom to plan work around your family.

To me, besides living for God, building relationships is the most important thing on this planet.

The first two people in my life are my wife and daughter.  

Sometimes work gets in the way of spending quality time with them.

Entrepreneurship takes a lot of work, but it also creates freedom to choose how you work.

I want the freedom to work around my family.  My squad.

My daughter is two years old.  I am going to blink, and she'll be 18.

I want her growing up seeing Dad build a foundation that she can incorporate into her family one day.  

Create freedom for your SQUAD.
