What Is Autonomy?

Are you familiar with the word Autonomy (au·ton·o·my)?  It means -  freedom from external control or influence; independence.  Simply put - FREEDOM!

I spoke about this in Episode 3 | Find Your Freedom!

For the last month - I've had the worst bug I've experienced in my 53 years on this planet!  Yesterday was the first time I've felt even remotely good - and last night was the first time I was able to sleep in my bed.  I've been in a hospital bed and/or recliner for the last 4 weeks straight!

I don't bring this up for you to feel bad for me - but instead to illustrate a point.  If you work in a traditional job - you probably get around 5 days of Sick Time and 1-3 weeks of Vacation Time.  Once you've burned through your Sick Days - you almost always have to dip into either Vacation Days and/or Short-Term Disability (If your company even offers it).  With this last run of whatever it is I had - I would have exhausted EVERY day possible and then some.  And being gone from any position for 4 weeks is a risky one. 

But working for yourself and having the before mentioned freedom - allows you to make your own hours, your own Sick Days, and your own Vacation Days.  It doesn't rely on seniority, time on the job, and/or position within the company.

Of course, there's a Yin and Yang to everything.  Being in charge of yourself is great - but can also be crippling!  If you know how to manage your time and priorities - it's great!  If you don't - you won't be doing it long.

Even though I couldn't talk a good portion of the time I was sick - I still made it down to my War Room to do what I was supposed to do.  Where I needed to talk - I tried my hand at AI (Artificial Intelligence) and utilized a voiceover to read my scripts.  And although it was extremely difficult on me some of the time - I made Social Media Posts up in advance and utilized Social Posting Software to drip the content out.  Nobody heard me moaning and groaning, coughing up a lung, and blowing my nose like it was my job.  I knew regardless of how I felt - the trains still needed to stay on time.

I mention all this to drive home a point.  Seek out freedom!  You may have to start off slow and build up to doing it full-time - but that's OK.  Get your side hustle on and move from sometime to part-time to full-time!  You'll thank me!


Have a DYNAMITE 🧨 day!
