Feeling Stuck and Getting Free
What does waking up on a Monday morning feel like for you? (Did the question alone cause a bad feeling?) Did you feel full of life and excited for the day and week? No? Why not?

I always wake up early on Mondays, get to the gym early, stop for coffee and at my desk before 6am. I don’t ever have a day that feels like work!
Fridays are my hard day because the people I would do business with take the weekend off, but Mondays I get back to growing my empire and doing what I love doing. The difference between my Monday and your Monday may be having the freedom to use my skills how I want, when I want and grow something that fits my vision. My Monday may be better than your vacation. I got there via business ownership and franchising. Once you control your cash flow you can have the freedom to make all the other decisions in your life independent of how you will pay your bills. Want to spend more time with family? Be at your children’s school and sports events? Go on an actual date with your spouse?
