PostHeaderIcon Can we achieve both time and financial freedom?

I was having my time surfing the Web when I came across John Chow’s blog.  I’ve heard a lot about this popular blogger’s name and reputation many times over in the past but I never got to visit his site until today.  I used to associate the name John Chow to a busy social life that’s mostly partying, spending huge sums of money for anything money can buy.  I had this impression basing on the fact that this guy is said to be making over $40,000 a month through blogging alone.  So I was surprised when I saw John Chow’s video with his little daughter in the park having a quiet bonding time together. He called it the Dot Com LifestyIe. I was even more surprised to learn that he’s just like any of us, wanting to make money and yet have the time to spend with our family.

The only difference is, he has achieved it — by making money online.

John made a good point when he said that some people are earning a lot of money but they don’t have the time to spend it because they’re always caught up with work.  Some people, on the other hand, have a lot of time but they don’t have any money.  Me, I’m one of those people who long to have both time and financial freedom.  But is it really doable?  Many so-called financial gurus claim that it is.  As per John, he was able to achieve it by making a killing through his blogs.   He said the monetary rewards were just secondary but the ultimate price he gets from blogging is having time freedom — more time to spend with his family by not being tied up at work for 40-60 hours a week.

How happier this world would be if a lot of us can spend more time with the family while earning more at the same time.   The thing is, not everyone can duplicate what John Chow and other high-paying bloggers have achieved.  It’s not as easy as 1-2-3 and it surely needs time and effort to jumpstart your blog until you get lots of quality traffic and backlinks.

But to start with, I’ll be reading John Chow’s free E-Book and learn from it.  You may click on the link as well to get a copy of his E-Book for free.

How about opening our minds first that both time and financial freedom can be achieved?  For starters, We can learn from the man who has done it.  Then maybe we could finally get the Dot Com Lifestyle too in the long run — that’s making money and having more time with the family.  Isn’t that what we all want?
