What would you rather?

Someone else's terms could look something like this:

• Being told what to do, and when.
• Being exhausted at the end of the day, with no energy left for those you love most.
• Adhering to someone else's schedule & rules.
• Limitations on the hours you work, and where you work.
• Restrictions on when you get to take holidays.
• No capacity to increase your wage.
• No career progression.
• Saying "I'll do that when I'm retired".
• Denying yourself the opportunity to live an extraordinary life. 

Or would you rather live life on your terms?

That would look more like this...

• Setting your own hours.
• Having the flexibility to watch your child receive an award at assembly in the middle of a working day.
• Having work/life balance, where you don't have to do paperwork after work.
• Having the freedom to take a locum position on a tropical island for a few months - if that's what you want.
• Taking holidays when it suits you.
• Setting your own rules on where, when and how you work.
• Scaling your income without scaling your hours.
• Do the 'retirement' things now, while you are younger.
• Living an extraordinary life.

Living on your terms takes some sacrifice. It's about working hard for a few months to have a lifetime of freedom and flexibility.

It's also about:

• Showing up every day for your business with determination
• Consistently creating content that provides value
• Being vulnerable and authentic in your online presence
• Investing in your personal and professional growth
• Prioritising your time to build and grow your online business
• Learning new skills, ie tech...

Many practitioners and wellness/fitness coaches would say this is hard. But it's not hard when you realise by doing these things, you get to live your life on your terms.

So, would you rather live your life on someone else's terms... being told what to do, and when... Or would you rather tackle your fears head on, put yourself out of your comfort zone, and build a life on your terms?

Now, it's time to reflect on what truly matters to you. What would you rather?
