At past you had stable job, nomatter where, every morning you had to go to work, from day to day, from month to month, from year to year. First time you wanted to be the best worker, was trying hard, but later on noticed that actually nobody appesiates it and you don't sea result of your pains. You got nothing during these years, just was wasting your time and nurvs. And you decided that smth wrong, it can't be in such a way. You want to gain something bigger in this life. Right! Than you can follow reading. I share your opinion. If you think human beeng can't change his life, so you may not to follow, I'm not gonna make somebody change his mind.
So you started to search how to change your life. There are plenty of varians how to do that. Work with flexibile hours, own business, nomatter what field, the man idea you shall manage your time yourself now and make decisions yourself. That's we will talk about.
I'm not businessman, so i won't talk about people management. I'll describe how to manage yourself according to my own experience.
From one point of view. You are free, you have nobody above you. When you have inspiration you are working, when you dont want to work you are relaxing. You can work on weekend if you want, or you can make holidays to yourself. There is no need for somebodies permission. Is that we call hapiness?
When at last you got your long-expected freedom, but you are a bit confused what to do in the sequel. This is other side of coin. You face to face with other enemies: laziness, leak of desire, absence of fear of boss, indecision . It seemed to you that you are independent and resolute and will manage all the difficulties. You was criticizing your boss, was thinking you can do everything better. But suddenly when you faced to freedom you felt fear. Started to hesited about your decisions, maybe they won't work. What will you do it such a way? Now you don't have your small but stable salary. But now you have no choice, you have already choosen your way.
The main idea is not to fear and become boss to yourself.
It's nessisary to orgnize your own schedule. You can say that there is no need for you to schedule, and you fed up with it. But...if you want to be a success, you have to make a plan. You have to schedule every day. It can be quite flexible, but still it should exist.
You shold know every morning what you will do during a day. And every evening excactly know what have you done during the day.
Good luck.
