Today is my 11th wedding anniversary.
We’re now in Wales, staying with my in-laws, after nearly a month in Greece.
That’s 7 weeks away from Dubai — and still getting work done.
It’s not because I’ve built some magical, hands-off business that runs on autopilot.
It doesn’t. It still needs me.
But what I have built is the ability to control my time.
To decide when, how, and where I show up.
And that’s been worth more than any “4-hour workweek” fantasy.
Even yesterday, when I got hit hard by a virus, I didn’t panic.
I didn’t have to beg for a sick day or worry about the roof collapsing while I slept.
And that’s what I want to highlight today:
You don’t need a perfect business.
But you do need one that pays you in more than just income.
One that gives you the ability to spend your time how you choose — with the people you care about, in the places that matter to you.
That’s not just “freedom.”
That’s control. And most business owners don’t have it.
How about you?
If you’re not able to step away — even briefly — without stress or chaos, your business might be too dependent on you.
And that’s not sustainable.
