As you already know being that you are already an adventurer, you have in do doubt have experienced the struggle of trying to find the time out of your busy schedule to pursue your dreams and meaningful experiences.
So, the question remains how does one find his/her freedom
here is my answer:
1. Blogging
Yes, I know what you are most likely thinking... "isn't that hipster crap that never works out for anyone"? or "that's not a real job. If that is what you are you are thinking, then you are both right and wrong. Yes, it is extremely trendy and everyone and there mother has a blog! But here is the deal, rarely does someone actually put in the work and dedication to make a living off blogging. Most people start a blog and then loose interest in less then a year, if you want to be a blogger you need to put in the effort.
Once you have put in the time and done the required work blogging can be extremely beneficial. It can give you a form of semi-passive income and you are your own boss! You can travel and write about it! but it's not for the weak at heart, it takes guts and dedication to get through the hours of work and marketing to get going!
Another thing to thing to consider is, are you skilled enough as writer to do this full time? I ask myself this question every day. Here is what I recommend, go to the thrift store, buy some cheap used college level English books and practice your trade! You can do it, you can be a Blogger!
enough babbling, onto the next option
2. Real estate
yes, real estate. Not the 'Timmy Turner's mom's selling houses' real estate but rather the rent out of real estate. Yes, becoming a glorified land lord, haha "Big tracks land"!
I'm not going to lie to you... this method is a little expensive to start off with. If you are really desiring freedom and have some carpentry skills this could be your method of choice.
One of the best ways to get into renting real estate is to buy a for closure home for say $90K, fix it up, and then rent it out for $500 more then the mortgage.
If you can get 4 properties under you control, that is:
(4 X 5)100 = 2,000 monthly!
or
24K annually
That is more then most young people make!
you can see the earning potential of real estate, the best part is that you don't have to do much of anything other then fix a leaky faucet every once in a while!
3. writing
You my friend could be the next J.K Rowling. But seriously you could spend the next year writing a hit seller or selling crappy off shoot E-books on Amazon but hey I'm not judging, those people are Awesome!
You always see people at Starbucks typing on their laptops, surely you have seen them, these are the writers! Could you imagine this for your life? writing the next hit wonder, best selling, top of the charts book that put hairy potter to shame!
You could write in the back country, pool side, in some cafe' in Paris, or where ever your heart takes you. ultimately the world becomes your office!
And all it take is one hit to make your life wonderful for the rest of your days! the bet part is once it's published, you don't have do touch it again, it's pretty much automatic income at that point!
4.Buy a franchise
Ok, admit it, We have all worked at McDonalds or some other fast food vender before but have you ever asked yourself; "Who actually owns these businesses"? well.... could be anyone, really. Anyone can buy a franchise and after a bit of hard work, set the store up the to automatic.
If you manage become profitable and are able to hire staffing, you could set up managers to handle your business for you, while you go adventure!
Here is a start, I will continue writing on this topic another day.
