Many people work on a full-time job and live a “typical” life. They fantasize about having a large bank account and the luxurious freedom lifestyle that accompanies it, but they take no actionable steps to achieve these goals…

Here’s the thing…

With salary and career growth, you can achieve a comfortable life where money is not always a primary worry.

You could afford to live in a nice house, go on a vacation each year, buy new clothes as needed, and give your children an education.

But truthbomb….to get more than that you need to break out of your comfort zone. The false narratives you learned while growing up won’t serve you any good now.

Instead, focus on what will get you results…and that is being active outside of work to create opportunities for yourself.

Money doesn’t come to those who go the extra mile at work. It comes to those who walk the miles outside of work.…

Working harder will not make you rich

Contrary to popular belief, working hard will not make you rich. In fact, most wealthy people don’t work nearly as hard as the people who make minimum wage.

When I was younger, I thought that getting a 9-5 job and working my way up the corporate ladder was the key to success. I would be making a good salary, have great benefits, and eventually retire with a nice pension.

Boy, was I wrong!

It’s the same story for millions of people. You go to school, get a degree in something that you think will lead to a career, and then you end up working a job that barely pays the bills. You work long hours, have no freedom and flexibility, and all of your hard-earned money goes right back out the door.

But what if there was another way? What if you could work from home, set your own hours, and make more money than you ever thought possible?

What to do instead

I knew that there had to be something better out there for me. So, after much deliberation, I decided to quit my job and become a freelance social media manager.

At first, it was tough going. I struggled to find clients and make enough money to support myself. But eventually, things started to pick up, and I also added coaching and digital products to my offer suite. Then quickly I earned so much more than I did when I was working full-time at my old job.

Not only do you get paid well for your services, but you also get to keep all of your money! And the best part? You can work from anywhere in the world and set your own hours.

It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not. With the rise of social media, more and more businesses are looking for freelance social media managers. This is a great opportunity for anyone with some marketing experience and a willingness to learn new things.

So how do you become a freelance social media manager? It’s actually easier than you think. All you need is some basic training in social media marketing and a willingness to start your own business. From there, it’s up to you to find clients and create a portfolio that will help you stand out from the competition.

If you’re ready to take control of your career and start making real money, then consider becoming a freelance social media manager today. You won’t regret it!

Takeaway

It’s nothing wrong to have an average life and earn an average salary. You can still be incredibly happy even if you just have the bare minimum to get by because money cannot buy happiness.

Having dreams is great, but if you don’t do anything about them, what’s the point? If you want a more free and flexible lifestyle, take steps to make that happen for yourself.

Earn it!

It’s easy to be jealous of others who have achieved what you want, without taking the time to think about how they actually got there.

It is quite common for a wealthy person to have put in many hours of work, taken numerous risks, and dealt with financial and emotional instability for extended periods of time – all while displaying courage and perseverance.

Every decision in life is a tradeoff. You need to be mindful of this when making your choice. One thing always comes at the cost of another. It’s as easy as that.

But I can assure you that if you choose to go with the option of becoming a social media manager the demand for your services is steadily increasing. There is a bright future ahead for you in the world of social media management and marketing.

You just have to be willing to do what it takes to break into this industry and start building your client and offer base. The only way you’ll ever know if it’s right for you is to try, so why not go for it? I am very confident your future will be bright!

So if you are ready to stop dreaming and start doing, I highly recommend that you take the first step and sign up for our Social Media Manager Academy today. You won’t regret it!
