How To Create Freedom In Your Life | The Mindset Mentor Podcast

Welcome to today's episode of the Mindset Mentor Podcast. I am your host, Rob Dial. Today we're going to be talking about how to create ultimate freedom in your life. For those of you that might work for a company or you might have your own company, how do we create more freedom? How do you break free from the rat race? How do you leave your 9 to 5? How do you do something that truly fulfills you? We're going to talk about how to create the ultimate freedom that you want in your life. And we're gonna talk about how to break free from the system, break free from the normal life, break free from the rat race. And you gotta start thinking outside of the box and start questioning everything. You know, if you look at everything the way that society is set up, I would recommend questioning all of it. One day I realized that society was set up by a bunch of people that were no smarter than I was, but I was just following along blindly. And two days ago, my chiropractor was at my house and we were talking how he went to college. And, you know, he had to go to college and then he had to go to school to be a chiropractor, all this stuff. And he said to me, he goes, well, you got lucky because you just dodged all of it. And I was like, yeah, I did get lucky. I was lucky, though, because my mom never set up scholarships for me. She never said, hey, listen, I'm going to pay for all of your college. She never said, hey, I'm going to set up all of your loans. She said, hey, do it all on your own. If you need loans, go get your loans. If you need scholarships, go get your scholarship. If you need to pay for it, pay for it. Which to some of you, as we might be like, oh, my gosh. Well, she didn't help you at all. Well, maybe you could look at it that way, or another way you could look at it is that she gave me full reins of what I wanted to do with my life very early on. And for me, I started looking at how much money I was paying out of pocket for school and applying for Fannie Mae and all of this stuff. And I was like, this doesn't equate. Like, this doesn't make any sense. I'm adding up. I'm a numbers person, so I'm adding up how much college is gonna cost me. I'm finding how much money I'm gonna be making directly out of college, and I'm like, I might never pay these off. And so I got Lucky in the fact that I had to do this all on my own. And I became very aware a couple years in of, like, yep, this isn't for me. This isn't what I wanna do. And if I get a job, I have to work for someone else. And, like, Monday through Friday and like, 9 to 5 and all that stuff. And so when you look at the rat race, as it's called, you look at the Monday through Friday, you look at 9 to 5. Have you ever just sat back and asked yourself, where did that come from? Have you ever thought that to yourself, where did the 9 to 5 come from? Most people don't realize it actually came from and was developed by Henry Ford, Henry Ford, who created Ford and wanted a whole bunch of really good workers, really good people to work in his factories. And what happened was he developed a system with the educational base of, like, people. People should be working 9 to 5. They should be working Monday through Friday. And what happened was he created a system. He helped the school system create a system to create really good workers, which is fine if you want to be a worker, but if you're listening to this podcast, you probably listen to this podcast because you feel like there's something else more for you out there. And so what do we do? We just go for it. We just go, okay, I'll just do this thing. And I did this thing for a few years, and I was like, this isn't for me. This isn't what I want to do. You know, if you go to work for someone else and you work for somebody, just take a Tuesday off one time. Like, take a Tuesday off and go to a park. Go to your most popular park that's in your city. Go to Whole Foods, go to the grocery store. There's people everywhere. And I remember my last job that I had before I left. I remember I had to go to. I had to take the day off because I had to, first off, go to my physical therapist. And then after my physical therapist, I had to go and go to the dentist. And I remember driving around and seeing people everywhere and thinking to myself, what the hell do these people do? Like, somehow these people are paying their bills. What do they do to make money? How do they make money? And the thing that's beautiful about living right now in this moment of listening to this podcast is there's ways to make money all around you. So if the thing that's holding you back from leaving the rat race is that you have bills to pay, you have a mortgage, you have a family to pay for. I completely understand it. I'm not saying that you can just leave today and be completely fine. But what I'm saying is, see, if there were some mistresses of ways to make money out there. Is there a way? I always say, if you start looking online, of ways to make money. There's a million ways to make a million dollars. And even if you don't make them, can figure out a way to make $60,000 and still be able to pay your bills and live an amazing life, relationship, whatever it might be. And locking down and disappearing for a year can do for your future. If you're young, if you're under 35 years old, disappear for a complete year. Like, just go off the map, right? Just completely disappear. If you don't have a family, if you don't have a relationship that you're in, just disappear, man. Like, just tell all your friends, you know, I'll see you once a month, whatever it is. But I'm off the radar. I'm working on me. I'm working on myself. I'm working on my future. I'm working on being more disciplined and structured so that I can have ultimate freedom later on in life. Now, some of you guys have a family. You can still disappear with a family. I'm not saying disappear from your family, okay? I know some of you guys are like, I wish I could disappear. My kids are crazy, right? I'm not saying disappear from your family. I'm saying find one thing that you want to do, like a business or a skill, whatever it is, and dedicate yourself to it. If you have a family, disappear from everybody but them. Don't leave your kids alone to provide for themselves, but disappear from everything else. If you have a wife and two kids, put every ounce of energy into them. And then when you're not around them, when they're at school, when they're at work, put every ounce of energy into growing yourself. It will create more freedom for you and for them later on in life. You know, what if your kid does decide that they want to be a scientist and they get into MIT or something like that, Harvard. And you can't pay for it. There's no freedom in that. We're restricted. I'm sorry, you can't go to that school. You can't do that thing. Oh, you know, it'd be really nice for us to go on a family trip. So instead of looking at pictures of the Coliseum, we could go and actually look at it, Go to Rome and see it in person. But we don't have the money to do so. Right. And I understand, and I say this all the time because so many people are like, but I have a kids, I have mortgage, I have a wife, I have all this stuff. I understand where you're at. It doesn't mean that you can't make a transition plan. It doesn't mean that you can't say, in two years, by this date, I will be making the exact same amount, same amount of money in my side business as I am my current work, the company that I work for, and I will transition out of it. Right. Dedicate your non work, your non family hours to creating something, to mastering a skill. Look for mentors, find other people that can help you. Find something to master in your life. Find something to dedicate your life to. You know, you have your family, dedicate your life to them, of course, but find something to master in your life. Find something that you could fall in love with, that you could be obsessed with. Been reading this book recently on Leonardo da Vinci. And if you know about Leonardo da Vinci, he's a. I mean, he was an amazing artist. He could draw really well, he could paint, he could create sculptures. But he was also a guy who, you know, he was. He has the first drawings of someone who created a helicopter. You know, he never brought it to life because they didn't have the technology back then. But he, you know, actually made something like that. He would go in and he would buy birds and he would look at their wings so that he can make the perfect drawing of what angels will look like. And what you look at as somebody who has just mastered themselves. They've mastered themselves. They've mastered a craft and they fell in love with it. Now, for me, I'm a shit painter, so I'm not going to try to paint. But, like, for me, I love figuring people out. I love creating this podcast. I love doing. I found like my little pocket of the world and I'm freaking obsessed with it. And I love it with like every ounce of energy and actually gives me more energy to do this. There's something out there for you that you could dedicate your life to that you could absolutely love and you could try to become more creative and see what it is. Dedicate yourself to it. If you don't have a family and you're single, disappear. If you don't have a family and you're single, disappear. If you have a family and you're not single, disappear from everybody but them and work on yourself. Work on your craft. Create a transition plan and you'll realize that leaving the nine to five and getting out of the rat race is easier than you thought it would be. You've just been building up in your mind to think that it's worse than you thought. So go out and do it. That's what I got for you for today's episode.
