As I take my 7th grader to school in the morning, I get to see a lot of the other parents dropping off their kids. Many of them are walking a tight time tightrope. They can’t get their kids to school too early because the school policy yet they have a commute that they need to hit the road. Sometimes, they drive like maniacs to pass me before we hit the school zone and even then they push driving 24 mph in a 20.

On top of the morning rush, they spend 1 to 3 hours per day burning money through their engine while they burn their time. Then, they come home tired, eat, watch a little tv then go to bed so they can get up and do it again.

Years ago, I made the commitment to work for myself. Not only do I have extra time that I save on my carpet commute and extra money by not driving, I’m flexible for when my son needs me. If he needs to stay late for band practice, he can call and I’m there in less than 10 minutes. We often go to Sonic after school for chocolate malts and bonding.

If my wife and I worked outside our home, he would have a 45 minute walk each way with a heavy backpack and a trumpet case. He would have to cross two four lane, divided streets and only one of them has a traffic light at his crossing point. Then he would be on his own for a couple of hours until we came home.

Having a home based network marketing business is not all about the money. For a lot of people, like me, it’s what it gets me. I get to be a major influence on how my sons grow up. I get to know who my sons are and guide them to do better. They’re only going to be this young once and then it’s gone.

I get to do things with his activities. I know at his age he wouldn’t admit it, but the way he lights up when I show up, I can tell he’s glad to see me there.

Recently, I went as a chaperone for my son’s choir trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. What made this especially significant for me was that I was the only dad that went. I was able to go because of the freedom I enjoy.

I was able to spend quality time with my oldest son at the “happiest place on Earth.” We created memories that will last a lifetime. He is a junior in high school and in just over a year, will begin his adult life. I think this trip will turn out to be one of the most important things that I did this year.

Other parents expressed their regret at not being able to go, citing work related reasons. Some had been laid off, and some were experiencing work loads that did not allow them to take a few days off.

Being able to share quantity time with my boys allows me to experience tons of those priceless gems of memories with them. They are only young once.

Do you have a plan to get your freedom? Or do you just accept it as that’s just the way it is? A home based network marketing business can give you the lifestyle freedom you deserve.

When most people go to restuarants, they let the right side of the menu determine what they order. In other words, they order what they think they can afford based on the price. They scan the prices on the right side until they find some that are acceptable and then look on the left side to see the description. If they do happen to see an item that they like, they make the final determination with the price.

This is an example of shrinking your dreams to fit your budget.
