The first step: Start with the end in mind.

Most people dream of “financial freedom.”
Few ever define it clearly enough to reach it.

Let’s make it concrete — and personal.

1. Define Your Ideal Month

Don’t start with income goals. Start with lifestyle design.

Ask: What would a great month actually look like for me?

Prompt:
Week 1: ____________________________
Week 2: ____________________________
Week 3: ____________________________
Week 4: ____________________________

Example:
Week 1: Start a new project. Help people.
Week 2: Deepen another project. Create impact.
Week 3: Wrap up and reflect.
Week 4: Explore a new city. Recharge.

No burnout. No chaos. Just flow.

2. Calculate the Real Cost of That Life

Now put numbers to it.
You can’t buy freedom if you don’t know the price tag.

Prompt:

  • Food: €_____ /month

  • Services (electricity, internet, subscriptions, etc.): €_____ /month

  • Housing: €_____ /month

  • Travel or Leisure: €_____ /month

  • Other (insurance, savings, etc.): €_____ /month

Example Breakdown:

  • Food — €304/month

  • Services — €175/month

  • Travel (1 week/month) — €1,000/month

→ Total: ~€1,500/month

Your total might be higher or lower — what matters is clarity.
Freedom starts when you know your number.

3. Design Income That Arrives Without You

The goal: cover your Ideal Month Cost without trading your time for every euro.

You can do many things but here are two main ways:

Example 1 — Service

Offer something valuable on a monthly basis.

Prompt:
Service: ____________________________
Monthly Fee: €_____
Clients Needed: _____

Example:
3 clients × €500/month = €1,500/month.

Example 2 — Product

Create once, sell many times.

Prompt:
Product: ____________________________
Price: €_____
Sales Target: _____ per month

Example:
Sell a €50 product to 30 customers/month → €1,500/month.
(With 1% conversion rate → need ~3,000 visitors/month.)

Both models work. Pick one and commit.

4. Turn Vision Into Plan

Now, pull it together:

Your Freedom Equation

Monthly Cost: €_____
Monthly Income: €_____
Path:
[ ] Service-based
[ ] Product-based
[ ] Hybrid
Freedom Date (goal): ___________

Final Thought

Financial freedom isn’t magic. It’s a math problem.

When you know what life you want, what it costs, and how to fund it —you’re already halfway free.

You don’t need to escape work. You just need to design work that funds your ideal life.
