Yesterday I went to Old Trafford to watch Manchester United play Bolton. I’ve been to most games since I was 9 back in 1989, and I’ve held a season ticket since 1991.
Out of all of the things I do for fun, I enjoy nothing more than a trip to the match to watch my team play. I used to go with my grandad when I was a child, and now I go with an old friend from school.
It’s the little things like going to the football that make me really appreciate the lifestyle that my Internet business allows me.
Yesterday I was able to open up my mentoring program, and then leave the logistics to my shopping cart to shut down the orders if they exceeded the 9 slots available.
I was able to send an email, and then go to the pub for our pre match pint, and I really didn’t have a care in the world.
While my friend was dressed in suit and tie, and was feeling flustered from a hard day at the office and rush hour traffic, I was calm and collected and looking just a little bit scruffy!
The Internet has allowed me to live a lifestyle I never thought possible. I wake up when I want. I work when I want. And I go to the pub for pre match pints when I want too.
The reason I bring this up is because in previous jobs I’ve often not been able to even get to the night matches, let alone go to the pub at 4pm for a football chat and a cold beer.
Is what I do always this easy? Cripes no!
I’ve worked harder than ever, but the rewards really do make it all worthwhile. While I was enjoying my beer yesterday I couldn’t help notice the office workers rushing past the window.
I sat there for 3 hours while we drank beer and chatted football, and I don’t think I saw one happy person go by.
One thing that I’ve discovered in my life is that money doesn’t bring happiness for the majority of people. Freedom does.
Freedom is true happiness, and maybe that’s why so many people who feel chained to their jobs are so miserable for a large part of their lives?
I’ve been stuck in jobs where I felt that I’d be there forever with no escape possible. Sat watching the clock day after day, and dreaming of something better.
Am I free now? Not quite, and if I left for some tropical island tomorrow it wouldn’t be long before the wheels of my business fell off and the walls came crashing down.
This is something I’m working on.
I might not be truly free, but I have more freedom that I ever dreamt possible. Anyone can achieve the same if they’re prepared to work hard, and follow their heart.
We live in special times, and the Internet has made things possible that would have sounded surreal if they’d be mentioned 20 years ago.
These changes have meant that freedom is in everyone’s grasp. If they want it badly enough. How free are you?

Did Manchester United win then?
I’ll get to the same stage as you soon I hope! I’d like to live that kind of lifestyle, were you can pretty much do whatever you like.
Thanks

Hi Lee,
Surely you are more free than me now. Me still working full time as an Master Data Administrator and looking forward to working full time as an Internet Marketer like you.
Life like yours is what I am aiming for right now. Will get there soon!
Inspiring post ! When I’m struggling this is the perfect psychological boost I need. To Remind me that it’s not impossible.
Thanks for sharing.
P.S. This is actually my first comment on your site. I a bit www.lee-mcintyre.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif
. I almost feel like a stalker because I’ve been following you for a while and have not introduced myself, reading all your excellent ebooks, watched all your videos.
So this is my sort of Hello and Thanks.
Hi Mark – yes it was a nice victory (not as nice as the victory over Liverpool will be tomorrow though!)
Hi John – keep pushing and keep focussed on the live you want. I find that when you have your goals clearly defined, it becomes easier to find the strength to do what is needed to achieve them.
Hi Miltski – Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the compliments, and I’m glad you like my content. Pleased to meet you!
Thanks for the comments everyone.

I guess you’ll be off to watch the match tomorrow too then?
What’s the score going to be then, if it’ll be a ‘victory’ over Liverpool? I’ve got a couple of friends that I can really wind up when Liverpool loses!
Thanks
Mark
