Not your typical work week.

Most countries have adopted a work week as 5 days, or 37 to 40 hours. For the employed this makes for a great way of living; a division of labor and leisure.

However for freelancers and business owners, 40 hours a week is not enough. This is especially true for those who are transitioning from an employed life to full time independence.

The Art of Transitioning

The “Art of Transitioning” is investing vast amounts of time and energy. The more you put in the faster you get to independence. This is a mixture of labor and leisure that is deeply intertwined and ingrained.

It is important that you do what you love; otherwise you’ll get lost transitioning.
