F the Lines Manifesto: Stop Chasing the A Life and Start a Freedom Business

Act I: Quitting

Today, You will walk into an office for the last time.

You will fill out your last timesheet.

You will attend your last meeting.

You will clear the piles of papers from your desk, drink your last cup of stale coffee, and buy a one-way train ticket back to your tiny apartment.

Your tiny apartment now feels very large.

Act II: Starting

You are hot on the trail of a new skill.

You beat your alarm clock to the punch.

You work ten hours a day. Twelve. Sixteen.

Any number but eight.

Because you’ve tasted freedom.

Because you know that if you can just become a master at this skill, clients will fall like rain.

Act III: Crashing

They don’t.

In fact, no one cares about your amazing new skill.

No one even knows you exist.

So you decide to move back home and save some money.
