Have you ever taken a vacation and not truly unplugged from your business?

You know what I mean. As entrepreneurs and freelancers, we will justify it by overusing the word “hustle”. Or we’ll toss in some phrase about “sleeping when we’re dead”.

Feel me?

I used to be that way. I’d bust my hump 24/7, and then when it was time for vacation, I’d be sure to pack my Mac and my charger. You know, because being able to work by the beach was a dream of freelance writers.

Am I right?

It’s supposedly all in the name of creating a 6-figure business. Hitting that 7-figure mark. Make money while you sleep 24/7/365.

Numbers.

Stupid, arbitrary numbers.

Now before I go on, it’s kinda important to say that I’ve hit all those metrics. I did the 6-figure thing. My company made well over 7-figures. And yes, we do have. Passive income that generates money while we sleep.

But it wasn’t hustling, lack of sleep, or working from the beach that drove those successes.
