    In other words, “Good luck with that!”

    You can do this AND work half days. Just pick which 12 hours of the day you want to work.

    Well, you could drive a garbage truck. You have to get up early, and the work is physically hard, but once you’re off, there’s no homework. The pay isn’t so hot and you smell bad, but there’s free time.

    If you are looking for an opportunity that you wont really have to put time into, there is no such thing!

    If you are looking to put forth some time, effort with a minimal investment, no selling or inventory then I might be able to point you in the right direction. The effort you put forth now, with provide you with residual income for years and year and years to come.

    Peace, Ame

    Well it depends on what u like to work on when starting a business.If u start a business about something u like doing than things will be easier. Also if u start your own business then your the one in charge u set your own hours and hire your own employers that can work for u so u have more time.

    Entrepreneurism is not a free time type of goal. As a business owner I can tell you that you should expect to spend 70-80 hours per week for the first two to four years. After that, you do certainly have more free time, and you are your own boss, but if you give yourself too many days off, your business will falter.

    It’s a lot of work being an entrepreneur, you have to be motivated and really work at it. Otherwise you won’t have anything left to work for.

    The best way to obtain copious free time is to either become independently wealthy or to work for someone else.

    Independently wealthy can be obtained through work, investment, and passive income.

    Good luck. :)

    “Starting a business” mens you will be “doing” something. It is an active endeavor. This is exactly opposite to “free time,” and “doing nothing.”

    “What to do with my life?” is a question everyone must ask. It may take years for you to discover that “doing nothing” is simply wasting your life. There is no free lunch.

    The Steppenwolf has answered these questions (see Sources) and I’ve drawn them out a little more in my Essay on my web site under “Articles.”

    We are not given the things we need in the world, but all things proceed to their inevitable goal through a web of interrelationships: the Divine Law. The Divine Law is not a set of rules—moral or otherwise—but the understanding of the interrelationships and interdependence between things. The proper presentation of Divine Law is in an exposition of the relationships (complimentary, supplementary, interdependence, etc.) that each thing in the world has with all others, and to the whole.

    Events in our earthly lives exist for the sake of our spiritual development, and our spiritual powers exist for the sake of guaranteeing us success in the world. This is one of the most important expressions of Divine Law.

    Neither does God directly punish (not that he hasn’t, or couldn’t). In all areas of life, to violate Divine Law invokes Divine Justice, which follows the model of a death that follows from ingesting poison.

    The will is by essence Man’s endowment of freedom. This freedom was granted to man to enable him/her to transcend the lower blind impulses in favor of following the Law of God. Be careful not to confuse “acts of will,” when in reality they are often acts born of desire (emotions).

    “As for the way to true manhood, the way to the immortals, he has, it is true, an inkling of it and starts upon it now and then for a few hesitating steps and pays for them with much suffering and many pangs of loneliness. Unwilling to suffer all these sufferings and to die all these deaths, he shuts his eyes. He is resolved to forget that the desperate clinging to the self and the desperate clinging to life are the surest way to eternal death, while the power to die, to strip one’s self naked, and the eternal surrender of one’s self bring immortality with them.”

    The trick is to find a job/profession that doesn’t seem like work so you don’t feel like you’re tied down i.e. figure out what you like doing the most and then see what kinds of job opportunities are in that industry. Start by looking at what you want to do with all your free time. For example, if you like to surf then research what jobs relate to that field—surf board design or manufacturing, surfing retail or wholesale, travel agent specializing in surfing vacations, teaching, etc. If you study and work in an industry that related to your passion in life then it doesn’t seem so much like work.
