Aspiration Pursuits Newsletter #001 Welcome! (Today Let’s Celebrate Living a Freedom Lifestyle as an Entrepreneur!)

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Aspiration Pursuits Newsletter!

If you’re reading this, you’re among the first founding members to this Insiders’ List, and I am SO grateful you’ve chosen to give me these moments of your attention.

It is my intention to continuously evolve this newsletter so that it will be exceptional and worthwhile – so please hit “reply” any time, and let me know the ways that you see I can make it more outstanding.

Going forward, you can expect a new issue delivered to you digitally in the first week of every month. In each issue, I will share some of my own latest reflections to support your growth and self-actualization as an entrepreneur in the high-end / luxury sector. I will also be curating strategies and insights from other experts around the topics of:

• Wealth

• Impact

• Freedom

(AND - to show my appreciation to you for being here from the start – there will be BONUS issues this first month! Hope you’re ready for an abundant July.)

Celebrating Freedom as an Entrepreneur

I became an entrepreneur because I wanted NO ceiling on how much wealth I can generate / how much positive impact I can create for the world.

I also wanted a lifestyle full of ALL the freedoms.

(Interestingly, my best clients also have their own unique goals of wealth, impact, and freedom…)

There are multiple kinds of freedom, and I want them all:

• Financial Freedom

• Time Freedom

• Location Freedom

• Psychological Freedom

• Political / Economic Freedom

Independence Day here in the US is a sacred, holy day for me. Each year, I reflect on the courage and achievement of the founders to create a country like none that had ever existed. They had a vision that went beyond tribalism to recognize there are rights universal to each of us given our nature as individual humans: life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness.

(It certainly wasn’t perfect or universally applied at the start. As I see it, the US has yet to come close to actualizing the full potential of its founding vision. But all human achievements start with a kernel of truth + unique value and evolve over time). I’m raising my glass today to moving forward toward greater political / economic freedom!

For me, becoming an entrepreneur and supporting other entrepreneurs to create success has been and is one of the most important ways I express gratitude for the founders’ accomplishment and carry the torch for freedom. So, it felt fitting to start this newsletter on July 4.

Entrepreneurship – especially entrepreneurship that starts with building a high-end brand – is the best way I know to ultimately pursue all of the freedoms:

• To be a successful entrepreneur requires you to work on your mindset and personal growth – so you end up developing psychological freedom.

• Building a high-end / luxury brand requires you to master the principles underlying wealth creation and abundance as well as positions you to generate significant revenue – so you can develop financial freedom.

• Entrepreneurship allows you to create your work around your schedule (especially when you master simplification, elimination, automation, and delegation) – so you can enjoy time freedom.

• Entrepreneurship that leverages the power of the internet allows you to #workfromwherever (as long as there’s decent WiFi!) – so you get to enjoy location freedom.

If you’re grateful for any of these freedoms in your entrepreneur life, I hope you will take a moment and celebrate Independence Day with me - wherever you are in the world today!
