Creating lifestyle freedom (which to me means being able to spend time in my passions, as an artist, entrepreneur and a student personal development, particularly in the area of love and relationships), was something I always knew I wanted but didnt really know how to get it. Ive always had a passion for all things music and I remember as a young boy for years there were weekly house parties(my dad is a huge salsa fan, probably why when I hear a rhythm I cant stop from moving, lol). Growing up I had such a variety of genres of music that I listened to that has really influenced a little in different areas of my artistic expression in the are of music. Ive had the good fortune of performing as a dancer on stage with Salsa legends Tony Vega and Charlie Cardona. Ive worked with producers whove worked with artist such as Genuine. Ive been able to find myself in some good positions and have learned many things that have helped me come to understand what being in artist in todays modern world needs. Heres one major thing Ive learned: 1) You only need a certain number of True Fans - and its way less than 1 million. In order to understand this there a a couple numbers you need. The number you want to get at is how much you need to cover all of your living expenses, and live comfortably. Then you calculate how much youll have to sell in order to earn that much a year (think merchandising, hangouts, etc). The resulting number is the number of True Fans (those who will buy everything from you), which allows you to live the lifestyle of your dreams. This allows me the lifestyle freedom of being able to be free artistically and still an a good living. I can remember being an entrepreneur from an early age. I remember that in 6th grade, I had classmates that would bargain different items with me so that I would write a love letter to their crushes ( I cant help but laugh a little every time I think about that, lol). But my first real project I was working on was a music studio/store combination. Unfortunately, I was kind of shooting in the dark because I didnt have a mentor, so I learned 2 very important things: 1) Find a mentor - this is someone who is where you want to be or is on their way to being there. This is someone who gives Advice, Affirmation and challenges you through Accountability. I recommend that you have a mentor for each area of your life; Financial/Business, Love/Relationships, or Artistic Expression (I believe everyone has an art form, even if untapped). 2) Use systems and automate - A mentor of mine Dwayne M. Golden Sr., once said you have to Systemize to Monetize and I repeat the same advice that I learned through coaching programs and mastermind sessions with my mentor. Automate your business or online venture as much as possible, by systemizing as many of the parts as you can. This allows me the lifestyle freedom of time. Earning a great income, but enjoy life through experiences. Im not sure what it was that was in me from such a young age of 16 to want to develop myself and grow. Actually, I believe it was a principle that I learned that truly sparked and continues to feed this passion to grow, and this is it. Whatever is not growing, is dying. That saying struck through every chord my being could resonate with. It started when I realized that regular employment wasnt going to cut it for me and so I needed to find another avenue. I started with the idea of the music store/studio (which maybe Ill still do), to network marketing and all kinds of other avenues. But it wasnt until internet marketing came along (with what I shared in points 1 & 2 above) that I was truly able to set myself up for that Lifestyle Freedom I talked about in the first paragraph. Now, the area in which Ive spent a lot of time growing in is in the area of Business and Entrepreneurship (which includes internet marketing and systems creation). Remember the first area I started growing in and business I thought about creating was a physical music store/studio, and the bargaining my writings of love (lol) to their elementary school crushes for snacks. Youll see entrepreneurship is something thats always been a part of me but its not like a lot of people who are in business just for money. Ive always had a contradictory perspective on sales, marketing and business than about 80% of the world. For me its about providing true value that the client or member is happy with and joyfully exchanges their money for it. This allows me the lifestyle freedom of lifestyle mobility. Living the lifestyle I desire to have, from any location I pick and being able to choose how long to live that lifestyle while having no financial concerns (doesnt just the thought of it put your mind a little at ease :) I like sharing insights and lessons Ive learned and experiences Ive had with the hopes and expectation that itll be useful to you Much Love and Success, Mr Henry Vargas P.S.
