Today I headed down to the Gold Coast to enjoy a coffee with a friend of mine, Andrew Hansen, the creator of Firepow, a niche blogging software.

We decided to catch up as Andrew and his girlfriend Elysia have decided to leave Sunny Queensland and move to Canada before the end of the year.

As I sat chatting to Andrew I was once again reminded how lucky I am to be able to enjoy this lifestyle, to choose when I work, (or when I don’t) … and how internet marketing has made this all possible.

Now I’m not saying that I only work 4 hours a day, three days a week —far from it — I work hard, really hard and I spend many hours a day in front of my computer.

But… I now have the freedom of choice.

I can decide when I work and am no longer confined to the regulation 9-5 business hours that society expects. I have control over my own success.

I know Andrew certainly makes sure that he enjoys the freedom that successful online internet marketing can provide… he’s enjoyed 9 holidays in the past 12 months! Check out his story here.

I want to wish Andrew and Elysia all the very best for their new life in Canada, and even though I know we will still be in regular contact by email, I’ll look forward to our next coffee when he comes back to pay us a visit here ‘Down Under’.
