You start out by asking:

“What type of life do I want?”

And from there, you then ask: what type of job would best facilitate that lifestyle?

If you want to spend more time with family, if you want to work while travelling the world, if you want to have a career that you find fascinating and that you're proud of… then often the first step to achieving the right lifestyle will be starting to work for yourself and online/from home.

Next you have to ask whether you want to be a busy 'high flier' or whether you'd be happier as someone whose career was 'light', flexible and would largely run itself a lot of the time.

If you want to take it even further in the other direction and live the most relaxed lifestyle possible, then ideally you want some kind of passive income – meaning that you generate money while you sleep. This might mean selling a digital product or it might mean hiring a manager to run the day-to-day elements of your business. Either way, a business that 'runs itself' allows you to live the life you want and to reap the rewards for your hard work later on.
