There seems to be some confusion as to what constitutes real lifestyle freedom.
In fact, I would go so far to say that some folk are positively delusional about the lifestyle they have. This kills peoples chances of achieving their dream lifestyle and real freedom.
Is the dynamic between your home business and school holidays exactly as you would like it to be? (and I mean your absolute ideal)
Do you believe it is possible to work only when you want to during school holidays without your business suffering?
These are important questions to consider if you want to create your ideal lifestyle.

There is one question that, if you asked it, you can pretty much guarantee the answer. It is this:
What is most important to you, your business or your kids?
Do you feel that your business is sucking the life out of you? If so, what you have on your hands is the business equivalent of a vampire.
