“Life is too fantastic not to do what you love and live the life you want right now and every day.”
Welcome to Free Pursuits!
This is a gathering place for dreamers, instigators, revolutionaries, artists and passionate people of all types. We talk here about how to live the life you want to now, without waiting to become rich or retired.
If you want more from life than a typical 9-to-5 and the outdated American dream, I’d love for you to join us.
Why I started this site
I’m Corbett Barr. A few years back, I gave in to that little voice in my head that said “you’ll never really enjoy a ‘normal career,’ why don’t you start working for yourself so you can live how you really want to?”
Since then, I’ve started two successful blogs and one venture-capital backed company, I became a digital nomad, started living in Mexico part-time and took up learning Spanish, sailing and surfing.
I’m able to do this through earning a living online by creating resources that help you build and market a small business based on doing something you love.
None of this is meant to brag, I just want you to understand that a complete change is possible in a relatively short period of time.
I started this site to help you realize what’s possible if you’re willing to open your mind and work for it. The biggest thing keeping you from your dreams is yourself.
If you’re intrigued by all of this, great! Say hello (I always love hearing from readers), and sign up for free updates to stay up-to-date with new posts.
You can also find out more about me in this soul-bearing post, or about how I help people build high-traffic websites and blogs at my other site, Think Traffic.
