The freedom discussed here is a high level of freedom. In some nations, the freedom is more humble to be the "freedom of movement" in term of person and money. Even watching TED in youtube is a privilege but not a necessity! Freedom just like air, when you have it > you don't feel it. Once you miss it, you will instantly feel it. So treasures your freedom By the way, there are external freedom (discussed in this video) and internal freedom (not being discussed in this video > mind) too.

[@kindwaychasing]

I am on the journey of freedom. And my desire for freedom will never shut down.

[@viletruth2707]

So true freedom is forcing another person to be unfree while you have the ultimate freedom

Is it just me who is struck by the countless negative male comments? Especially about the fact that he hired other people to work for her? Does it bother you so much that a woman is free and self-realized professionally?

She is now bound to her new idea of freedom. And it goes on until you run out of ideas. It is so subtle, the actual freedom that only a sensitive mind is capable of understanding. Freedom is nothing most of us 99.9% know of. We think to have freedom is to do what we like. We think to have freedom is to have choices. No. Freedom is choicelessnes. Weird, right? There is only one right action. To have choices is to have confusion and conflicts in the brain. Only a complete silent mind free to observe is capable of observing what is, the fact, and out of that pure observation comes the right action. Attention, your complete attention is what is needed. Attention is like a flame which burns all that is unnecessary. The only action. Its far from an ordinary mind. By ordinary mind I mean a mind which is so conditioned that its not open to accept new ideas. Because whatever we think that its my personal thought of freedom or my own idea of freedom is not your personal. It seems to be so. Its an illusion. All the ideas are borrowed. Look deeply, carefully and observe. The only way out is J Krishnamurthy. And nothing else. 🙏

Natalie is a true professional who has been so consistent in her mission to help others achieve what she has managed to do for herself, which is to run her business while enjoying a location-independent lifestyle. A woman to watch. Well done Natalie! XX

[@jeffreyohler2599]

Jenny Plant I'm sorry but you say that she runs her own business and that gives her freedom. It seems to me that it was because she had other people doing the work for her that allowed her to do what she wanted with her time. So in essence other people are running the business for her. Which is fine and I commend her for her accomplishment. Yet she is telling people that if they do the same then they too can be free as per their own definition of freedom. Sounds nice but in reality not everyone can have freedom following her recommendation as someone has to do the work. If everyone expected others to run their business for them then no work would be getting done and the entire business economy would implode. I'm glad she is gaining recognition though. To which I'm sure being privileged enough to be selected to be a Ted speaker is helping her business nicely as well. Good for her but not everyone can do as she suggests here!

Amazing Ted Talk! Now the challenge is... creating a freedom plan as a millennial who is building up my experience.

This video is definitely an eye opener for me to really invest more time into building my personal freedom plan! Thanks Natalie!

[@tylerdurden4172]

Oh, I can answer that question easily. If I were king of the world, I would immediately demand that we all think about what is needed so that we can make this world a better place. All trivial needs that we might espouse would be non-grata, because our own trivial needs would pale in comparison to what our world needs...for us to survive as a race and as humanity.

I was teary eyed while sharing your life realization when your dad was in the hospital - that FREEDOM is the ability to drop everything in the moment to come halfway around the globe to be with the most important people in our lives, to be with our loved ones. And that Freedom is totally unique to each of us.

And the true meaning of freedom is unique to each of us and how we choose to live and love. It is glorious to see someone who does live with such fullness.

[@jeffreyohler2599]

I'm sorry but what she describes is not freedom. It's individual independence. The only way Freedom can be discussed is when referring to all people. Unless every individual has it then nobody is free. What she describes is having machines(automation) and people doing the work for her so she can do as she pleases with her time! 'Freedom Business' is a contradiction and a falacy of a term.

[@roxannecowlesrosado3449]

Once again, an excellent message that resonates with many who are not only in search of freedom, but what it means to them. The point you made about how one's definition of freedom can change as circumstances do was particularly informative. This is another way to be free-to create a lifestyle which provides the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities, or to adjust a previous notion or decision to fit our current situation.

[@NatalieSisson1]

Thank you so much Roxanne

[@jeffreyohler2599]

Actually that's the problem. People keep trying to redefine what freedom is and that's why humanity hasn't obtained it yet. What she describes is individual independence obtained through automation and other people doing the work for her. She is merely talking about Capitalism masquerading as Freedom!

Do you know the history of a person that has a famous building or boulevard named after her or him? (Likely no).

This is not freedom, it's the choice to abandon responsibility and make others do it for you. Although what she said was influential ultimately its not necessarily being free. Then again freedom is a malleable definition. At least for me, freedom is the abandonment of the chains that bind our minds, body's, and souls. We've been put in this existence for what purpose? Unknown that is, yet we serve others how does that make sense if our purpose was never truly defined. Personally, my definition of freedom is to be anything and everything, no limitations on where,who,what,why, how you are supposed, say, act, and do things.

But,... do you truly have free will? .....Hmmmmm

[@thelonestarpelican9343]

Only to a limited degree, IMO. We can choose to override certain impulses or attitudes we know would hurt others when there's no justification for hurting them? As for freedom, there's also the freedom to commit vandalism and worst - EVERY kind of worse you can imagine, and I mean EVERY. For this reason, I put human dignity above freedom. Freedom's important ONLY to the extent that it isn't used to hurt, harm, or demean the dignity of others outside the scope of defense, retaliation, or punishment (reasonable and proportionate degrees of the latter three, of course). Otherwise we'd have dangerous chaos, not even a society at all.

She is now bound to her new idea of freedom. And it goes on until you run out of ideas. It is so subtle, the actual freedom that only a sensitive mind is capable of understanding. Freedom is nothing most of us 99.9% know of. We think to have freedom is to do what we like. We think to have freedom is to have choices. No. Freedom is choicelessnes. Weird, right? There is only one right action. To have choices is to have confusion and conflicts in the brain. Only a complete silent mind free to observe is capable of observing what is, the fact, and out of that pure observation comes the right action. Attention, your complete attention is what is needed. Attention is like a flame which burns all that is unnecessary. The only action. Its far from an ordinary mind. By ordinary mind I mean a mind which is so conditioned that its not open to accept new ideas. Because whatever we think that its my personal thought of freedom or my own idea of freedom is not your personal. It seems to be so. Its an illusion. All the ideas are borrowed. Look deeply, carefully and observe. The only way out is J Krishnamurthy. And nothing else. 🙏

is it not ironic calling oneself a freedomist when all he or she has done is subject him/herself to another set of rules and regulations, controllable or not.

[@greenvibe3682]

I never felt freedom

[@johnnowakowski4062]

Hope you don't waste too much of your life chasing after "freedom", because when your are 50, alone and burned out you'll find it's too late. Get it our of your system, find a good man, settle down, get married and have a family. Then you'll find true happiness watching your children grow...

[@rosatatuata]

Is it just me who is struck by the countless negative male comments? Especially about the fact that she hired other people to work for her? Does it bother you so much that a woman is free and self-realized professionally?

[@norah4425]

But isn't going getting a bunch of people working in teams... it is true freedom if you're enforcing the same system that was forced onto you? also, where is privilege in the stratosphere of the world? people come from different places, what about those are from third world countries and come from conditions that are limiting, this ted talk although interesting was incredibly problematic in the sense that it reiterates the ideals of those who come from privilege as well as create a false utopia that people mistakenly fall for all the time...

Ahh the ever evolving idea of freedom. It indeed is worth every sacrifice that could be implied. That goal must never be forgot.(*changes subject*) Now ,, let's talk about that very strange thing that is obsessed over and feared simultaneously... Influence!!! The mass understanding that will result in the other. But maybe that's just the Chinese influence talking . Idk anymore. My head hurts .

[@pascalsierens6299]

So you got your freedom on the back of someone else when you hired someone to do all your work... He or she needs to feel unhappy for your hapiness... Not quit an inspiration if you want to sacrifice someone this way

[@stockwellb]

I listened until 9:20 when I figured out that the key to freedom is living off of the margin between the price of your product and the cost of the labor to produce it... How is this inspiring?!

[@squatch545]

So.. become free by getting OTHER people to do your work for you. Another ridiculous TEDx talk.

[@NatalieSisson1]

How about become free by inspiring others to work with you on major projects that you couldn't possibly do by yourself. By employing people who do a better job than you to do important work, and at the same time give them meaning and purpose?! How on earth are you going to make an impact in this world working just by yourself, doing everything yourself and having no time for family, friends, relationships and yourself?

[@squatch545]

Yeah, I'm sure that's how companies like Walmart recruits employees, by "inspiring others" to work with them on "projects" to make Sam Walton obscenely wealthy. It gives those employees "meaning" and "purpose". In other words, work for me, and you will become free by making me rich!

[@NatalieSisson1]

I'm not sure you fully understand the work I do or who I help. If you did you'd not have made this uneducated response. By the way Sam Walton had great ethics and a vision for his company that never included the way Walmart operates now. He'd likely turn in his grave

[@xena9055]

Being a boss does not equal taking away others freedom, you can be whatever kind of boss you want to be.

[@squatch545]

Where did I say that?

[@alphainfinitum3445]

I hope the contractors that you hired to run your business are sending you only rents money for your equipment, if not then you are the perfect example of what is wrong with with the world. The fact that you say it with a smile on your face shows how screwed up your sense of morality is.

[@montey3407]

Why are you breathing so heavy?

[@DrexisEbon]

This video starts with a false assumption: you want to exist.

[@thskendjeo134]

Hahaha, nicely said. But it has got a very deep meaning what you said. Nobody will want to exist if they really look inside. She is now bound to her new idea of freedom.

How did you hire people with nearly $17? Did you live on the street. Such not helpful video

[@jotagalvan]

this so white

[@elchompiras92]

Not wise at all, she just wants money to do stuff but without working

[@SS-yb1qd]

Perfect life would be living in Europe country. As u already live there u have no dream of freedom 🤣

[@grapecanz]

The amount of white privilege in this Ted talk is uncanny. At the very least she uses her money and skills for amusement instead of gaming the system and abusing those less fortunate.

[@NatalieSisson1]

That's quite frankly the most ridiculous take, but it's your opinion. What amusement did you see in me flying home to be with my dying father? Or the fact that I pay my team well, to do a better job than me, working on meaningful projects that help aspiring and established entrepreneurs to create more impact in this world, while freeing up more time to spend quality time with their loved ones?

[@aedaldaniel]

@@NatalieSisson1 I searched how to have true freedom and it’s the 3rd video in a row that I watched and I’m far away from getting my freedom and my thoughts are exactly the same as you I don’t wanna own a house because it holds you back and I wanna travel the world / always on the move and seeing the world and making a living online. And I see nothing wrong with it. Because of you many people are not jobless you’ve created jobs for people. White privileged or not. You have to do something with your life right instead of seeing the negatives for everything. That comment person doesn’t know what he’s talking about
