Welcome to My 9 To Free: The Journey Begins
Hey there, I’m James, and welcome to My 9 To Free! This is the start of an exciting adventure where I share my journey to financial freedom and help you discover how to break free from the 9-5 grind. I’m thrilled to have you here as I navigate the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, side hustles, and everything in between. Let’s dive into what you can expect from this blog and a bit about me.
Who Am I?
I’m James, an ambitious guy with big dreams of living life on my terms. By day, I work as an IT Service Desk Analyst for the NHS, earning £24,500 a year. But by night (and sometimes during work hours, shhh!), I’m hustling to create multiple streams of income that will allow me to work from anywhere in the world.
What is My 9 To Free?
My 9 To Free is more than just a blog; it’s a chronicle of my journey toward financial independence. I want to show you that there’s more to life than a traditional 9-5 job and that with a bit of creativity and hard work, you can achieve financial freedom too.
My Ambitious Plans
- Blogging & Tutorials: Here, I’ll share everything I learn about money management, starting a business, and earning through side hustles. Expect in-depth articles, practical advice, and step-by-step tutorials to guide you on your own path to financial independence.
- YouTube Channels:
- KagoonLoFi: My LoFi music channel where I’m working towards monetization. Tune in for some chill beats while you hustle.
- MovingFinger: A channel dedicated to historical and motivational shorts, aiming to inspire and educate while also working towards monetization.
- My9tofree: My very own 9tofree YouTube channel, were I created guides, tutorials and push motivation to keep us all working towards our dreams.
- Investing in Crypto and Stocks: Once I’ve built up some capital, I’ll dive into the world of crypto and stock investments. I’ll share my experiences, successes, and failures to help you navigate these complex waters.
- Print on Demand Business: I’m planning to launch a print on demand business soon. This venture will be another step towards diversifying my income streams and achieving financial freedom.
My Current Reality
Right now, I’m juggling all these side hustles while working full-time at the NHS. Yes, it’s a lot, but it’s all part of the grind to reach my goal. Many of my side hustle tasks get done during work hours (like writing this blog post), proving that you can start building your dream even while working a 9-5 job.
Why I’m Doing This
Schools teach us a lot of things, but they rarely cover essential life skills like managing money, starting a business, or achieving financial freedom. My mission with My 9 To Free is to fill that gap. I want to share what I learn, help you avoid my mistakes, and inspire you to pursue a life beyond the constraints of a traditional job.
Join Me on This Journey
Whether you’re just starting out or already on your way to financial independence, I hope My 9 To Free becomes a valuable resource for you. Together, we’ll explore the unconventional paths to financial freedom, learn from each other’s experiences, and celebrate our wins (and laugh at our losses).
Thanks for joining me at the start of this exciting journey. Let’s make the dream of financial freedom a reality—one hustle at a time.

How does James manage his time between his full-time job and his side hustles?
I juggle My full-time job at the NHS with my side hustles by efficiently managing my time and prioritizing tasks. I often work on My side projects during work breaks or after hours, (And sometimes while while working. Don’t judge) demonstrating that it’s possible to pursue entrepreneurial dreams while holding down a 9-5 job.

I aim to achieve financial independence and the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world. Through My 9 To Free, I plan to build a supportive community of like-minded individuals striving for financial freedom.

Why does James believe traditional education falls short in teaching financial independence?
I believe traditional education often focuses on preparing students for conventional careers, neglecting crucial life skills like money management, entrepreneurship, and financial independence. I started My 9 To Free to fill this gap, providing practical advice and real-world insights to help others build a better financial future and live life on their own terms.
