you just LOVE to do.<br />
I was the same way…<br />

WHY I CREATED THIS<br />
I created this workbook because I wanted to show people that they can take<br />
something that they already love, are extremely passionate about, know how<br />
to do really well and create what I call a “<strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>.”<br />
I’ll define <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong> later on in this workbook but to put it simply, I see<br />
it as a lifestyle that allows you to have control over your schedule, spend more<br />
time with your family, and spend more time doing the things that you really love<br />
to do.<br />
To make a living from doing what you absolutely love to do. To be able to come<br />
and go as you please and not have to worry about asking for time off or having<br />
the money to take a spontaneous trip when you want to.<br />
You see a few years ago, I was just like you…<br />
I was trying to figure out how to put the pieces together on how to build<br />
something online, around the things that I already knew how to do and love but<br />
was completely confused about how to make it happen.<br />
There is so much information out there on the Internet that I found myself<br />
buying course after course, program after program, and wishing that there was<br />
something else out there that just made the process much more simple.<br />
And that’s why I put this workbook together, as a guide to save you years off of<br />
the learning curve and get straight to the point on the steps it really takes to<br />
create a lifestyle around your passions.<br />
Use this workbook as a guidethat you can come back to any time you feel<br />
stuck on what to do next to create your ideal lifestyle. We’re going to dive<br />
deep, so hold onto your hat and let me show you how simple it can be to create<br />
your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>!<br />

FREESTYLE LIFESTYLE<br />
What is a <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>?<br />
I define a <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong> as a lifestyle that provides you with the freedom to<br />
do what you want with your time, work remotely from anywhere in the world with<br />
only a cellphone and a laptop, taking trips with your family for more than 2 weeks<br />
out of the year,and gives you the ability to experience different cultures and all<br />
that life has to offer.<br />
It will give you the flexibility to try new things and the time to pick up the things<br />
that you loved to do but don't have time for anymore. If you wanted to pick up a<br />
dance class in the middle of the day or have the ability to take your family to the<br />
beach in the middle of the week, when everyone else is at work, you can!<br />
That's what a <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong> means to me, to be able to break away from<br />
the traditional corporate routine and be spontaneous and adventurous enough<br />
to try new things!<br />

OLD SCHOOL VS NEW SCHOOL<br />
As a millennial, I followed the traditional path that my parents taught me about<br />
what it would take to become successful.<br />
The “Old School” advice of going to school, getting good grades, finding a high<br />
paying job after you graduate and working for a corporation for forty plus years.<br />
This advice was great advice for success BEFORE the age of the Internet.<br />
Our parents or grandparents worked in manufacturing jobs during the boom of<br />
the industrial revolution and the company that they worked for would take care<br />
of them for the rest of their careers and also take care of their employees during<br />
their retirement.<br />
That success plan doesn’t work anymore.<br />
Yet our traditional school system still caters to this plan.<br />
Students get into thousands of dollars of debt for a piece of paper that doesn't<br />
guarantee them a job to help them pay off their debt , after they graduate.<br />
We’re living though a new time now!<br />
Where people can literally take their laptops and cellphones to work remotely<br />
from any corner of the world, thanks to the Internet.<br />
The problem is the majority of people out there are still following the old school<br />
plan of becoming successful, because they haven't been exposed to a different<br />
plan or a better way of living life and creating success.<br />
THE FREESTYLE LIFESTYLE HANDBOOK | DESTRIEMONIS.COM ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 9
OLD SCHOOL VS NEW SCHOOL<br />
Have you heard the phrase that "Millennials Are Lazy" or "Millennials are<br />
Entitled?"<br />
There are other generations out there that believe this and yet, here I am with<br />
a Mechanical Engineering degree and a young family, still hearing these<br />
stereotypes about my generation when I followed the old school plan of<br />
becoming successful to a T.<br />
Not all milliennials are lazy and the only reason reason they may appear this<br />
way is because they are following the old school advice and haven't been<br />
shown a success path that allows them to live life in the way that millennials<br />
want to live.<br />
To make an impact, work remotely from anywhere in the world, to travel, and<br />
create an income from your passions.<br />
The “New School” plan allows you the freedom to literally<br />
#<strong>Freestyle</strong>Your<strong>Lifestyle</strong> and create a life that allows you to travel the world<br />
and work remotely from anywhere that has an Internet connection and<br />
creates a freedom lifestyle to try new things and live your life to the fullest.<br />
You can literally work remotely from a coffee shop in Paris or sitting on the<br />
beach in Hawaii or on top of a high rise in New York City…<br />
Literally anywhere you can imagine! But you need to learn the skills it takes to<br />
get you there.<br />
And that’s what I’m here to share with you in the Ultimate Guide to Creating<br />
Your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>!<br />

WHAT YOU NEED TO CREATE A FREESTYLE LIFESTYLE<br />
Mindset - Skills - Expression<br />
The first thing you’re going to need to do to create the freestyle lifestyle you<br />
desire is to challenge the old beliefs you were taught about how to become<br />
successful.<br />
Your mindset is going to be challenged based on what you were taught growing<br />
up.<br />
I went through the same process when I found out this New School way of<br />
becoming successful was possible. And with the help of mentors along the way, I<br />
found my own path to create my <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>.<br />
“A mentor is someone who<br />
sees more talent and<br />
ability within you, than you<br />
see in yourself, and helps<br />
bring it out of you,”<br />
-Bob Proctor<br />

WHAT YOU NEED TO CREATE A FREESTYLE LIFESTYLE<br />
The second thing you’re going to need are a different set of skills that you most<br />
likely weren't taught when you were in school.<br />
I’m going to call these skills “Moves.”<br />
These different moves, just like in a breakdancing set, are going to lead you into<br />
your own style and way of expressing yourself, once you master the basics.<br />
Most people want to jump into the fancy moves first, before they master the<br />
basics.<br />
Make sure you master the fundamental moves first, before trying to get fancy,<br />
otherwise you won't get the results that you desire.<br />
The third piece of the puzzle is Expression.<br />
Expression is all about putting your own personality and your own personal flare<br />
into your skills / your moves, so that you have the ability to <strong>Freestyle</strong> Your<br />
<strong>Lifestyle</strong> and express everything you do in your life around the things that you<br />
are passionate about.<br />

MINDSET<br />
Mindset is such a huge part of the success game. Successful people attribute<br />
mindset and their mentors to their success. Your beliefs are going to have to<br />
change if you want to create a freestyle lifestyle.<br />
Let’s take a look at your current set of beliefs:<br />
"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.<br />
Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior.<br />
Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits.<br />
Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep<br />
your values positive because your values become your destiny."<br />
-Mahatma Gandhi<br />

Who do you admire or follow online that DID NOT follow this<br />
plan?<br />
Here are some people that I follow online who have created the success or the<br />
lifestyle that I want:<br />

Each of them have built up a following or audience of people who love and adore<br />
them. It's possible to create the life that you want when you build up a following<br />
of people that love you.<br />
With the right skills and guidance, do you believe it is possible to become<br />

and work for a corporation for 40 years) ? Circle Your Choice:<br />

DEVELOPING YOUR MOVES<br />
Creating Your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong> is going to take a different set of skills that you<br />
may have not learned when you were in school.<br />
You’re going to have to stretch and grow when you learn and apply these skills.<br />
Your first move is going to be to create a personal brand…<br />
“It’s important to build a personal brand because it’s the only thing<br />
you’re going to have. Your reputation online and in the new business<br />
world is pretty much the game, so you’ve got to be a good person. You<br />
can’t hide anything and more importantly, you’ve got to be out there<br />
at some level.” -Gary Vaynerchuk<br />
What is a Personal Brand?<br />
A personal brand is how you will stand out in the age of the Internet and how<br />
people are going to remember you and what you do.<br />
There are 3 elements to creating a personal brand:<br />
1. Who you are<br />
2. How you stand out<br />
3. How you make people feel<br />

Building Up Your Following<br />
Back in the Old School days, the person with the biggest Rolodex won. It was all<br />
about WHO you know.<br />
In the New School days, the person with the best relationships with their online<br />
following wins. Today, it's all about who KNOWS you!<br />
It takes time to build up a loyal following of people who just love everything<br />
that you do. Take the time to develop real relationships with people who<br />
engage with you online and in time, you will have a following of raving fans.<br />
Building up your following means that you use social media platforms to build<br />
relationships with people that vibe with you and what you’re all about.<br />
Not everyone is going to like you and that’s okay. You want to build an<br />
audience of people who relate to you the most. Your vibe will attract your tribe.<br />
These people are the ones who just can’t wait for you to put out a piece of<br />
content because they just love everything you do!<br />
THE FREESTYLE LIFESTYLE HANDBOOK | DESTRIEMONIS.COM ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 21
DEVELOPING Developing Your YOUR Moves MOVES<br />
There are 3 simple steps to building up your following:<br />
1. Create High Quality Content<br />
2. Develop a Relationship with your Audience<br />
3. Engage Your Audience<br />
Building a following is all about creating relationships.<br />
Take the time to care about others and actually listen to their concerns, it<br />
will help you think of content ideas that can help them solve their problems<br />
and they will love you for it!<br />
Capturing Your <strong>Freestyle</strong><br />
One of the best ways to build a relationship with your following, is video.<br />
Video allows people to see and hear you, not just responding to impersonal<br />
text messages back and forth. Video makes the online world more personable<br />
and allows you to capture moments when you can relate the most to people.<br />
If you’re deathly afraid to get in front of the camera and speak your truths on<br />
the Internet, especially if it’s LIVE video, don’t be.<br />
People relate to people who are not perfect but have the courage to be<br />
vulnerable. It’s difficult to relate to perfection.<br />
Document your journey to creating your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong> and I’m sure there<br />
will be people out there who can relate to the challenges you face on your<br />
journey.<br />

DEVELOPING Developing Your YOUR Moves MOVES<br />
Online Marketing<br />
The next set of moves will require you to make your personal brand known out<br />
there in the Internet.<br />
To create your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong> you’re going to need to learn the move<br />
of marketing online.<br />
You can have the best personal brand with amazing products and services to<br />
help people, but if people don't know about you, your personal brand doesnt<br />
exist.<br />
Have you ever seen someone playing the guitar but you were too far away to<br />
hear them?<br />
Think of online marketing as an amplifier. Without plugging into an amp, people<br />
can’t hear your song. Once you’re clear on your personal brand and your<br />
message, your marketing efforts will get your message heard.<br />
“A Brand is your song and<br />
Marketing is your microphone.”<br />

Express Yourself
EXPRESS YOURSELF<br />
When I was learning how to breakdance, all of my mentors told me that they could<br />
teach me the moves but there was one element that they couldn't teach…<br />
That one element that couldn’t be taught was developing your own unique style.<br />
Once you learn the moves to create your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>, that's not the end of<br />
it.<br />
You have to learn how to put in your own personality and your own unique spin<br />
on your content.<br />
No two people are born exactly the same. Even identical twins have different<br />
perspectives on the world!<br />

Together Moves<br />

PUTTING YOUR MOVES TOGETHER<br />
Every move you learned in this workbook flows together.<br />
The first thing that you defined is your personal brand, then building your<br />
following, then capturing your freestyle, online marketing and expressing<br />
yourself.<br />
These moves by themselves won't help you to build your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>.<br />
When these moves are put together, that's where the magic happens.<br />
Each of these pieces flows seamlessly together.<br />
If you're missing one piece, it will be difficult to create the lifestyle you want.<br />
Take the time to master each of these moves by themselves first, then put<br />
them together.<br />
When I was learning how to breakdance, I would spend weeks or months<br />
focusing my efforts on mastering one move before I moved on.<br />
If you want to create your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>, make sure that you master<br />
one move first before moving on.<br />
We live in a society where everyone wants instant gratification, they want<br />
things right now. But when it comes to creating the <strong>Freestyle</strong> you want in<br />
your life, remember it takes time to master these skills. Success is born<br />
from habits.<br />
Give yourself the time and discipline to develop these skills to ultimately<br />
create your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>!<br />
THE FREESTYLE LIFESTYLE HANDBOOK | DESTRIEMONIS.COM ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 28
PUTTING YOUR MOVES TOGETHER<br />
Putting all of these moves together will help you create your <strong>Freestyle</strong> <strong>Lifestyle</strong>.<br />
When you master the moves of creating your personal brand, building your<br />
following, capturing your freestyle, learning online marketing, and expressing<br />
yourself, the world can be a very exciting place to live in!<br />
