Hey guys,
As you will know from my previous posts, I’ve been meaning to get back into product creation again (in January I decided to go into front-end list building) so I decided to bite the bullet and drop everything else for at least a couple of weeks to get the ball rolling (from my personal experience, getting momentum is the hardest part).
Coincidentally, I have picked up a copy of Tim Ferris’ 4 Hour Work Week. Man, I can’t tell you what a revelation this is!
This guy does whatever he wants, when he wants, and for work a.k.a. income generation, he barely has to contribute a few hours per week total. Most of the time he can do what he wants!
I have heard people say that they would prefer to be kept busy (??) but I think they miss the point. He is kept busy, by doing what he wants to do. Sure, marketing is fun and beats a 9-5 job, but I still regard making money as a job, albeit probably the best. But imagine if you could free your time to do other things like Tim has done - become a motorcycle racer, participate in a national tango contest in Argentina, win a kickboxing tournament even though weeks earlier you knew jack about this martial art.
OK, I’m going to shut up now - why? Because, I need to focus on dedicating my precious time towards the most important tasks that will allow me to realise my goals. Some of my projects I will abandon, others I will put in as little time as possible, but I must focus on what I believe is best for me and will allow me to realise my goals - and right now that is product creation.
Of course, I will still be keeping in contact with my readers here, fear not
But think about it yourself, as Tim says in his book, if you were struck down ill tomorrow and had only 2 hours per day to do any work towards your goals, what would you do? The best thing is to simply do those most important things and abandon or outsource the rest.
Have any of you guys read the book, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts?
TTFN
Chris
