Day 9 "Working on My Muse "

2010-01-18T19:08:00.000-08:00

Wow working on muse takes a lot of work. I hired a couple of people on elance,
a ton of back a forth e-mail, not sure if I'm trying to control to much or what?
I outsourced website writing material (article and e-book)and working on PPC campaign myself. I know good bit about, so I'm having difficulty finding someone knowledge set who I believe can do what I ask. Must say spending a lot of time and bit of money working toward muse, it will be worth if it works.

Day 8 "Took a little Siesta" MiniVaca

2010-01-09T10:51:00.000-08:00

Was away for holidays and then took trip to PSU Bowl game in florida and decided to stay a week. My first MiniRetirement.

I'm still working on muse though, outsourcing website design and content, working on communication style. I'll need to get better if I want to limit e-mail.

Day 7 Q & A live with Tim Ferris

2009-12-22T20:18:00.000-08:00

Pretty cool, wanted to get more into technical stuff on how to build muse.

Day 5 Define the Nightmare

2009-12-19T17:11:00.000-08:00

Well we have about about a foot of snow outside they called for 4-6 inches. Did give me opportunity to work on "Finding the Muse".

4 things looking to outsource
1. Posted items for writing e-book for opt in sign up
2. Posted for doing basic web design
3. Started Researching Keywords for PPC Campaign
4. Contact other companies for product to make or resell

page 46-47 7 tough questions
I must say Define nightmare is good exercises, hard but good.
Makes it seem like it can't get that bad. Couple of other things that are tougher
putting things off out of fear, I guess when working on a dream life you are afraid to approach somethings because you think it might be only answer to direction you want to go and then get a no. Not afraid to ask, but I hate when you know it's good for both parties and they won't buy into it. What do you do?

I'm going to do this same thing again tomorrow, although I did go through the questions. I think I'm not really getting to the heart of the matter.

I'll Be Back

Well I read the Questions and Action this morning just like promised late last night.

1. How has being realistic keep you from life you want?
Tough question and easy trap to fall into, I think it has to do fear of failure
Answer: In past it allows you to stay in comfort zone if you in comfort zone
you really can't grow. and nobody want to look foolish. Well then time to act a fool. heheheheheh!!!!!

2. How about should and subpar experience? The could of, would of and should of
old of to know now you really of to much to lose not doing it

3. What will I sacrifice if I continue on old path? Wow man when you think about it
I'll end up working for some young know it all punk trying to climb the corporate ladder
I might end up punching in the face and sent to jail, which cause to lose job, become homeless
and living out on streets..............

Wow tough spot in the book, I'm going remind self of this part.

Day 2 Rules of the New Game

2009-12-16T16:57:00.000-08:00

The Revised version of the book The 4 Hour Work Week is on it's way that's actually what got me started on this trip.

Challenge the Status Qou basic concept is kind of like Warren Buffet says when others are fearful be greedy when other are greedy be fearful. The more and more I think about it is really true, when people come to you with hottest investment over and over it's time to look somewhere else.

Here are the rules that I must follow
1. Retirement is worst case must not sacrifice life now for what you might get in future
2. Interest and Energy Are cyclical need longer mini retirements to rejuvenate yourself or you will burnout
3. Less is not laziness idea is focus on important and be productive instead of busy. Ask yourself I'm being productive or just busy. (Must admit I've been bad at this I think look for busy things instead of doing the tuff important stuff) maybe even this blog is what I'm doing. In my defense I'm doing this to keep myself on track
4 Timing is never right enough said that's why started on birthday, was yesterday I'm day older
(older then dirt) heheheheh don't feel old hmmmmm that gives me idea for product!!!!!!!!!
5 Ask for forgiveness. Not permission this another biggie
6. Emphasize strengths. Must hire other for thing not good at got it
7. Thing in excess become opposite. go get book!!! But I hope money is something of excess that comes out.

Oh crap he got me on this one..... should have not wrote up about the next one is
8. Money alone is not solution
Double duty!!!
9. Relative income is more important than absolute income. Ok I got it!!!!!!
10 What the heck is Eustress ......Go Get the book not giving it all away go to

Here comes tough stuff
Questions and Actions. It's about 9 will do first thing tomorrow I promise will be something best in morning when fresh. Got book mark and my phone on this page so I have to see it.

Side note Expanded and Updated 4-Hour Workweek is officially out and they did it on my birthday Dec 15 how coincidental

Day 1 What's the DEAL?

2009-12-15T17:33:00.000-08:00

Starting this on my Birthday, Happy Birthday to me. YES!!!!!!!!

DEAL is a Keyword in the book

Definition + Elimination + Automation +Liberation = DEAL.

9:00 at night

Just read chapter 1 again he describes the differences between

New Rich (NR for short) and the Deferrers (D)

example

D: To make tons of money and be your own boss while starting a giant company and cashing in with big IPO.

NR: To have others work for you, be the owner but have others maintain work for you while you live mini extended trips through out life, instead of big pay off create source of cash flow with least amount of effort.

All right Tim I get it already I was a Deferrer looking for big payoff I've change sorry. You gave me a paradigm shift how's that for 7 habits Covey. Hhehehehehheheh!!!!!

Rest of chapter gives examples if you are reading this go buy the book, "The Four Hour Work Week" Escape the 9 to 5 and join the new rich you may go crazy like me and follow it. Good luck I wish you well.

Looks like no exercises for this chapter, going to bed. NR life is good already, later.
