To be honest depends how you look at it bro.

I was pulling 60-70 hours weeks for far too long without realising I literally become an employee of my business. Then I discovered something quite amazing that he introduces.. designing the structure of the business to operate with as little input from me as possible... transforms your life.

His angle isnt to do less work, just maximize efficiency on the actual time he puts in. That's how the rich make money, focus on creating systems that generate cash than hiring 'drones' to man them.

Anyway, keep us up to date with what you do.

100 hours a week? Say you do 6 days a week with 1 day off, you'd be pulling 16 hour days. Basically working the entire day then as soon as your finished food and straight to bed. I get you'd have to probably domore than the normal 9-5, but you'd barely sustain that work life for more than 2 months. Isnt oneof the major perks of having your own business to work differently? I'd rather be an employee working less hours than have no life working for myself.

I did a near 65 hour week for my client working 7-18.30 during the week & a half day on a Sunday. After around 3 months I felt like utter shit - both your personal life and work life suffers, your productivity & quality of work go completely downhill. I eventually went back to them and said Id be sticking to my 45 hour week contract. Any extra hours would be charged at double my rate. At the new client Im at I do my 9 hour day & thats it. I dont start any earlier than 07:00 & I log off bang on 17:00 and it feels so much better.

Yeah 65+ Hrs is not worth ANY kind of money
I do think his point was that when you have your own business there is ONLY you to put the time in so yeah, its a working while eating and rarely sleeping kind of life.
But the idea should be to eventually to pull out of the model completely.. and do 4 hours a week :)

I'm not entirely sure exactly what direction I'm going to take, but what I do want is a significantly more enriching life.

I'm looking into online business and that's most likely going to be my first attempt at it. Again, I haven't decided what exactly to sell yet. I'm worried about grabbing some product "just for the sake of it" and would prefer to give myself the best chance by making sure it's something worthwhile, and popular now etc.

Was looking into jumping on this Amazon bandwagon, where people buy stuff for cheap and sell it at a profit using Amazon as the middleman. Again, need to be careful what to buy and sell there.

Sure, pulling 100 hour weeks sounds ridiculous (it doesn't just sound it, it is) but yep the bottom line is to be the driving force in my own company or organisation. Fuck 100 hour weeks. I didn't necessarily mean sitting behind a desk the whole time, but everything else you do that helps you to grow your business or assist in your personal growth - reading, studying all that stuff "outside" work.

The CEO of our company was up doing a talk last week and all I could think the whole time was "I'm gunna be in your shoes one day motherfucker"

Now, I don't mean literally in his shoes. I mean I want to be the top guy. The CEO. A fucking successful entrepreneur.

As for this. The reason I haven't read any more books yet is because from here on I'm going to take the required, or suggested action in the books I read.

Still on that internet millionaire secrets one. Ain't had time to get stuck in as i'm doing psychology shit right now and need to get it out of the way.

Good Luck Bro

Despite not having blindly jumped into any more books yet, I've just started Beyond Positive Thinking by a Dr. Robert Anthony.

The chapters are separated into much smaller chunks with different subheadings. So I can just pop in, read a few, then fuck off again without feeling the need to dedicate to finishing at least a chapter at a time.

Just cos I like to always be reading some self help shit.

Now, gotta get up and tackle another 2600 words for my latest 4000 word report, then post the fucker off tomorrow.

Can't wait till this fucking degree is done & dusted.
