Zoloft Withdrawal
Few people get Zoloft Withdrawal the opportunity to experience a moment of clarity but when they do its usually a life-changing experience for them. I Zoloft Withdrawal think I had mine in late 2008.This was after I closed down my second
brick and mortar Zoloft Withdrawal business. The entrepreneurial life was exactly as advertised – exciting, challenging, and frustrating all at the same time.
My wife and I Zoloft Withdrawal had just put in a year’s worth of backbreaking work with our business in which we endured long hours of Zoloft Withdrawal dealing with demanding clients and stubborn employees. Bootstrapping a business is never easy. I’ve had it with employees, I said Zoloft Withdrawal to my wife. The next business we start I want it to be with as little or with no employees Zoloft Withdrawal at all.
Zoloft Withdrawal For my next business venture I wanted something different. I told myself. I want a source of income that will Zoloft Withdrawal not raise my blood pressure beyond what the BP monitor can measure. I wanted to have a business with no Zoloft Withdrawal employees, that will operate on its own, while I am out playing my favorite sport. I would prefer it if Zoloft Withdrawal I get to play everyday. I jokingly told my wife. With a skeptical look on her face she replied – Zoloft Withdrawal What kind of business is that? Does it even exist?
Tim Ferriss’ book
This is where my Zoloft Withdrawal quest for an alternative way to run a business while living life the way I wanted to started. I was Zoloft Withdrawal trolling the internet searching for ideas and opportunities for a couple months already when I came across the website of Zoloft Withdrawal a guy named Tim Ferriss. His website was intriguingly named FourHourWorkWeek.com. I was so intrigued by the title so I Zoloft Withdrawal checked out his website for like 5 hours straight. I could not believe the radical concepts I was reading about Zoloft Withdrawal here.
So I bought his book Zoloft Withdrawal – The 4 Hour Work Week (Escape 9 t0 5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich). It took me Zoloft Withdrawal several days to find it, I had to go through several bookstores before I did. It took me a week Zoloft Withdrawal to read the book. Normally a mere 300+page book takes me less than 3 hours to read but because of Zoloft Withdrawal the radical and thought provoking ideas it contained. I had to stop reading every few pages and stare at nothing Zoloft Withdrawal while trying to comprehend the concepts of the book.
Achieving a Lifestyle Design Mindset
It was so life Zoloft Withdrawal changing for me. It gave me a new sense of freedom from an old way of thinking. And the best Zoloft Withdrawal proof of that right now I here I am writing this blog post about it. I was forced to alter Zoloft Withdrawal the way I thought about earning money. I had to change my mindset to absorb these Lifestyle Design Concepts. I Zoloft Withdrawal needed to gain a Lifestyle Design Mindset.
Some of the concepts I had to understand in Lifestyle Design are the following:
- Low Information Diet
- Technology
- Globalization
- Income Channels
- Outsourcing
- Geoarbitrage
Let me now attempt to tackle each one:
Zoloft Withdrawal Zoloft Withdrawal – due to the advances in communications technology and a globalized marketplace, people are surrounded with and are Zoloft Withdrawal drowning in too much information. I for one fell into this trap. Having a technical background I felt the need Zoloft Withdrawal to keep up with the advancements in the technology space that I worked in. When I was still working as Zoloft Withdrawal a product manager for Microsoft Philippines back then, having 300+ emails in my Outlook Inbox was a source of pride. Zoloft Withdrawal We even bragged about it. I was in every product related email alias or group in Microsoft.
When I got hooked Zoloft Withdrawal on the internet – I subscribe to over 30 RSS feeds of different topics that interest me. And me thinking Zoloft Withdrawal it was smart thing to do – tried my best to digest all of them. Ha ha ha! I was Zoloft Withdrawal putting so much pressure on myself just to keep up. I learned from the book that this was a losing Zoloft Withdrawal and useless cause. Trying to keep up will never work in this day and age.
What is important Zoloft Withdrawal is to acquire the knowledge when you will need it and not hoard knowledge in your brain that you might Zoloft Withdrawal not even use except for the occasional witty remark in parties that you think makes you look smart but does Zoloft Withdrawal not really add value beyond that. So I had to learn to move to a Selective Information Diet.
Zoloft Zoloft Withdrawal Withdrawal – I thought I understood technology quite well. Having a computer science degree, I can program code, design networks, Zoloft Withdrawal build computers, and can use and configure pretty much every piece of software I’ve seen. But Tim Ferriss’ book – Zoloft Withdrawal The 4 Hour Work Week changed the way I viewed technology. I thought technology was a great boon for my Zoloft Withdrawal professional productivity back when I was in the corporate world. Email, Powerpoint, Spreadsheets were all tools that help me do Zoloft Withdrawal a lot more work.
The book gave me new Zoloft Withdrawal way to view technology. The value of technology is not how much more uber-productive it can make me but how Zoloft Withdrawal can technology automate parts of my life that I don’t want to worry about. Like say managing a business.
Old school Zoloft Withdrawal thinking says to ensure the success of a business you have to be hands-on. Managing a business needs your personal Zoloft Withdrawal attention to guarantee success. I used to think that way. The Lifestyle Design Mindset says use technology to automate your Zoloft Withdrawal business and manage it remotely and still ensure its success while your having a the time of your life in Zoloft Withdrawal Bora. But that is only one part of the equation, there is more to it than that.
Zoloft Zoloft Withdrawal Withdrawal – before I thought globalization was just for big corporations. That only the big guys can take advantage and Zoloft Withdrawal benefit from operating on a global scale. The 4 Hour Work book opened my eyes to the fact that globalization Zoloft Withdrawal is also good for the little guys or even to an individual. As long as you understand how to leverage Zoloft Withdrawal it for your benefit. That even a single person with the proper knowledge can take advantage of having the whole Zoloft Withdrawal world as your market
Zoloft Withdrawal Zoloft Withdrawal – If your like me, a GenX degree holder, middle class background with professionals for parents, you grew Zoloft Withdrawal up with the mentally conditioned with this mantra – “Study Hard, Get Good Grade, Get a Good Job, Earn a Zoloft Withdrawal Good Salary”. The only Income Channel that was taught to us growing up was “BECOME AN EMPLOYEE”. Exchange your time Zoloft Withdrawal and talent for a fixed monthly salary.
This was one Zoloft Withdrawal sacred cow concept that was shattered when I read the book. I was amazed, I never thought this way. I Zoloft Withdrawal did not realize that what I was taught and mentally conditioned growing up was not the only way. There are Zoloft Withdrawal other Income Channels that are potentially more lucrative and much more rewarding. Working for money (exchanging your time and talent) Zoloft Withdrawal is an obsolete concept already. In fact having only one Income Channel is not only obsolete but not very smart Zoloft Withdrawal as well. People who has imbued the Lifestyle Design Mindset are aware of the advantages of automating and outsourcing their Zoloft Withdrawal identified Income Channels.
Build an Zoloft Withdrawal Income Channel once and earn from it forever. Understanding the concept of working on your business not in your business Zoloft Withdrawal take on even greater importance. Why you may ask? They key is automation and outsourcing. Develop the Income Channel to Zoloft Withdrawal be able to operate and earn without your presence required allows you to move on and work on another Income Zoloft Withdrawal Channel. This is another key concept. In this age of the internet – it is totally possible to achieve multiple Zoloft Withdrawal Income Channels. That way not only do you have the opportunity to do really well financially but it also supports Zoloft Withdrawal the old adage of diversifying your business interests.
Zoloft Withdrawal Zoloft Withdrawal – I touched on this on the previous concept discussion. Let us now focus on outsourcing itself. Just like globalization, Zoloft Withdrawal I thought that this was the domain of big corporations. Boy was I wrong! The Lifestyle Design Mindset embraces outsourcing Zoloft Withdrawal with wide open arms. In fact I would even state that based on what Tim Ferriss said in his book, Zoloft Withdrawal outsourcing is one of the cornerstones of Lifestyle Design.
Zoloft Withdrawal With the Lifestyle Design mindset you are confronted with the tough decision of figuring it how much of your life Zoloft Withdrawal can you outsource? Figuring it out is key because the more time you free up – is more time you Zoloft Withdrawal can focus on developing new Income Channels. Which you will also eventually will automate and outsource to give you more Zoloft Withdrawal free time!
What to do with your free time
Zoloft Withdrawal Once you have enough free time what will you do? As a successful Lifestyle Design enthusiast you no longer work Zoloft Withdrawal for money but money now works for you through your multiple Income Channels. What do you do with all that Zoloft Withdrawal free time? I have 3 suggestions:
- Zoloft Withdrawal Enjoy life and pursue your passion. Travel around the world, Learn how to skydive, Relocate Zoloft Withdrawal to a new country.
- Focus on your Zoloft Withdrawal family. Spend all your time with them. Never miss a recital, a reunion, or a Zoloft Withdrawal wedding. Isn’t family after all what is important and the reason you Zoloft Withdrawal worked so hard to build all those Income Channels
- Help Zoloft Withdrawal People. Go join that foundation or charity you’ve always wanted to get involved in but Zoloft Withdrawal had no time for.
And lastly Zoloft Withdrawal
Zoloft Withdrawal Geoarbitrage as defined in The 4 Hour Work Week as the “exploitation of global pricing and currency differences for profit Zoloft Withdrawal or lifestyle purposes” It sounds sinister but it’s actually a very simple concept. What it simply means is to operate Zoloft Withdrawal your automated and outsourced Income Channel in a high currency market and spend what you earn in a lower currency Zoloft Withdrawal market.
Zoloft Withdrawal For us Filipinos that means earn in Dollars and spend in Pesos. Now you might be thinking right now that Zoloft Withdrawal this is nothing new. We have 12 million Pinoys working all over the world doing exactly that. Actually there is Zoloft Withdrawal a very big difference. They are working overseas physically. This means that even thought they might be earning a lot Zoloft Withdrawal they also spend a lot due to the higher cost of living overseas.
A Lifestyle Design Concept
The Zoloft Withdrawal Lifestyle Design concept here is – Earn in Dollars while based in Manila. Target the global market with your Automated Zoloft Withdrawal and Outsourced Income Channel while living in the Philippines. Dollar profit – Peso cost.
So to Zoloft Withdrawal answer the question that has formed in your mind early on in the post – How to do this? The Zoloft Withdrawal answer is operate an Online Business. And that is how my journey in Internet Marketing began and is one of Zoloft Withdrawal the key reasons why I became an Internet Marketer.
