Month: July 2007

As of this week, I’m going to be using outsourced help from services like  www.elance.com/home to help my online businesses and for personal reasons.

The math is simple.  If you value your time at $20-25+/hr and you have the opportunity to hire someone at $4-$6.50/hour, you’re both able to leverage the expertise and help of others while pursuing other pursuits.    

Today I will begin an information diet where I will avoid newspapers, media, television, and reading nonfiction that is unrelated to my current project goals.   I will only read fiction for joy reading purposes.

Why? 

• I think it’s generally a waste of time because I don’t want to give control of what’s important to a group (media groups) that seek to maximize it’s advertising revenue and drain your attention.   Generalization?  Somewhat.  Harsh?  It’s blunt. 
• Action and focused preparation results.  
• I’m going to set a 1 week target and I plan to extend this target after analysing the effects
