Torn
I was just reading this interesting musing article on why people lose originality the more popular they get (there are so few “out there” people that are well followed) when it occurred to me that what I was doing – reading the article – was adding nothing at all to my business.
I am torn. I don’t want to waste time, but nor do I want to intellectually stagnate. The balance seems a little askew at the moment, I feel I should be sacrificing every spare second to completing those open projects…instant gratification has a hold of me and I need to shake it off. Pronto!

All In The Family
Tonight my son and I signed a contract between ourselves. The contract states that I will pay him $125 (AUD) a week for the next six weeks. In that time he will complete Ed Dale’s Thirty Day Challenge, following it to the letter and perform some transcript tasks I have. At the end of the six weeks he will hand over any niche sites he has built OR he will keep them and pay me back the money I have paid him.
There are certain caveats of course. If he does not complete the assigned tasks for that week he won’t get paid.
The goal here is to push him through the pain barrier of sitting down to complete the 30DC, while at the same time introducing him to the possibilities of earning money online.
I’ll keep you posted.

Planned and executed my exit from the corporate world. Walked away with a 6 figure payment to boot.
