One of my favorite questions to ask my community is....
"What are we working on?"
A bit of context might be needed, you see my community is filled with online entrepreneurs. Heck, the majority of the blockchain is what I consider online entrepreneurs. But for the sake of this example, I'm referring to the CTP Swarm.
The reason I ask that almost daily in our Discord is.....We're calling ourselves online entrepreneurs. We should always be working on something!
Beyond that though, I love to see what others are building. Especially if they have a new post that they created, I always try to support them in every way I can.
However, here's the situation which I'm sure you must be aware of by now....
Life situations have required me to get an offline job. And it's weird man, I'm not going to lie. Waking up at 5:30 am now for 3 weeks, doing actual manual labor lol Now I'm not looking for a pity party, far from it, it's just different for me. For 20 plus years, I've been working for myself. So for the past 3 weeks now, I've actually had a....Boss!
The job is fine, and I'm enjoying the experience and heck even waking up early is kind of cool. But what it's really killing is my time that I can allocate to my online businesses.
Thankfully, I learned something many years ago that I wanted to share with you on how to 'fight' this...
And it comes from one of the best motivational speakers in the history of the industry - Jim Rohn
You may have heard this one before but here it is:
I can just hear him as he says this. Jim passed away a few years ago, but I have so many of his audio recordings in my personal library, it's a must for any serial entrepeneur.
But exactly what is Jim speaking about in this quote?
Jim used to tell this story in his 'Magic of Part Time / Living Your Best Life' seminar series. You can check it out here!
Basically he would state, that we need to work at our daily jobs full time, to pay the bills. But what we do with our free time, or with our part time job will determine the next 10 years of our life!
Sounds familiar right?
You hear @taskmaster4450le and I speak about this a lot in our podcasts. We really need to stop thinking short term when it comes to building on this blockchain. What we choose to work on, and put in the effort TODAY, will have a drastic impact on our future.
That's what I'm doing now with my 'part time job'. It's CTP, it's LEO, it's HIVE, it's CTPX, it's ListNerds....They have now become my part time gig and I will allocate those precious hours after my full time job on them.
So that in the future, all that effort I'm putting in now....Will set me up and my family for life!
No guarantees obviously, but here's the thing.....
God willing, we'll all be here in 10 years from now.
Does watching Netflix with my spare time help my future? Because those 10 years are coming, no matter what I choose to do...
Or does working on my part time job, potentially help my future?
I know what I'll be working on!
