Hello All,
First of all, let me say that I justfinished reading 4HWW two days ago. It struck such a deep cord in me that I felt totally connected with the ideas that Tim was expressing.
You see, for years now, I have had what others would call "odd" ideas when it came to wealth creation and the ideal lifestyle. All the books I read previously (I am an avid reader) just didn't fit the model of what I wanted to do with my life.
I won't say that I'm lazy, but my motto has always been to make as much money as possible and with as little time and effort that was needed.
Although I have been self-employed for nearly two and a half years, people still think that I am lazy because I don't have or want a job.
Anyway, before reading about Tim's concepts of "muses", I have developed streams of income that require very effort or time on my part.
I make anywhere between $1500-$3500 per month. Nothing earth shattering, I know. But consider that I only put in about one hour PER WEEK to generate that income.
I don't have one muse. I have several mini-muses that create income from sales of my own products, plus also Google Adsense and affiliate product sales as well.
Tim's book really affected me (and Tim, if you are reading this, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You took all the puzzle pieces that had been floating around in my head and put them all in the right places. Thanks).
I had gotten rather complacent over the past year. When you are making enough to survive and barely putting any time into it, you start to lose focus about the bigger picture. I have new plans after reading Tim's book.
I'm looking to create some bigger muses, and actually start to travel now. I think that I have an advantage over some because like I said earlier, I have been living with my muses already. And I do everything online. In my last two and a half years, I have not had to meet or speak to a single customer. Not a single one. And that's just the way I like it. Its the way I designed it, and will continue to design it.
Being online also allows me to run my business anywhere (well, as long as I have a computer and access to the internet). I can go away for a couple months, and still run my business (its just an hour a week - I can manage that).
My only problem is that I haven't travelled yet. And I need to. Tim's book was definitely a wake up call to me. Thanks again Tim.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself to this message board, and its readers.
Best wishes,
Joe
