4 Extra Hours

The saying goes that Richard Branson was once asked at an entrepreneur scholarship program 
- by the way; held at his private island - how he'd manage to run a number of big-brand companies, while still having time for himself and his family.

And the answer from yet another knighted business man was: I work out!

Branson went on to say that his steady work out routine in turn gave him 4 extra hours a day to be productive. Get out of here! Don't believe it. Don't get me started!

Even with all the known benefits of getting your blood pumpin', gaining 4 more productive hours a day sounds highly unrealistic to me. Then again; what do I know of Branson's daily efficiency?

Nevertheless I've now begun a list of what-to-do-with-4-more-hours-a-day. 
Not that my work out routine is steady. 
But maybe it would be if I got to read, laugh and relax in the sun for even 2 hours a day.

Choose Your Mentors



It's nice to sit down on the job occationally.

Keith of course finds meaning in most. And true to his deep understanding
of what drives his passionate contributions, he openly reaches out to other
musicians, sounds and instruments.

To me it certainly beats the 30 minute webinar on how to create your first
online business.

I do like the idea of creating lots more incomes through my passion(s)
online though. I just don't believe in mastering any corporate or personal
skill in a flash - via luck, faking it or otherwise pretending to be a wiz.

If you try and add a melody to a riff rather than evolving from it, 
it always sounds completely false.

The Spread The Love Method

Reading up on blogging I consulted a cool site: www.ridiculouslyextraordinary.com
and got blown away by the article:
Everything You’ve Been Force-fed About Blogging Is Wrong.
And I do like to have my mind blown!

As Keith says:
I never know what I'm looking for, exactely, but when I hit upon it, I know it.

The article points out that:
"Conventional wisdom suggests one of the following ways to become
a successful blogger:
1: Write amazing content on a consistent schedule.
2: The fans will follow."

We all kind of know better, and still I kept to the thinking for a while,
like "I'll just post and the rest will follow." Doesn't work that way.

Spread The Love Method
Instead I took another advice from the article about "be everywhere".
Ergo I have added links to my Facebook and Twitter accounts to the blog.

And I intent to follow through on the Spread The Love Method:

1: Write amazing content on a consistent schedule.
2: Write amazing content for others.
3: The fans will follow.
