Productivity

Fear is perhaps the single most important reason that you are not taking action right now. Fear is the response to change that our brain sends us when we try to break the status quo. What if something goes wrong? I’m sure you asked yourself this question a lot of times, sometimes in your subconscious, and then refused to take action because you didn’t know the answer. I don’t even want to think about… Read more

Editor note: this is a guest post by Anthony from feint.me. These days, the idea of staying truly focused on any given task seems increasingly difficult. What with Twitter, RSS readers, IM clients and of course email, our lives are filled with constant distractions, engaging us in a battle for focus and productivity. We can’t take focus for granted. It’s not something that just happens. And unless… Read more

I have many goals for this year, such as earning $1000/month from passive income (as a part of my 10,000/euros month major goal), growing this blog even more, and read 50 books. I have a lot of dreams, but a huge view of reality at the same time. There’s no way I’m going to do all of this without an effective plan of action. Yes, because at the end of the day it’s what we actually did that matters,… Read more

Every once in a while I like to take some time for myself and recharge my life. In this time I go through and revitalize each area of my life.

Here are some tips I want to share to start decluttering your life.

Concentration is difficult to gain, and even more difficult to maintain. Music can help us a lot maintaining concentration at work and home, so I decided to create two playlists to share with you. To get the best out of these playlists, I strongly advise the use of headphones. Other than the sound quality improvements that you get by using headphones, you’ll also create a sort of isolation from the… Read more

2010 will begin in just two weeks, and this is the perfect time for us to set new goals, except that I’ve never done it before. in fact I’ve always planned when I needed to do so, without waiting for the new year to come. Still, this time is different because I feel the need to realign my goals and values. The reason I feel a need to realign my goals is because I just had a few days of laziness where… Read more

This week I sit down thinking about many steps of my businesses. Usually when I do this I just try to think at what I can offer to others. A typical conversation with myself would go like this: me: ok, what can I offer to people using my service? my inner self: oh, you could just give them some free reports. me: sounds cool. my inner self: but you shouldn’t tell them the whole story, otherwise how… Read more

Prior to start offering consulting to companies I always wondered why salaries were so low and why I was not taken into consideration when something important was to be discussed. It felt weird to me, and I kept asking to myself this question: “Why am I so underpaid and only just a number in this society?” Then one day I got an illumination, and instead of complaining like the other days, I asked… Read more

I recently got an email from a reader asking for advice on how to generate traffic to a website built using the cloud living model. Of course the answer were already clear to both of us, and it is in fact written in the book itself. So what was the real problem? The real problem is that we are not accustomed at doing something small everyday until we reach a result after many weeks or months. We… Read more
