The Workflow of Work | Momentum Building

3285689600_2351fedf9d

A major problem I see holding back my friends and fellow freelancers from progress is messy-ness. They’re lost in the frenzy of their new clients, new campaign, or shiny new twitter apps. I don’t want that, and neither do you. Since we’re finally hitting on income producing efforts I’ve decided to layout my custom system for managing the work “stream” that inevitably occurs when we decide to challenge the status quo and create our own income. I have a bevy of new things to start hacking at, and I’ll lay all those out in due time but I’ve realized launching sustainable business ideas takes more for-thought than in-thought (that should be a word).  Continue reading →

Time Management is the Key to Lifestyle Design | G_RO

This is a guest post written by Greg Rollett from Rock Star Lifestyle Design. I reached out to Greg months ago while first looking at what it was to design your lifestyle. He’s been an awesome resource, down to earth and excited. He gives us some great tips on how to stay on track with our goals here, perfect reminders for wherever you are in designing your life.

Essentially lifestyle design boils down to how effectively you use your time, and the emotions you get from spending that time.

The Life Design Project | Resources for Freedom

I’ve stumbled on some great people and phenomenal services over the first 3 stages of this project. Although the best is yet to come, (income streams finally!) I can’t stress enough how valuable the for-thought of defining your dreams and situation (stage 1), eliminating and optimizing (stage 2), automating and outsourcing (stage 3) are before you actually try to set up a platform for residual income. I’m in no way interested in flimsy, low quality, time wasting attempts to build passive income and I want to make sure you aren’t either. So before embarking on making money while I sleep I’ve put together a resource listing for reference and teaching. I hope they serve you as well as they have me… Continue reading →

Work the System & Under30 Rockstar Biz Series

I apologize for the long delay in posting. Setting up a system structure to run your passion fueled business and generating ideas out of it has a way of taking up time. The pesky 9-5 doesn’t help either…I snidely ponder and hope for my dependance on it to end sooner than later. Never the less I’ve been making progress. I hope you have too.

I’ve recently finished time with two incredible resources. One that came by means of community and friendship and one by a search for “living life with a plan” on twitter. The sources in mind are “Work the System ” by Sam Carpenter and the Under 30 Rockstar Business Series which was led by Greg Rollett (Rock for Hunger Vice President) Continue reading →
