Title: The "30 Second" Key to Success
Tags: success how-to formula blueprint
Blog Entry: How can you be successful? This is a question that the entrepreneurial mind must always ask. Success boils down to essentially one thing... How you manage your time. We all have the same amount of time in a day, and at the end of our day the day's time is spent. It doesn't matter if you are a millionaire or a bum, we're equally rich in the amount of time available to us, but not all of us get the same amount of work/progress made. Let's take a closer look. Work and progress is made by taking action or leveraging the efforts of others to take action. If I own a painting company and can paint 3 rooms per 8 hour day at $100 a piece that's $300 per day if I am consistent. But if I can pay someone else to paint those 3 rooms at $10 per hour and only spend 1 hour managing them my pay per hour just went from $37.50 per hour to $210 per hour. Now if I add 7 more workers who require me to spend 1 hour per day to manage I can work 8 hours per day and make $1680! Now of course this example is purely hypothetical and I have no idea what the average painting job actually charges but it illustrates a very valid point. The activities you spend your time on pay you a return. A properly managed hour of "managing work" has the potential to pay out much higher that 1 hour of "labor work" I hope this helps you think of some activities that you can do to increase your value per hour   -Jae
