"10 Key Strategies for Any Business Owner to Earn

Not too long ago my wife and I were listening to an audio presentation from a business owner. He was discussing how to market your business, and he kept making a very interesting statement…
He said, “I work 7 days a week, but I’m not a workaholic.”
I found this quite entertaining…and started counting the number of times he said this. For me, working weekends would be an absolute nightmare (and I prefer taking Friday through Sunday off almost every week).
I lost count after he made that same statement the seventh time. Sounds like he was trying to convince someone…maybe himself, his wife, or the people listening?
Are you a workaholic in denial also?
Tim Ferris posted a very interesting blog article this morning…
What’s your Lifestyle Quotient?
Along with the posting, he has a quick tool you can play with to determine your “Lifestyle Quotient.” Just how much vacation time are you taking compared the amount of hours you’re working?
You can take his Lifestyle Quotient test here…
It’s interesting to see where you LQ ends up when you really take the time to look at it.

I once wrote a Pensee that said something like:
“People condemn in public that with which they struggle most in private.” –Ryan Healy
I’ve seen this happen over and over again in real life.
The same psychology comes into play when you keep saying something is okay. Chances are it’s not okay, as you’ve pointed out.
Kids provide another good example of this. Tell them not to do something and they’ll do it. Tell them to do something and they won’t.
Why are we humans like this? I don’t know. I just know we are.
“Kids provide another good example of this. Tell them not to do something and they’ll do it. Tell them to do something and they won’t.”
Not sure it only applies to kids..
I like th look Terry. I think it’s Michel’s template with right sidebar.
I think you’re right.
Ryan’s statement doesn’t just apply to kids. Tell adults not to do something and they’ll do it. For example, sometime put a link a on your page with instructions “Don’t click this link…”
And yes, the new theme is the Clean Copy template from Michel Fortin’s site.
