So I want to share this quote from some dangerous reading that I've been into lately.
"Success is inversely proportional to hard work. As you move towards effortlessness, success moves towards infinity."
Now I know y'all know that I love the Four Hour Workweek, but I needed this essential paradigm shift in order to get more stuff done. Most everyone has been complaining that there isn't enough time in the day to get everything done, but what do we do about it besides complain and stress ourselves out thinking about it.
I was fortunate enough to have one of my cousins visiting me this month for two weeks. The first week I had a lot of school work to finish and not enough time or energy to do it all. After just reading about this effortless way to success I realized that I was doing the world a disservice by not employing people to do the work that I hated. So I asked her to type my transcript for this interview up for $20. I don't remember how much I ended up paying her in the end, but the point is that I have many more projects that have been sitting on the back burner because I've had the philosophy that hard work equals success. Faulty philosophy = faulty results.
So from now on I will always be looking for ways to 'ethically' outsource my life.
