Ever since we were knee-high to a grasshopper, most of us have been taught to strive for the American dream. The dream being to work your way up the corporate ladder, pay your dues by working long hours for many years so that when you’re older, you can possibly start to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Ciao,

Yes, I have that awesome book! :) It's different for each person and there are a lot of variables.

I focus on three high-leverage activities that will push my business forward and outsource some of the other mundane stuff.

Thanks for your thought-provoking comment! :)
