THE 4 HOUR WORK WEEK

This book has been on the WSJ best seller list forever and I had refused to read it simply because I don’t like changing the way I do things. This is a bi-product of ego. So much thought is behind how I work and why I do what I do, that I often resist advice.

I'm smart enough to know that just because it's my way doesn't make it the best way. Luckily my mind is stronger then my ego (that's how I'm able to drag myself to work everyday) therefore, I am always in a constant effort to improve how I move. That's why knowledge is key.

I recieved a personal endorsement from someone I respect; so I picked up a copy of "4 Hr" last week. If you don't listen to the advice of the good people you surround yourself with, what good are they? I will hold my strong commentary on the book until I’ve completed it. So far it’s interesting; half Stephen Covey (of 7 habits fame), half PT Barnum.

I did bring forward one interesting quote:

It is vain to do with more what can be done with less.
-William of Occam (1300-1350), Originator of “Occam’s Razor”.

That is me 100%, I overdue certain things just to make myself feel good. Wasted time and effort. That alone might be worth the $19.95.

If anyone has anything thoughts please share - We are here to get Rich feedback from the minds of my insane readers are needed.

Diddy Feeling the Pinch!

You know we are relieved when gas prices drop from 4.10 to 3.80. Well what if you had your own G3? However don’t believe Diddy’s claim of it costing $200,000.00 to $250,000.00 round trip. The fuel bill for a N.Y.-LA round trip would be more like $30,000 on a G3. Still no drop in the bucket.

Tidbits from the Insane Mind

Travis Barker, DJ AM Expected To Make Full Recoveries Following Plane Crash

First of all, let’s not forget there were four people who were not so lucky and were killed during this plane crash. These people and their families get overlooked and overshadowed during the sensationalism surrounding the celebrities. This was similar to the cases of Left Eye and Aaliyah. The difference is that thte celebraties lived so everyone is like Phew! except for the families of those that didn’t survive.

Second of all; I actually got a comment from a blog reader who obvious reads my blog enough to know me, telling me how money can't prevent sickness and health, as indicated by this incident.

Read this in your best (Fran Drescher, nanny-nanny boo-boo voice)
“See being Rich didn’t save Travis Barker”

My simple response is: After Travis Barker gets done with the best surgeons, physical therapists and other rehabilitation resources on the planet he won’t be worry about the medical bills. That’s the difference!!!

Third - I would like to highlight the statement by Fallout Boy. I think it speaks volumes and should be taken to heart every day.

"It's times like these that we are reminded -- in the worst possible way -- to honor life.
.........we want to encourage anyone reading this to simply tell the people you love how you feel."

I know it sounds corny and cheesy but we all know it's true.


MEXICO TRIP - Wrap Up.
I swear something is in my stomach trying to eat it's way out. We went to an authentic Mexican restaurant where we ate all sorts of meats and mushrooms stuffed in peppers. Some of the peppers were covered in Chocolate or Pecan sauce. That picture is exactly what I ate: Chile En Nogada! That is a rotten ass chile pepper covered in almond sauce with pecans. I knew I was going to be in trouble.



You have to remember that you are there for business, and you don't want to change the focus of the meeting from money, to you and your eating. You want everyone to feel comfortable. If they order alcohol, you should order alcohol, otherwise they will feel self conscious and think you are judgmental. You don’t want the meeting to be about you at all. You want them to feel comfortable enough to have them talking freely. So if they ask do you like it, you say yes, but you pray they don't order seconds.

I was in the fetal position yesterday. Today the shzit is phuckin me up! I have to stop typing every few minutes and just think about the pain. My facial expression is like a baby, when it stops playing and has the look of concentration when it's taking a dump! .....wait........there it goes again. I'm having contractions! I'm doing the old school Bill Cosby breathing techniques!
