Freedomizing

I was watching a football game that wasn't going well with my brother. We began talking about his future prospects about coding, HTML, a language I don't' understand. His response to a question I had about utilizing the opportunity granted by www.edx.org and code games offered by google was "I don't really get it, however; I feel that if I don't pay for it I will not get the value out of it" our conversation then went to the behavioral economics idea of not accepting value out of advice unless you pay for it. In my explanation of the concept: you want advice? What you got in your wallet? Regardless of what you have in your wallet, I'm happy to help, but until you pay for it, you won't heed my advice; thus, you have a grand in your wallet, hand it over, you have a buck, hand it over, the same advice. These days, you have nothing in your wallet, ok, give me your left sock. I haven't put this into practice, but I do plan on it. I hope that next ti...

Maybe I'm nieve, ok, so take out the maybe, I don't understand any aspect of HTML, coding, any of that. So when my wife so very nicely was showing me her support by hooking me up with a logo' ed Yeti mug his and hers. They came out looking awesome, but indeed they weren't logo' ed instead company name written. I like them, and she had to explain that she couldn't find our website. I was like WHAT? Ok, you are a doctor, and you can't type in  401kisc.com ?! So I had her show me, and sure enough, you type in my pop's (soon to be our) business' website, and it becomes a search, not an address! Holy (explicit) what the (explicit) my pops had just submitted a proposal! No wonder he got zero response! So, I started doing some research and came up uber blank, so what's the next best thing? Upwork, of course! I submitted a search for an SEO person my pops could use, and after reviewing a few proposals, I found someone that could help. At $3.50 an h...

I listened to Tim Ferriss' book "four hour work week"  https://fourhourworkweek.com/ ; an action item I took from that book was hiring an assistant through upwork.com. I've had both successes with my hires and failures; however, the success' outweighs the shortcomings by a landslide! The time freeing opportunity that a personal assistant can give me is fantastic! Here is a little recap of how it went down. Currently, I am employed as a W2 employee, I've had dreams and aspirations to not be employed but run my own gig for years. Without my knowledge, I've been incorporating my FYFN (Five Years From Now) carefully planning an option to do exactly that. Little did I know it would come into fruition about five years later. Here I sit a few months out from going on my own, and my W2 employer forbids me to post anything on Linkedin. I am forced to delete every post I've ever done! My posts were strategic, and in no way, a conflict against my current empl...

Hanging in my genius lounge, I came across a concept that simplifies financial decisions and is the most innovative emotion wicking concept yet! This concept is so simple that everyone "gets it" the idea is fascinating to explain to people because you see the "light" come on. Read for it? Think of every financial decision you have ever made, now fast forward five years from then, and tell me did you make the right decision? For large investments, this is very easy to consider, but take it even to the microeconomic level. That coat at the department store you are about to buy, five years from now will you be happy with that purchase, or could you do without? Replacing your car, five years from now will you be happy you did so? Investing in your qualified plan on a bi-weekly basis, what will you five years from now person think? EASY! So, from here on out, think of every financial decision as if your five years from now person is looking over your shoulder either ...

Ok confession first, I love Yoga. Confession number two, I love the "Bikram" style yoga the most. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikram_Yoga However, the reason for this post is because of an epiphany I had just before sleep the other night. When you are in that class, and you warm up with breathing, six counts in six counts out, it is a noisy process, and kinda sounds likes waves. It is a meditative process for me, and I think for most Yoga goers as well. The epiphany I had was who you are when you are breathing, I've always been the land of the wave, when in fact if you assume you are the water of the wave it is much more in line with yoga spirituality, assuming you are also reading the Tao Te Ching, which references water quite often. The land is just an obstacle in your way. Depending on the wave, your life may be challenged at the time, chaos if the wave is crashing down, over rocks, different obstacles. As you calm, as you are able to meditate through you...
