I already worked for myself before I read FHWW and after I wanted four hours, not seven. I actually wanted one hour a week and tried delegating everything. I started a second service business and it quickly started earning $90,000 profit every six months. In the end I lost that business by outsourcing it a little too much and sold it. It was hairy for a minute and then I pulled it back together when I sold the business and my apartment and moved to Hawaii. I still have a small online company & started a new processing company last year, but I am not concerned with money at all, we are fine. I have a new baby, a small business, a beautiful wife who has insurance for all of us. I stumbled back here because I want to give up my mobile phone or at least the internet for a little freedom from clients. The down side is I am very customer service oriented and I like to be there always for my clients. I work from home with my beautiful baby girl by my side and we play most of the day. My life is near perfect really, I am just over connected again and need to get back to ignoring the world a bit more. A year ago I actually quit Facebook when I had become a bit of a junkie. I need the phone, maybe not the internet but I am having trouble disconnecting I stopped by looking for that extra inspiration to disconnect so I could focus on the things that are most important to me.

Thanks for that. I have always made my living marketing over the internet.. just always for someone else, whether an investor group in my own company or for an employer, I've never entirely controlled my time until now. It's a sunny monday and i'll divide my day entirely between enterprise and exercise. Where there used to be BS and wasted time, there is now smiling and sweating. The bottom line is this: i've taken back ownership of my own human capital, and i'm far more wealthy for it. A quick thank-you note from sunny Las Vegas:

I have always made my living marketing over the internet.. just always for someone else, whether an investor group in my own company or for an employer, I’ve never entirely controlled my time until now.

It’s a sunny monday and i’ll divide my day entirely between enterprise and exercise. Where there used to be BS and wasted time, there is now smiling and sweating.

The bottom line is this: i’ve taken back ownership of my own human capital, and i’m far more wealthy for it.
