I can't tell you how many times I've sat in meetings inwardly stewing because there was so much productive work left undone to sit and listen to some overpaid bozo rattle on about this or that. Other things said also hit the mark. The 80-20 rule applies is most cases. But, again, Ed, you're right about warning people not to get carried away by wishful thinking. Just because some author or marketer has become rich on 4-hour weeks doesn't mean you're going to. And believe me, even those who manage 4 hours a week now certainly didn't do so at the outset.

Without a "barrier" of some sort i.e. difficulty for competitors to enter the market, then your biz can evaporate over night @Kevin. Lots of sports fall into disrepute cos by wining at all cost, bending rules etc @ Smith You r right .

I have to say be careful about the suggestions in the later part. In today worlds, your reputation is very important. If people finds that you break rule just for your gain, people will know. Some rules are ok to break like being creative. But in sports and for sportsmanship, tricks like dehydration to go to a lower weight class is crap. Imagine if you have kids and your kids see what you do? We are going to end up with kids that what to do things their way All the time. Hey Ed,

One or 2 points are ok, but some of the stuff there borders on fantasy. Eg is creating an online muse. If you find a profitable niche, others will find it soon enough.
