Entrepre-Not-Yet
It’s been about a year since I, Sarah J. Lambert of Austin Texas, decided that I would like to be an entrepreneur. About a year ago, I read a 2007 book called “The Four Hour Work Week”, which changed my life. 
OK, maybe a slight exaggeration. I can be a bit histrionic. I read it, and imagined how it would change my life. 
Let’s rewind. I was in college when this book came out, and was therefore indisposed for extraneous reading, but I have a distinct memory of it being described to me. I was in the student apartment kitchen, slicing sweet peppers for our favorite, fajitas, when my roommate told me about this “ridiculous” book. 
I had to set the knife down on the cutting board and ask her to repeat. 
“The guy just hired people from other countries to do all his work for him, and then went on vacations or whatever.”
OK, fast forward 12 years. Try not to get whiplash. I read the book and I thought, there is so much more to this book. I tried to talk to people about it 12 years later. They vaguely recalled having read the book when it was on the NYT bestseller list.  
It seems that everyone had read this book. But when I asked, “Did you try it?” 
No, they hadn’t tried any of the radical ideas laid forth in the book. This struck me as...promising. I’ll explain. 
OK, explaining...In one chapter of his groundbreaking book, the author, Timothy Ferriss, describes how he held a contest for students. Whichever student got in touch with the most celebrities over a short period of time would get a free trip to anywhere they chose. 
The first year of the contest, not a single student got in touch with a single celebrity. They all lost because no one tried. 
So, in realizing that it seemed people had read Ferriss’ book, then set it aside as an amusing lark, I saw an edge. I saw an advantage for me. What if I were the one who did try? Who did give it her all? Could his methods work? And what could be the harm in trying? 
This is how I started the year 2020. It’s now November. What happened? Follow me to see!

Been reading the 4 hour work week from @timferriss and I'm really loving it so far. Really is motivating to get my own business going and automate income streams.

Wow. Amanda Palmer gives her perspective on life, pain, career, etc that hits home in multiple ways (Disclaimer: she uses words that I don’t use, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard her music.)
My wife and I have dealt with multiple miscarriages, so to hear Amanda describe hers at length as frightening yet empowering is so helpful for me to hear as a man.  With that said, she makes some observations of the male machismo and it’s usefulness in war time in comparison to the immense strength that women have (and not been able to talk about) that allows them to deal with the bloody realities surrounding all aspects of reproduction and their bodies.  “[men and women] are not good at supporting each other. 
She spoke of differentiating the kind of pain that tells us that ‘we are in real danger’ in contrasts with, e.g., the pain of childbirth, which can (probably with some difficulty), by comparison, be cast at ‘discomfort’. Tim comments his obsession with high pain thresholds. How we view pain can dramatically effect how we make everyday decisions.  As a kid, I was terrified of pain and now, as an adult, I am still learning to use the gym and cold showers to deepen my resolve to push through pain to get the results I want for my body and my life. No wonder Tim’s blog interests me so much.
The way she described pain and the mail machismo in a more positive, useful light made me think: In America, where so many of us men no longer are called to war or even to careers that depend heavily on our physical strength, clearly, the world is becoming more and more in need of the kind of strength that women possess. At the same time, instead of trying to become more feminine, how can we as men support women and still hone in our masculine strengths in modern times?
Toward the end she shifts to the struggle that all artists have been their creativity and their finances. Just by hearing her story, I am more encouraged than ever that taking the risk to become a creative person publicly, and not just for my private ‘whatever’ is a risk that I need to make, not just for me, but for the people out there that I don’t even know yet that want and, perhaps, need to hear what I have to offer.
Some key topics/moments for me (Tim always has a more comprehensive list)
Amanda takes us through her heartbreaking — and empowering — Christmas miscarriage. [41:46]
The first time Amanda remembers feeling not okay — which likely contributed to her deep-seated fear of feeling unbelieved. [1:01:37]
On understanding and harnessing one’s pain to make it useful to others, the difference between the pain of childbirth and the pain of imminent danger, and pain as a metaphor for our society. [1:12:46]
How has moving to a fan-supported model changed Amanda and her art? [1:31:09]

Este libro ha sido muy extraño. Tengo que reconocer que al principio me parecia una estupidez propia de un Gurú vende-humos 💨 . Ya me entendéis, de esos libros que “cambiarán radicalmente tu vida con su método de 3 pasos o su rutina de hacer el pino”. Pero la realidad es que hay algunas cosas que realmente me han hecho pensar. Aunque con 10% de las páginas hubiera quedado solucionado 😅 . 👉🏼 En nuestro día a día (sobretodo en el curro) hay muchas cosas tontas que nos hacen perder una cantidad de tiempo que no somos conscientes. Un ejemplo claro es el chat o el email. Nos genera parones e interrupciones. El libro propone grstionar todas esas cosas a unas horas determinadas (estilo time blocking) es decir: a tal hora miro el correo y chats, o cuando haya terminado esta tarea. Esto me pareció super interesante, despilfarro una de tiempo en telegram a veces que tela 😭 . Otro punto super interesante es que habla de cuanto más tiempo tenemos para desarrollar algo (una tarea, un proyecto, entrega...) más nos liamos. Y esto es verdad a veces nos olvidamos de lo que tenemos que hacer realmente y nos ponemos a inventar y a sacar funcionalidades y ponerlo bonito y mil cosas que no vienen a cuento. Hay que poner una fecha de finalizar el proyecto aunque no se entregue al cliente y cerrarlo. Y a otra cosa mariposa 🦋 . También da muchas (excesivas) vueltas al tema de externalizar todo lo que podamos nuestras tareas. El tio está obsesionado en subcontratar a indios de Bangladesh para que lo hagan todo por ti. Yo creo que la esencia es importante. Trata de revisar las tareas que haces, por qué las haces, si tienen sentido, si se pueden automatizar o incluso delegar/subcontratar 👌🏼 . Hay un punto interesante y es que defiende que no hay que buscar una relación con el dinero en la qie tu vendas tu tiempo a cambio de dinero. Puede resultar complejo, pero si trabajamos a hora trabajada-hora cobrada seremos esclavos del trabajo. Habla insistentemente de encontrar una formula (dropshipping tambien insistentemente) de encontrar no ingresos pasivos pero si todo lo posible. Buscar un proyecto cuya esencia no sea intercambiar tu tiempo por dinero.🤯 #fourhourworkweek (en Barcelona, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3ufe7F2sa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=20aci15z2ke8

Top 1,000,033 things to block, delete, skip and ignore
Top 1,000,033 things to block, delete, skip and ignore
It is tough not to vent and complain here about the world, the internet, politics, etc. Thus, a constant reminder is needed: focus on what you can control, or you’ll go crazy.
That includes the information that you consume everyday. Are you drinking from a single, polluted tap? In this moment I liken it to separate hot and cold faucetsthat I have experienced in Montreal, and possibly Paris: they…

Carlos Valiente $100,000 + per year | Interview
Carlos Valiente $100,000 per year Interview.
I’ve been in affiliate marketing for the last 18 months.  Before that I was working in different advertising agencies doing SEO and a bit of media buying.
Around that time, I came across one of John Crestani’s Ad Words Training course and other training videos.
Carlos Valiente
What got you interested in affiliate marketing?
Check out John's new free training
http://www.2brosonline.com/JC-webinar
The fact that you can work pretty much where you want to.  It is what Tim Ferris calls the 4-hour week lifestyle.  I just wanted to work less and make more money.
I didn’t like the company ambience where I was working.  I don’t want to be part of the corporate world.  I want to be my own boss.
Work where I wanted to and when I wanted to.
When I was researching affiliate marketing, it provided everything I was looking for: Freedom, Money and being my own boss.
What was your biggest problem or frustration starting off?
https://youtu.be/CRFSNt3gwj4
I wasn’t as tech savvy as I needed to be.  This held me back.  I didn’t understand tracking to well.
Also, the amount of information to understand, but it was more a matter of focus.  I had a big problem with focus because in the affiliate market there is so much information available.
There are so many people promoting their system or method and at some point, you are overloaded.  You don’t know where to go or what strategy to follow.
Why did you decide to work with John Crestani?
He had a broader knowledge of marketing in general.  Most others are specialized in just one way to make money.
http://www.2brosonline.com/JC-webinar
I wanted to learn all the various ways of advertising online like Adwords, Facebook, media buying etc.  I figured that I could learn more from you and you had more to offer.
John was one of those marketers who were very low key and casual.  He seemed to be very honest and many training videos on every subject.  Also, the numbers and proof spoke for themselves.
How do you feel about working with John now?
It’s one of the best decisions I ever made. (Bright smile) My personal life changed when I decided to join John as a student.  That’s when my business kicked off for me.  Going through the training, I started to get better at affiliate marketing and make some money.  It’s been a year that I don’t have a 9 to 5 job and I’m making pretty good money now.
Who would you say John’s program is good for?
Carlos Valiente: I would say both beginners and advanced.  There is enough information for a beginner to get started fast and start making some money.  At the same time, there is enough information to help advanced affiliates get to that next level.
Sign up now and learn from one of the best
http://www.2brosonline.com/JC-webinar
What is it about John’s training style that makes sense for you?
What I liked a lot is to see you go step-by-step setting up a campaign.  You showed us different angles to write ads.  It is easy to learn because it’s not scripted.  You are just showing us how to do it and talking to us personally.
How did the first month go?
I was quite anxious, and I made some mistakes. I wasn’t paying enough attention to details.
It changed when John and I (Carlos Valiente) had a call and he made it very clear that I had to shift my mindset.  Basically, that meant I was still trying to get rich quick.  I wasn’t looking at it like a serious business.  Once we had that call, the next month I was no longer dabbling in it but fully focused.
Once you started doing campaigns over and over, did it become easier over time?
Yes, it has become easier and I’m doing it consistently every month.
How much profit have you made in this last year?
Around $130,000.
How has your life changed for the better by working with John Crestani (other than just the money)?
I don’t have to worry as much about money as I did.  For investment purposes I’m getting ready to buy a house which I would not have been able to do. In terms of fun, I’ve been able to take more vacations. Also, now that I have more money, I’m able to put it to work as well.  I like to invest in real estate.  But before I didn’t have any opportunity to do that because I didn’t have enough capital.  I’m overall living a better life.
I still want to make more money but I’m less anxious about my basic needs.
What has been the most important lesson you have learned working with John?
Everything you do has a process to learn. If you are looking to succeed at something you have to follow the process.  When I’m preparing a campaign there is a checklist to follow.  If you shortcut that process you will just cheat yourself.
http://www.2brosonline.com/JC-webinar
Carlos Valiente, what would be your advice to others who are ‘sitting on the fence’ about working with John?
I’d say you have to look at where you are now and where you want to be.  And also, how long it’s going to take to get there if you don’t get help from someone who has done it already.  Time is more important than money.  How much will it cost you if you don’t get a mentor to share his knowledge with you.  For me, the investment was well worth it.  I was looking for a way to shortcut my time investment.
For beginners or for advanced marketers it should be a no-brainer to jump on John’s training.

A part of the reason I’m on this journey now is a little 2 week trip I took in my tent trailer back in 2013.  A friend and I decided to hit 10 SouthWest National Parks throughout California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.  It was a mad tour, but it was  lot of fun and it really triggered my love of the open road and taking pictures of the beautiful landscapes.  It also made me realize I could actually doing my computer consulting while traveling.
A book I read in 2010 also pushed me towards where I am today.  The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris is that book.  It made me realize that I was already doing a lot of the things he suggests in his book.  I was working from home.  I haven’t been in an office, perse, since 1998, which obviously provides one with a lot of freedom and flexibility.  The only problem with this was I wasn’t really taking advantage of this freedom and flexibility, but just sitting in my home office, enjoying working in my underwear.  What I could be doing, which I realized from this trip, was traveling all over the US and enjoying new places and experiences while I worked.
So after I completed the journey above, I started thinking a lot about what I needed to do to actually start traveling while I worked.  I had a couple of set backs and it took me until 2015 until I actually took action on it, but I eventually did get in my tent trailer and I started traveling around the US.   And then around the globe.
Here are some of the most memorable pics from that trip.   What inspired you to start living more minimally?   Tell me about your minimalistic lifestyle and desires for travel and adventure.   I’d love to hear what you’re doing to live a more simple life.
