The Time Conundrum

I'm here, I'm tired, I'm frustrated and quite frankly demotivated!

Thirteen years of software development and a quest to be more than the expected.

Many years have gone by, but the last three years have been particuraly demanding due to work, I'm working incredibly hard buidling innovating software that's not mine.

Lost time with my kids, and more lost time during the evenings due to the inability to "switch off" from the day job.

I need to be more than the expected, I need to build a semi-passive empire!

With many failed attempts in affilaite marketing, now is the time! I will become aware of my surroundings,

I will become aware of scams and I will most certainly become a master and not a sheep.

It's not the money, it's the "time" I so desperatly want, I want to travel with my kids, I want to see the world!

Money is the only thing that can make that happen. "Don't become content, don't become the norm" - "knowledge is power, power is money".

This day forward, I will strive to obtain as much knowledge as possible. Spending that little bit longer being dettached from life, thus will help me building that semi-passive empire. If I fail again, I'll take rest and learn from my mistakes.

Is it time, or is it the empire?

We need to ask our selves what do we truly want, In my case it's "time". Time is the primary key.

As Einstein once quoted: "Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value."

So, knowledge is power (value), power is money (money = time). It's all linked, one cannot be without the other.

It's all simple math really, if it can be measured, it can be quanitfied, thus revealing "values"

I'm asking myself and others, to truly dig deep, understand the importance of time and really push through those difficult times, one needs time to master a craft. Onwards and Upwards for us all.

The ultimate question, are we going to become more than the expected and are we going to become of value?
