Entrepreneurship / Personal 
Sep 06, 2017 No Comments You may have noticed that lately, we haven’t written on this blog as often as we used to. The reason? We’ve been busy preparing for the most awesome, epic event of our lives! Our team has been working so hard for over a year to put on this event. But even though it was our first year, it turned out to be everything we dreamed...

Aug 24, 2016 4 Comments I recently received an email from a young man just setting out on his own path. He’s questioning conventional education and conventional career choices. He’s looking to create a business that would allow him to travel and pursue his passions without succumbing to the daily grind and instability of traditional jobs. I was moved to answer his questions in my latest video. I know there...

Entrepreneurship / Personal / Productivity Sep 24, 2012 20 Comments I love my life! It’s a lifestyle I’ve created by choice and through persistent hard work, creativity, a bit of luck, and a lot of help from others. Not everyone would enjoy living like I do. Some people don’t like to travel. Others prefer the comfort of a steady paycheck, or are satisfied enough with their life as it is. And that’s awesome! But there are...

Malaysia / Penang / Personal / Travel Dec 22, 2011 10 Comments Have you ever gone on vacation, and after returning home felt like you needed even more time to recuperate from it? I have. This usually happens when you keep yourself busy seeing all the sites and doing all the fun activities you planned, while not leaving much down time for resting or thinking. As I mentioned in my last post, we’ve been keeping very busy...

Entrepreneurship / Family / Goals / Productivity Mar 30, 2011 19 Comments Update: In April, 2009, I wrote a post entitled How I Spend My Time, where I tracked what I was doing every minute of every day for one whole week, to help me visualize how much time I was spending on what really mattered to me. In March, 2011, I did it again and wrote this post below. In January 2013, Tim Ferriss asked if he could...

Family Feb 24, 2010 5 Comments My mornings recently have been a lot busier than usual, because I’m preparing to launch a new design for my main business, Music Teacher’s Helper. I’m really excited about it because it will make the program look much more updated and clean. We’ve also simplified the interface so it should be much easier to use, especially for those just signing up. I think our customers...

Family Aug 07, 2009 6 Comments I’ve had a few people ask about how things are going with our decision to stay home, rather than take our road trip. I have to say, they are going quite well! I have been working a lot more the past week or so on my business, because it’s the busy season right now for music teachers. Teachers everywhere are thinking about scheduling and getting...

Mar 24, 2009 2 Comments Since coming back from Panama, Jennifer and I have been amazed at how quickly life has hit us! It seems there is no end to the distractions that take us away from our family, and our focus on what’s most important. The first few days at home were wonderful, and we still had what we feel was a healthier mindset. We were still productive, we...

Mar 15, 2009 4 Comments This vacation was truly like no other I’ve experienced. Usually, we spend our vacations running from one activity to another, and come back to a mess of things to do, making us even more stressed than before we left. We usually need a vacation from our vacation. This time, however, we really felt rejuvenated, and have a renewed energy to get back into life. I...

Productivity Jan 24, 2009 3 Comments Automation and Leverage I’ve always loved the idea of automation. I remember when I was about twelve years old, I loved dreaming about how, in the “future”, we’d simply press a button, and we’d have our food. We’d press another button, and we’d be dressed. We’d press another button and we’d be clear across the world. Well, that hasn’t really happened, and arguments could be...
