Bricks in my fort

It’s my sixth year in the IM business and by all accounts I have loved every single minute of it. I have never left frustrated, tired, or angry to get to work over the past six years. To the contrary, I feel lucky and blessed to have the fortitude and courage to do what I love.

This might be a simple thing but the power that such a thought offers is phenomenal. For the most precious of resource of them all is Time and it should not be wasted on resources that might not stay with your company. The goal is not to completely get rid of the employee based structure but to use less of them. So hiring process gets easier and the chances that your machinery will break down due to a talent crunch will be less.

I certainly have areas of my business were automation can simply take hours off and reduce cost. I am playing with several automation tools in the SEO arena including zennolabs and Ubot. But the most promising seems to be Ruby. A web based automation tool gives me access to it on the go. May be my own version of a four hour work week is beginning to take shape. BTW if you haven’t read the book by Timothy Ferriss please do! Its a brilliant book. It doesn’t take about automating your business but it talks about there is life away from business or work and how to get yourself prepared to face it.

Adios.
