How Does A 4 Hour Work Week Sound? Part 11

January 28, 2011

Some people who have their careers taken away from them prematurely are left with unfulfilled career ambitions.  If they don’t find a way of fulfilling those ambitions themselves they may start projecting these ambitions on to their children or other people around them.  This often causes a great deal of unnecessary tension and strife with these  people, especially when those ambitions don’t match that of the people around them.

Now most of you reading this are already self-employed in real estate.  If you’ve been in the business for more than 3 years and you’re making at least more than your last 9-5 job you probably think you’ve forever escaped the rat race and all its miseries.  Think again!  Very few of us started out their career in real estate sales.  Many of us worked many years or even decades in the 9-5 world before getting into real estate.  So don’t underestimate how much those 9-5 years may unknowingly influence how you conduct yourself in your work today.  

Old habits die hard.  Many a bad 9-5 related habit may still be with you still today, holding you back from achieving more in every way with your career and your life.

The goal of The Four Hour Work Week book is helping you identify those old work habits and views, pulling them up by the roots, and replacing them with new habits and views that will boost your productivity so much that a 4 hour work week will be a reality for you.  Not to mention multiplying your present income several times over.

So understand that even if you’re doing great in real estate and making a six figure income you may ultimately still be (to some extent) what Ferriss calls a “Deferrer”.  That is, “those who save it all for the end only to find that life has passed them by”.
