Time = The New Currency

This is the current name of this blog. It may change as my thoughts further develop. The whole point of such a name is based around working less and having more. More time to do the things you want to do without the constraints of things such as money. No i am not denouncing having money, in fact the opposite, money allows you plenty of freedom. But how much money does one really need?

Our parents generation was about working hard and then retiring. Our generation is about living now, as we may never make retirement. Why work 40 years and then try and see the world when you are old and potentially ill. This model of employment is still strong and prevalent in today's society, but i feel there is a better way to enjoy the wonderful world we have here right now.

There is no need to come a criminal to make money and retire early, but by adopting a strategy of building "Passive Income Streams" makes work more fun, more exciting and less time consuming. For the last 5 years i have been building my businesses not to be money rich, but more importantly time rich, so i can take my kids to school, so i can take plenty of time out, so i can work just a few days per week whilst the business continues to grow. Again i am not talking about capitalism either, but infact thinking about what you want, and then designing the life you desire.

It really is possible to design the life you want, but you just need to be willing to take the massive action to really make it happen. Are you really up for the challenge?
