I’m excited to be heading to Las Vegas on October 13-17, 2010 for the BlogWorld & New Media Expo! The conference itself is on October 14-16, 2010 – but I’ll be there early.
I had a blasty blast last year. I got to meet some cool folks (who have since turned into friends and clients), check out some good panels and sessions, take awkward pictures of Dave Risley, see a Cirque du Soleil show for free, and just enjoy the company of my blogging colleagues.
I decided to do this video series after seeing a lot of comments on blogs I read about there “not being enough hours in the day”. C’mon now. Of course there are enough hours in the day. We, as online business owners and human beings in general, just aren’t intuitively all that great at managing our time. Anything worth having in life is worth fighting for, and having more hours in the day to do meaningful work (or whatever you consider to be meaningful) is worth fighting for.
So this is going to be a series of four short videos. Each will highlight a specific thing you can do to create more hours in the day.
I hope you find the videos to be helpful. I hate seeing people who are slaves to their lives (in one way or the other). Life is better than that. And your online business can flourish even if you don’t feel flustered and busy. Being busy isn’t a badge of honor like we make it out to be. It’s a clue that something isn’t going right at the moment and you need to shift priorities and workflow.
This is the first video in the series. And it’s all about the mindset you need to change, first and foremost, if you want more hours in your day.
OK. So. If you’re in the blogging community at all, and certainly if you use WordPress, I’ve sure you’ve seen the ridiculousness that is grown men acting like fools over the WordPress GPL.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this and this and this for starters. Or check out Chris’ Twitter or Matt’s Twitter. Then come back here. I don’t have the time or energy to rehash it all.
I’m not a lawyer. And also, I’m not a developer. But I’m both a WordPress and a Thesis user (SpendLessOnLife.com is going to launch in the next couple weeks, using Thesis). I have no desire to spend my day following the he said, he said “facts”, or searching through Thesis code to compare it to WordPress code so I can point a finger at someone. I have a life.
