Less Work, More Experiences

A majority of my work revolves around mentoring want to be entrepreneurs who are tired of living in the “employee” lifestyle and have reached a point in their lives when they are willing to take a risk on becoming either self-employed or start some sort of bigger business or invention. Although I never encourage depending your livelihood on an invention’s success I know scores of people who want to pursue that. This entry is for you, inventor and entrepreneur to be.

Less work, more play. This ideal is pretty simple once you put a few thoughts together. If you spend your days at your job going through the grind, then the commute home to then deal with family burdens or home ownership tasks such as leaky faucet or grocery shopping or if you have a side business you will never get a chance to stop and clear your mind to take in more insight on your activities but you will also not “have” time for fun experiences such as with family or friends or by yourself. Ideas are sparks of imagination trying to tie objects of your life in a simpler format  often solving simple problems creatively but creativity for ideas cannot be scheduled so you can’t expect to have an ingenious idea by simply forcing yourself to think of ideas while you drive, unless the idea you come up with happens to deal with a problem you encounter when driving. Robert Kiyosaki, a world renown author and financial teacher, invented a runner’s shoe pocket from his years of running around his neighborhoods. Steve Jobs notoriously decided to create what came to be the IPod from hating Walkmans so much. You can’t schedule your brains activities but you can create time to expose your brain to different experiences and problems to increase your chances of sparking great useful- million dollar ideas.
