“By using money as the scapegoat and work as our all-consuming routine, we are able to conveniently disallow ourselves the time to do otherwise.”  - Tim Ferris

In this episode we continue to deep dive Step 1 of The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris and discuss what the New Rich already know - that everything popular is wrong. The truth is….

• Interest and Energy are cyclical. By working only when you are most effective, life is both more productive and more enjoyable.
• Less Is Not Laziness. Do less meaningless work, so that you can focus on things of greater personal importance.
• The Timing Is Never Right. If it is important to you, do it now and course correct along the way.
• Things in Excess Become Their Opposite. Too much, too many, and too often of what you want becomes what you don’t want. 
• Money alone is not the solution. Busy yourself with the routine of the money wheel, pretend it’s the fix-all, and you will create a constant distraction that prevents you from seeing just how pointless it is.
• Emphasize Strengths, Don’t Fix Weaknesses. It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor.
