Gary Vaynerchuk has spoken in depth about how, if you need to keep your current job to pay the bills, you have to live your passion on your time, i.e., the time AFTER work. Your job ALLOWS you to live your passion during your free time, until you can live your passion ALL of the time. The problem is that everyone is so caught up on YouTube, Facebook, watching tv and talking on their cell phone that they can’t focus on anything important during the time when they can be most productive.
Time is everything and every second counts. If you choose to live your free time with all of these distractions, then you’ll never be able to take action on your goals.
Remember the sheet of paper with your passion on it?
Underneath your passion, create a column for distractions that are in your life everyday.
Your favorite TV shows?
Talking on your cell phone?
Surfing the web?
What is probably surprising to you is how long the list becomes.
You need to start focusing on and eliminating each one of these distractions systematically – so that your free time really becomes a time where you can get a lot of stuff done. You need to understand that these time-stealing activities are sabotaging the very happiness that you long for at your “day job”.
If you really want success, this will be the easiest part of your transformation and it will happen quickly as soon as you realize how precious time really is.
