I believe in the Pareto's Law - Only 20% of your resources are consumed to do 80% of your work. However, in the other hands, 80% resources are wasted to do just 20% of your work. This is the case for me, and increasing my productivity to reduce the 80% waste is not as easy as I thought. Lingering in the 80% waste is highly related to my (and probably your) addiction to entrepreneurship - the unhealthy one, that is... Learning to manage the "addiction" is key to live a productive life... and a better work-life balance. Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thought :) Hi Dali,

Learning to manage the “addiction” is key to live a productive life… and a better work-life balance.

I can tell this came from the heart. I know I am a passionate entrepreneur. I can relate to the feeling of wanting to work hours and hours because you want to go somewhere, but when I realized I had to focus on my passions and align my strengths and talents there, I saw the solution. Don't start anything unless you're passionate about it and don't focus on tasks you're not great at. You really can work minimally if you focus on working smart while working on your passions. Looking forward to reading that book! Thanks, Ivan. I appreciate you, and your wisdom. Dali Burgado Th Ivan,

Don’t start anything unless you’re passionate about it and don’t focus on tasks you’re not great at. You really can work minimally if you focus on working smart while working on your passions.

Looking forward to reading that book!

Thanks, Ivan. I appreciate you, and your wisdom.

I can't see myself working for some big companies (As an employee, I picture myself as... under-performing and too laid back...LOL) Yes, I definitely agree that entrepreneurship is the only way to live the life we dream about. The long hours and risks taken - both seem insignificant compared to the freedom you can achieve. Just don't let your mind overdo entrepreneurship - it will backfire :) Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment, Andrea! Hi Andrea,

I love working in my own business and doing my own thing, I also love encouraging others to do their own thing and create their destiny by being an entrpereneur. I feel it is the only way to really create the life we want and dream about.

I certainly saw myself in the short description and examples you gave out of the book. It appears that there are other people who consistently sabotage and derail themselves, partially because of the sheer number of business ideas running around in their heads. Couple that with perfectionism and you're really toast. Heading to Amazon, or somewhere, to buy that book and start on the road to recovery....and real success.
