Ricky Martin’s Blog

I think this is fitting given the recent link to Tim Ferriss and his pilot for his show.

Well I am in the beginning process of going for my MCSE. but at the same time I have always been looking at other ways of making money besides working the usual 40 hour week or more…

A such I came across the book the 4 hour work week, which I had mentioned in a previous post. I like the ideas presented in the book still trying to put some of them in practice. As such I am looking at other avenues to generate some income one of them would be this blog, others I am looking at are online photo stock sites, and investigating a few others right now. Will keep you posted with the outcome of what works and what doesn’t.

One of the other things I have come across in my research over time is also the Bank on yourself concept which is something that intrigued me when I came across it, and there is not that much clear information out there. I will go into more detail on that in a future post as it deserves more dedicated space to that subject.

But at this point as it relates to the Blog, I have already signed up with Google Adsense, and am running a feed through feedburner as well. So far have not seen any monetary results from this but if you have any ideas or suggestions please share them with me?

OK, Listen up everybody, here is a link to the preview of Tim Ferriss new pilot show called trial by fire.

Personally I find it interesting and since I am a fan of his book the 4 hour work week, anyone else might find some interest just to see how this guy thinks. from a purely selfish reason would be nice to win the prize he is offering on his blog site, but on another note I find it a chance to learn how he approaches things and take away as much as possible from that I can use.

all the best to Tim, hope it works out for him, just adds to his fame….

I read this book a little over 6 months ago, it is quite interesting. I kind of stumbled upon after reading a few blogs and finding the book mentioned several times. I then found the website and blog associated with it The blog of Author Tim Ferris. It has an interesting perspective, you have to give the author credit as he has managed to generate quite a bit of buzz for the book, and has managed to get around as result, if you follow the blog at all you can see what I mean as he has traveled quite a bit as part of the promotion of the book in different countries.

I did enjoy the book, and I am trying to take away as much as possible from it. One of the themes that is repeated throughout and is a staple of his setup is to have a business that sells a product that you can almost run on autopilot. Which is something I can agree with, if you can have a revenue stream that doesn’t need you to make it work, that is the way to go! with that in mind you can achieve a lot of the things that he mentions, but probably the hardest part is finding that product or system that works. I know I am still working with it.

Once you can manage that part the rest of it is quite simple to start to put into motion. I have managed to get some of the steps working, but can’t go into too much details yet.
