Goodbye, Nights and
Weekends?? Most Americans believe the 9-to-5 workday no longer
exists, according to a survey by Management Recruiter
International. Of the more than 3,500 executives polled, 61% said
the traditional workday hours have disappeared. Many people
don’t even look forward to weekends because they no longer
exist. As more people gain more control over when and where they
work, it seems neither the workday nor the workweek have a
distinguishable beginning or end.
This is another of those blessing/curse things. We welcome the
flexibility that technology allows but the breakneck speed many of
you know in business is further blurring the line between
work/home/family/leisure.
Already workers from the factory floor to the executive suite are
on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Many professionals like
real estate agents have convinced themselves that to be competitive
they must be available 24/7. Many have cell phones, lap tops, and
pagers within reach at all times. I see people in church who are
text-messaging and Twittering during the service. I don’t
really think they are absorbing the intended worship experience.

Each week I create a new online radio podcast
— that you can hear in iTunes or at the 48 Days Online Radio
Show link below.
I begin this podcast by sharing about a lunch meeting with an
up-and-coming music star in Nashville. Then I spend the rest of the
time dealing with this all so common question – How can I possibly start an idea of my own
without “enough” money? We had 4685
questions submitted for our recent 212ºConnection teleseminar.
Probably 800-900 dealt with this issue. Here’s just a
sampling – then you can listen to my reasons for moving ahead
even if you have zero money!
1. I have worked for a single employer for 30 years. I can retire
now with half of my present income with no benefits. I need to earn
enough money to make up the difference plus health care for my
family(wife and 4 kids ages 6 to 13) The idea of self employment
sounds like a great adventure from the present torture of my
current job. I am 49.
2. My greatest concern is that we have so much debt that I feel
like we will never get out of it so that I can pursue my dream of
owning my own business.
3. I need cash flow and looking for that is interfering with
building my business - a bit ironic.
4. How do I transition from employee to entrepreneur without losing
income.
5. My greatest concern is that I will be able to provide income for
my family.
6. I have an idea of a business I want to invest in when I save up,
but I keep hearing that I can start a business with no capital. But
without the structure of the pre-set up business, I'm not sure I
will ever actually follow through...
7. My idea is good but what is stopping me is my credit. I don't
think I can afford the start-up cost.

A farmer went to town
to buy a pickup truck that he saw advertised in the paper for a
great price. After telling the salesman which truck he wanted, they
sat down to do the paperwork. The salesman handed the farmer the
bill, and the farmer declared, "This isn't the price I
saw!" The salesman went on to tell the wise old farmer how he
was getting extras such as power brakes, power windows, special
tires etc. And that was what ran the price up. The farmer needed
the truck badly, paid the price and went home.
A few months later, the salesman called up the farmer and said,
"My son is in 4-H and he needs a cow for a project. Do you
have any for sale?" The farmer said, "Yes, I have a few
cows, and you can take your pick for $500.00 apiece." The
salesman said he and his son would be right out. After spending a
few hours in the field checking out all the farmer's cows, they
decided on one and the salesman proceeded to write out a check for
$500.00.
The farmer said--------"Now, wait a minute, that's not the
final price of the cow. You're getting extras with it and you have
to pay for that too." "What extras?" asked the
salesman.
Below is the list the farmer gave the salesman for the final price
of the cow..........
BASIC COW...............................$500.00
Two tone exterior..........................$45.00
Extra stomach...............................$75.00
Product storing equipment..........$60.00
Straw compartment....................$120.00
4 Spigots @$10 ea......................$40.00
Leather upholstery......................$125.00
Dual horns.....................................$45.00
Automatic fly swatter....................$38.00
Fertilizer attachment..................$185.00
GRAND TOTAL......................$1,233.00
