I've got to say, it saved me a lot of time that I would have otherwise spent researching product reviews. Perhaps in the future I'll use a virtual assistant to do the product research for me.

It is very inspirng to see how your life is pannng out right now. It seems all parts of your life are expanding exponetially. To create that and maintain it requires real person growth which in turn requires changing or imprving mindset. I hope that you will continue to write articles like this one about mindset. There are things that you are doing and learning now which may be less obvious to you as you continue along your path. I think it is extremely valuable for you to share these tales of transformation. From the comments others obviously agree. Congratulations on your expanding success, and thank you for sharing a little bit with us all. Dean Hey Yaro, great post.

To some extend we get this from an industrial age up bringing where a lot of people were trained from the ground up to be employees and to value a steady paycheck. Fear is a big driver behind a continued need to stay connected to that 9 to 5. So, as you said, we look for ways to stretch what we do get because we don't have a mindset or a method to generate more on demand. We go into a scarcity mode when we should be looking for ways to think abundantly and be willing to feel uneasy to change our situation. It is a fundamental shift in thinking and not everyone will be able to make the switch. Thanks ringing the bell because it is a sound we all need to hear.

I never understood why someone would drive around for two hours just to save $5 on a purchase. I already know what I want and I'm going to go get it, probably in 20 minutes. Sure, I paid $5 more, but I didn't waste 2 hours of my time to do it ;) I agree. I never understood why someone would drive around for two hours just to save $5 on a purchase.

Leveraging our assets is an exponential process rather than the familiar linear method of exchanging our time for income. We must learn to think differently. A couple of good examples of high income, but still "caught in a linear model trap" are many doctors and lawyers. An entrepreneur must utilize a "system" mindset whereas she develops and utilizes a system approach to building income, one that works 24/7/365, while she is busy doing other things. I favor a "multiple streams of income approach" popularized by Mark Victor Hansen. Great post Yaro. Obviously your "aha moment" has taught you many valuable lessons. Thank you for detailing these ideas here. I am so glad you used the word “mindset” Yaro, because that is what is really all about.

I think you need to add into the mix what you enjoy doing, as that will keep you energized. If you like researching then go for it and contract out something else that you don't like as much. Back in the days when I was an executive I had plenty of money to spend to help leverage my time. Assistants, a secretary - caterers for lunches. Now I'm working from home, and been on 'maternity leave' for five years I'm pretty broke. I try to work my time as it is best spent, and ask lots of friends for favors. I also tend to make very quick decisions - which is both my strength and weakness. Great post. I think you need to add into the mix what you enjoy doing, as that will keep you energized.

I like how you gave the example about shopping for cameras. I'm feeling this in some ways myself-- time is a very valuable commodity, and I keep wishing I had more of it. Part of it is I just need to use it more efficiently and know what is and isn't worth obsessing over. Congratulations on the new house and car.

Having a leverageable income is what being a business owner is all about and what i hope to do with my blog.

It really hit home with me for a couple of reasons. 1.) It takes me forever to decide what and where to buy, sometimes it costs me more money because I pass on the best deal to do more research and 2.) I have been struggling staying up late writing content and developing sites. I will be printing this post and putting in my notebook of best practices and tips. Which by the way is only in my head because I haven't had time to get the notebook. This is one of the best posts I have read on a blog. It really hit home with me for a couple of reasons. 1.)

I can still turn a dollar with only 30 minutes on the phone and a few signatures for the Real estate agent and the bank. Time is more important for me.
