Creating time leverage (aka doing less work)
What do you do each week that results in less workload every week from now? In other words, are you doing stuff that gives you time leverage? Stuff that will continue to pay back your time into the future, like an investment. To me, this kind of mindset is the only way you can escape
Becoming a digital minimalist
A while back, I listened to a Tropical MBA podcast episode where Dan Andrews interviewed Cal Newport about “Digital Minimalism.” This is the topic of his new book, which I haven’t yet read, but the discussion hit home.

Cheap software that does everything…
Something has been bugging me a lot. I keep seeing people searching for “all in one” software that will do everything for their business.

Getting started with cryptocurrency trading
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to get into buying and selling cryptocurrency.
