Subject Six Industry means water color of Ireland!

 

Industry.  Doesn’t that mean working 80-120 hour work weeks?  Been there, do that!  What about using my time fore wisely.  What about doing the fun things as well?  So, I recently read The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss and will be reviewing it on my website as part of the 24 Challenge and the Power Strategies Monthy Marketing service – 24 Hours Style!  Anyway, read the book, loved it and hated myself!  Why?  I waste so much time.  There are so many ways to streamline and still be productive and successful and then with that extra time, take time to do the things I love.  Like water color.  I was recently in my family home town of Dunmore East, County Waterford, Ireland and watched as a woman artist water colored my favorite seaside cliffs in Dunmore.  Wow!  She said she was just starting to take a little time for it and found she had a knack!  I paid 40 Euro for the piece and she said to her husband, “I must be good I just sold my first painting, perhaps I should of sold it for more!”  How can we find undiscovered talents unless we take the time?  I spend my days doing marketing, helping people become successful online, I am the first woman to pioneer Internet talk radio marketing and yet . . . I may be an artist waiting to be discovered.  I may find joy in other areas if I could just take the time!  My focus this week thanks for Ben Franklin and the 13 Focus Subjects in the Monthly Marketing service on www.powerstrategies.TV is to waste no time . . . we will see how I do but I am definitely going to give water color a try!!!  Kim Power Stilson

Subject Five Frugality Saves Trees

Frugality – Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.

Kim perspective:  think about what I spend and make the best choices

 

Last week I opened up the office closet and found an ample supply of pads, pens, sticky notes, etc., too bad I had just spent $300 at Staples for the same stuff!  Hmmm, I could have spent that $300 on marketing or something.  Did I really need to buy more paper?  I keep talking about going green and using my PDA to write To Do lists and grocery lists – why did I kill more trees?  How many trees do you need to kill to be an online marketing success? ZERO!   I could liken it to a fresh start, clean open space calling out for ideas for the shelves of Staples, or I could employ my version of Ben Franklin’s fifth focus – Frugality – I am working on this all during the week.  So, I guess I need to make a return visit to Staples.  Too late for those trees, but for someone else who really does need paper it will be the right thing to do!  You can visit my website at www.powerstrategies.TV !  Save trees, be frugal!  Ben Franklin just saved me $300!  Kim Power Stilson
