THE DREAM IN ACTION

During my adventures in China I read The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. The man is incredibly motivating and thought provoking in his quest to challenge the socially excepted lifestyle of differing retirement to the end of your life. He promotes spreading the fun and the work out and setting up means of income so that this New Rich (freedom of time and money) lifestyle  can be made possible…now.

The book starts with the process of identifying your dream adventures of knowledge, travel, and life exploration. Although I’ve already read through the book, I’m far from finished with it. I’ll be working through the exorcises and likely even the entrepreneurship aspects of the book over the next few months. Tim promotes the idea of a ‘muse’, a business that you own but don’t even run. By completely automating a source of income you can free yourself from having to “deal with it” and become what you dreamed of as a child.

As I brainstorm both my dreams and my potential “muses” I’ll be sharing much of the process/adventure here.

The really fun part is the dream identification process. Let’s start with this.

These guys literally have figured out a way to fly. By putting on suits that turn them into flying squirrels they’re able to base jump and stay airport with control for minutes at a time. This is def on the list. Thanks Mom for sharing this, now you can’t be mad when I do it :)
