"If you’re a ’Be Your Own Boss’ entrepreneur who wants to command a five- or six-figure-a-month business... without a single hour of overtime,... while actually getting ahead of your work, ... and taking your life back before it’s too late,then this may be the most important message you’ll ever read." An end-of-year "Wakeup Call" from expert Time Management Master Coach Dave Navarro Dear Overworked Business Owner, They Said "Being Your Own Boss" Would Free You ... But Oh, How They Lied! We all bought into the "Be Your Own Boss" fantasy, didn’t we? You know, the one that says that you can set your own hours, work in your pajamas and rake in the millions? It all sounded so easy, and everybody else was doing it, right? But now you know better. Setting your own hours? It’s more like setting 24 hours a day! When you’re a one man-or-woman-show, you’ve got to handle every part of your business by your lonesome. And working in your pajamas? Yeah, right! You’re only doing that because you’re still working way after you should have gone to bed. You’ve discovered that there’s really no such thing as that "4-Hour Workweek" after all. As 2007 races to a close, the seductive "Be Your Own Boss" fantasy is coming crashing down, as business owners like you all over the world are getting smacked with the stark reality that their kids are growing up without them, their spouse hardly recognizes them and all that business-building stress is giving them raging ulcers and viciously consuming every moment of their thoughts. It’s time to get brutally honest with yourself: Don’t you feel the knife in your gut twisting when you’re trying to spend time with someone you care about, and all you can think of is how much work you have to do to keep your business going? That isn’t what you went into business for at all. And it’s costing you more than money, friend - it’s costing you everything you care about. And unless you put your foot down, shout "I’ve had enough!" and take immediate, take-charge, action to turn this situation around starting today, it’s going to cost you big time in 2008. Can You Honestly Say That Your Business Doesn’t Have The Upper Hand Over You? Are you running your business, or is your business running you? If you just bit your lip or started to squirm (even a little bit), it’s because deep down, you already know the answer. You already know in your gut that the reason you always feel so stressed and short of time isn’t because the deck is stacked against you, but because you’ve allowed certain habits to take control of how you live. Habits like procrastination, disorganization, time wasting, a lack of focus ... I could go on, but I don’t have to. You already know endless volumes about what needs to change to transform your overworked, too-often-behind persona into an unstoppable tornado of massively profitable action, the kind of person who gets ahead and stays ahead, and plays as hard as they work. But simply knowing what you should do hasn’t given you the free time (and disposable income) that you’d hoped to get your hands on in 2007, has it? That kind of power only comes when you can get yourself to take massive, focused action and shrewdly leverage every opportunity that comes your way. But you haven’t. You can’t. And it’s not because you’ve failed. It’s because you picked something up from the people around you, from a frighteningly contagious<
