My 4 Hour Workweek

I don’t think there’s any secret here – I’m a huge fan of Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income, and I’ve been a loyal reader of his since early 2009 (just a few months after he launched SPI).

If you’ve followed my blog for awhile, you’ve seen me mention or link to Pat at least a dozen times. That’s what happens when you consistently post epic content in the way that Pat does.

Anyway, I wanted to put together a little tribute to him, by compiling some of the many valuable lessons he’s taught.  I put a lot of time into curating this list, so hopefully you find these lessons useful.

There may even be a few here that he didn’t realize was was teaching…

I feel like a broken record – every time a new month begins, I consistently point out that that the previous month went by too quickly.  January was no exception.  (Fortunately, this will actually be a fact in the 28-day month of February.)

I’ve said it before (I think), but I really do feel like I’ve hit the “restart button” with my online journey.

In a good way.

What I mean by this is, even though I still have many of my old, abandoned projects generating a little bit of income, I’ve completely reinvented my approach with the launch of The Daily Interview. The downside is, earnings are going to take a while to build.

The upside is – dare I say – limitless?

When I was brainstorming a new site (which led to the creation of The Daily Interview), I spent a lot time thinking about target audience.

This is obviously one of the first things to consider when creating a new site or business. Without a target audience (or the right target audience), you could have the best idea in the world, and it could still easily fall flat.

OK, you get it. Target audience is important.

What I’m going to propose as THE best way to figure out your target audience is shockingly simple.

2013 is in the books!

What a roller coaster of a year in terms of earnings (over $2,000 in my best month, and close to $200 in my worst).

I’m late yet again with my income report thanks to my focus on the launch of my new site:

The Daily Interview.

Better late than never, right?

December wasn’t a great month earnings-wise, but it doesn’t matter – the earning sources of my past will be nothing compared to that of the future.

I’ll explain…

I’m very excited to finally be able to launch and reveal my new site today.

Before I do, let me just say: Even though this site will be a significant project and require a ton of effort, it absolutely will not take the place of this blog here at My 4-Hour Workweek.

I will still be blogging here on a regular basis as I have been doing for the past four years.

Now, let’s get to the site…

New Year’s resolutions are fun.  The new year is one of the only times of the year that people come up with massive goals – and who doesn’t like dreaming big?

That’s part of the problem.

A new year’s resolution is a great way to set yourself up for failure, I’ve found.  It’s not to say that people can’t live up to the lofty resolution that they’ve set, but let’s face it:

Most people don’t.
