I love you man! Brilliant! You are my hero. I am building a business part-time. Work 12-14 hrs a day! It's killing me, but I enjoy the ride. Please keep motivating me! Regards from Australia, Chris

You're very very right. There are no short cuts to building a quality business that will survive anything. I work work at the University of Montana in Dining Services, starting at 6am most days to pay my bills. To pay for my online presence, I get a 17 gauge needle jabbed in my arm twice a week every week to pay for things like my Aweber and my hosting, etc. I think people a lot of time don't realize what they are and are not willing to give up in order to succeed. Most of the things people don't to give up, (Lost, Madden, Weeds) can be delayed. TAPE that stuff if you can.

I totally agree with you. I've started making bigger and bigger pushes to build my business, and I've made some sacrifices. I've learned to get really picky about what TV I watch. I do 3 hours a week, and I rely entirely on my DVR.

One of the things that has kept me going is something an Army Brigadier General told me in Germany a few years ago. We were demoing a language trainer for them, and he basically said, if he had to sacrifice an extra hour of sleep each night so he could work with the Iraqi's a little bit better it would be more than worth it.

This is a very great post. Working a job, going to school, Making a feature film, starting a wedding film business, and spending time with family. If you want it, you'll get it. Like you said we dont want to talk about the work but thats what gets it done. I think this will wake people up. Have a good day.

You can have both! We are proving it every week with our independent film. I am robbing myself of sleep because I love EVERYTHING I'm doing.

I agree with you 100% Gary! I worked full time and started my design business for 2-3 years before I was able to make my design business a full time gig! Lots of late nights and sometimes sleepless nights in the beginning - and at times it's like having two jobs but it was completely worth it - I have my own design studio now, selling my products all over the world, and my first children's book is out this Spring! YOU CAN DO IT! :)

Good news = I took your advice about this while working at a soul crushing job 10 months ago. Bad news = lost said soul crushing job last week. Benefit = no more soul crushing only soul souring and because I followed your advice I actually have some solid ideas/content. Thanks Gary - as my grandfather used to say - "You're a gentleman and a scholar and there are very few of us left"...

This broad stroke approach is just not realistic for everyone. What if you build a B2B product that is web based and you have to SELL IT? Your prospect wants a web demo at 2PM, but you are working at your day job at 2PM. What do you do? Tell the prospect "sorry, I can only talk to you from 9PM on" Good luck with that.

Try this instead. Become a consultant to a company that has similar customers. Just be careful you are not double dipping. I am doing this now and it allows me to set a schedule that works for both my consultant customer and my own web company. Everyone wins.

Gary, I hear you. I am busting it at my FT gig, but I am working on posting my first software troubleshooter video. It's my way of providing some content to promote my wares, so to speak for my freelance print/web design firm. Doing this, my day job and balancing the fam. is a tight rope act over the 'gator pit. It is NOT easy, but nothing worthwhile is. Some days, though I feel like Norm from Cheers: "It's a dog eat dog world, and I'm wearing milkbone underwear!"

I disagree.

Ok, actually I disagree "partly."

Gary, the problem with your "hustlin' from 9pm-1am" image is that it doesn't paint the whole picture. Yes, you gotta hustle. But just working "the hours" isn't going to bring success. Also, if you're working "all the time" (like 12-18 hour days) there's no way that all those hours are productive. Some of you are counting hours spent surfing aimlessly as work. You're just fooling yourselves.

Here's what I do: if I have the energy, I work hard. If I don't, I rest. I try to eat well. I try to get 6-8 hours sleep. I use my lunch hour to go to the gym for an hour.

People are generally productive in "bursts." Don't force yourself to work from 9pm-1am if you don't the energy to focus.

Doing www.RoyalAnts.com and working full time can be taxing for sure, but I love the website and the people that are working on it with me enough that "work" seems like the wrong term for it entirely. It is time consuming, stressful, difficult, and all the other things that "work" can be, but it creates a sense of accomplishment that very few 9 to 5's can do. So, if you are not in a position to leave the day job, it certainly doesn't mean you should hustle any less or with less passion!

Job that is unfulfilling = gets you down. Makes you tired. But you're right, if you want it bad enough, you have to work while your friends are at the bar or watching some crappy tv show. But also, I think there are some true workhorses that really want to work 18 hours a day on their dream instead of just 8.

That is what I am first and foremost. Among the worst was the green color. Our young and stylish star Siddharth did a hindi movie called Rang De Basanti two years back along with Aamir Khan and Madhavan. Furthermore, intense love between men and women became a central subject in European literature, like between Tristan and Iseult, Lancelot and Guinevere, or Aeneas and Dido. Indeed the word Renaissance represented the rebirth of art and culture it comes from the French word which comes from the Italian word 'rinascita' which has the same meaning.

Absolutely true,
I set up an arts supply company a year ago while working three shifts in a factory. I have a family and all the usual committmenmts but I found the time by cutting out mindless web surfing, watching crap tv and being totally focused on dealing with the business.
It's hard work, no doubt about that, but after a year my business has grown to the extent that it's now providing me with a regular income, not enough to finish my day job but 2009 is the year when I'm expecting major growth.
I've got a real sense of achievement about what I've accomplished so far. I've got things organized now so that i do all the physical work like taking stock and sending out parcels when I'm alone in the house. All the computer work I can do on my laptop sat down stairs with my wife while she whatches tv.

You're right it can be done, but you have to work at it.

I agree so much with this. It takes a lot to achieve goals.. diligence, persistence, remaining joyful, and making sure your time is balanced just to name a few things.

I heard a story about a professional archer who was so good that he could hit the bulls eye from hundreds of feet away then with the second arrow, split the spot where he hit the first bulls eye. Someone said this guy is so good he could probably hit the target blind folded. Sounds impossible one person said. How can he hit the target without being able to see it? then the moral of the story: how can one hit a target they don't even have? You must have goals.

Gary:
Uncanny. This is exactly the schedule I keep in building my web production business. 9-1 AM while working in my "Clark Kent" job as a web marketing manager. I also have 2 young children that I am able to spend time with after work, and put them to bed before starting the night shift in the studio. It is slower, and there are times where both family time and the work time are uneven, but that is no reason why you can't have a healthy climb to the tipping point!

Great post - love your enthusiasm!

I agree. Plus when you have a 9-5, you feel confident and secure, you know you're not starting a business because you have to earn the money to live but because you love what you do. Determination to reach your goal - quit your 9-5 job can be very motivating too.
