The Seven Hour Week Life Style

Since I first read the book The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris and I got fascinated with entrepreneurship and business.

I finally believed that I can be one of these entrepreneurs the world is looking at those days.

I remember at my early professional years I’ve always hated business and even the name of it.

Bad Businessmen and Poor Employees

I’ve always looked at business men as being either greedy men or as exhausted persons wasting their lives working hard for some bucks every month.


I’ve always wanted to keep working only on the technical side of profession as a simple employee. At the same time I felt that those business men only wanted to take advantage of the technical working guys working as their employees.

After long time of working as an employee for those businessmen I realized the mere fact that most people don’t.

Being an employee for your whole life is not a motivating thing especially if you have an ambitious soul that loves freedom and creativity. 

Being a full time employee simply means that you are giving away your freedom, ability to make decisions and the control of all your life into the hands of other people as way of making living in a form of monthly pay check you receive every month.

How can you see it in yourself?

Some people may think I am exaggerating when I say that being an employee is the last free choice you make n your life at the full time job. But you can test that yourself.

You can actually notice how you are not able to make choices as you indulge in whatever job you are.

You must beg for a vacation or for a raise from your manager. You have to be at the mercy of others if only you thought that you would take your family on a long time vacation abroad. Some of your colleagues might not like that you take a week vacation to travel or for leisure.

Even if you finally have that spare time on an unexpected vacation or on the weekends you may find your mind wondering what to do. How can you spend your time without feeling board?

I know, most of the people spend their weekends running to fulfill their families’ basic need or go with the kids outside. Even if all that is not needed anymore you end up have all those questions of what I can do to fill my time. That’s why people either try to spend their weekend watching TV or staring at the ceiling enjoying doing nothing.

Trained not to choose

And after thirty years of working as a full time employee on a single job you find yourself having to retire and meet that new challenge of making use of your time.

I can see most of the people just refuse to retire because they have no other lives outside their jobs. They cannot make free will choices of what they can do and what they can’t because they simply aren’t trained to that.

Instead, they are trained on waiting for others to tell them what to do and what not to do.

The escape

So what can you do to save your life from the destiny?

If you are like most of people who enjoying living inside the matrix and feeling satisfied with knowledge that we have to let others make choice for us that’s fine.

If you are the type of person who doesn’t see any hope of making anything outside his daily job until he retires or until he dies that’s your choice and I’m not going to try to convince you by the opposite.

But I’m only taking to people who need to make something different in their lives. The kind of people who feel that thing outside but they cannot find it.

Those people like Neo in The Matrix who have felt that there gotta be something outside that Matrix that we can see and feel.

What to do?

If you are on the start of your professional life then you need to start right now. You need to enhance your skills and make some experience doing work for yourself and for others.

If you are at the middle of your professional life then it’s never too late to make a change.

The best time to start making a change was twenty years earlier and the second best time to do it is now.

The Seven Hour Week Strategy

My strategy is very simple. You need to dedicated part of your time on a daily basis. You’ve got to make that time of your life as important as your daily job. You then make that time of your life the time of being alive.

Just take that time to make whatever you really want to do. And if you cannot find out what to do I can understand. I’ve been their. I know what you are feeling right now.

Then you can make that part of your time a time to train your brain to make decisions until you are able to know what to make exactly.

My approach is simple. I dedicate an hour of my day to make something I do for myself, to read, to write, to draw, to design or to draw.

I make that time so valuable to myself. I make it worth. I make it counts to my life.

Even if you make that time longer on some day like an couple of hours or more, then you also need to make that time everyday and just don’t drop it and say that you can make it on another day.

This daily basis makes your mind engaged on a timely recurrent routine. Just as you work for your employer you must work for yourself or even better.

What if you just drop one day?

Some people might think that they have to continue forever and if they drop one day that’s going to be the end. In fact this belief might be the first reason not to start at the beginning.

But what if you just had a problem on one day and couldn’t make that time for a strong excuse?

You need to grab yourself and take action to return on track.

Seeing those seven hours on a week at the end of the month and finding how they can make a change in your soul and skills and will engage your mind to elevate.

You need to make that choice right now and start to take action.
