Why You Should Treat Your Time Like Currency

Thanks for visiting Steve Scott Site! Here we talk about building a passive income online business, lifestyle design and how to get more out of life. If you're new here you should subscribe to my RSS feed and get updates the second a new post is published. Thanks for visiting!

Noel from Fitness Philippines is fast becoming a regular poster on this site.  In the past, he’s written a couple of great posts on health and nutrition.  Today he’s going to discuss something that’s near and dear to my heart…the idea that your time is money.  If you’ve ever heard me rant about outsourcing then you know how crazy I get about time management.  So that’s why I urge you to pay close attention to what Noel is about to discuss…

We normally spend things like bills and coins as currency but have you ever thought of time as currency as well? After all, when we talk of using it, we often phrase it as “spending” our time, like we would our cash. What do you usually spend your time on? Exercising? Studying? Working? Playing? Think about that while reading the rest of this article. Continue Reading »

Stupid Guest Post Authors Need Not Apply

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good ole-fashioned rant.  Normally I live in a zen-like state where nothing gets to me.  This was harshly interrupted the other day by a dishonest, stupid person who asked to do a guest post for my site.  Let me explain… Continue Reading »

11 Online Business Lessons from Jungfrau Mountain

I’m writing this after a 10+ hour hike through the Jungfrau mountain region in Switzerland.  This was a pretty grueling experience that stretched the limits of my endurance.  But it also helped me realize that there were many principles you can apply to an online business… some of them good, some of them bad.  So with that in mind, I’d like to discuss eleven lessons I learned today: Continue Reading »

I’ll Quit Procrastinating Tomorrow

Before I came overseas I saw a bumper sticker that claimed, “I put the pro in procrastination!” and I had to chuckle because I know firsthand how easy it is to put things off.

It’s a vicious cycle.
