Time and Money
| Guest post by: Jim Stovall |
Article Overview: We’ve all heard the timeworn adage that Time is Money. Like most timeworn adages, this one— at its center—has a real practical truth for all of us. Most of us go to work each day and spend eight-to-ten hours or more in exchange for a paycheck. While many of us enjoy our jobs, if we are honest or even practical, we will admit that we are exchanging our time for someone else’s money. This makes sense to us in the professional area of our lives, but too many of us miss the time-and-money equation as it relates to our personal lives.

Time and Money
We’ve all heard the timeworn adage that Time is Money. Like most timeworn adages, this one—
at its center—has a real practical truth for all of us. Most of us go to work each day and spend
eight-to-ten hours or more in exchange for a paycheck. While many of us enjoy our jobs, if we
are honest or even practical, we will admit that we are exchanging our time for someone else’s
money. This makes sense to us in the professional area of our lives, but too many of us miss the
time-and-money equation as it relates to our personal lives.
I know top-level executives who come home after a long day at work and spend their evening
doing yard work or household chores instead of spending time with their family or other
recreational pursuits they might enjoy. If you like doing yard work or housework, this doesn’t
apply to you, but we must realize when we are performing any task, the time-and-money
principles still apply.
While we are doing that yard work, we are exchanging quality family time or personal recreation
time for the price of hiring the teenager down the block. In a perfect time-and-money equation,
you should spend your time doing what you do best, and what creates the most value, and results
in the most money. Then you should hire people to do the other things that they do well, leaving
you free to pursue other areas of life.
The same thing that has made our civilization progress over the centuries will make our personal
lives rich and diverse. When people are free to do what they do best, while allowing others to do
the necessary tasks of life, we make progress—culturally and personally.
Think about your life and your schedule. What do you enjoy doing most, and what creates the
most value? Do those things, and use some of your money to invest in buying back more time.
In the final analysis, time is all we have.

Question: What has been your biggest business challenge?
- Regardless of the industry they may be in, it seems all small business owners and entrepreneurs face similar key challenges in growing their business and becoming as profitable as they would like. These can be grouped into the categories of "Time", "Team", "Money", and "Exit Strategy". What has been your most significant challenge, the one that seems to be your biggest hurdle to moving forward and achieving the level of business success (however you define that) that you would like to? If you could have one issue solved in your business, what would that be?
Your insights are invaluable and I appreciate your honesty.
Regards,
Gavin

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community?
- It is a difficult decision to make.
Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both?
If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters.
If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others.
But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
