Artists and businessmen. Some say that doing business is an art. There are a lot of similarities between businessmen and artists.. Some say that being an artist and running a business are completely two different things. Some also say that these are two opposite things.

I run a digital course creation business and I'm also an artist. I have always found myself in a trap where decision making becomes specifically very difficult. Both sides of my mind are running in two different directions. Sometimes opposite.

The left side of my brain is always calculating numbers, calculating value of my work, measuring the progress towards set goal. Whereas the right side of my brain wants to follow a completely weird direction towards intuition Creating a perpetually existing dilemma in my head.

I believe a businessman with an artistic frame of mind can go bankrupt. And an artist who checks cost value of his or her creation is a commercial artist, not a fine artist.

Bill Gates once said, “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job.  Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” So laziness is  not that bad huh..

Whether  you’re a student or a professional in the workplace, there’s always a  way to procrastinate and waste time, and that to-do list you were so  sure you’d finish by the end of the day, just goes out the window.

With  barely anything checked off of it, you go home at the end of the day  with a feeling of self doubt and annoyance knowing you could have got  more done should you have just concentrated harder and been less  distracted.

I  can totally understand that as I'm a kind of person who likes to finish  each day feeling fulfilled and satisfied, knowing that I used all my  time well and got everything on my To Do List.

But  I am quite lazy and a big procrastinator too..  So more often my lists  don’t get checked off.. and it creeps me, and I feel useless and good  for nothing.

My laziness has given me a tough time tackling productivity at work and at home..

After  spending a lot of time thinking about it and many years of struggle  with my productivity obsession, I realized there are 2 main reasons why I felt I wasn’t productive enough in any particular day..

There is no shortage of people talking on their YouTube channels. On their podcast shows. Promoting and evangelizing this concept of quitting jobs and following their dreams and pursuing passion, and making easy money, whether it is through real estate, youtubing drop shipping or selling digital products. well.. I'm also one of them.

These can all be amazing ways to create freedom in your life. Even though there are some “winner-take-all” effects in these businesses, the odds are actually pretty good if you stick it out long enough.

But there’s the problem! You must stick with it for long enough. How long is long enough? It’s impossible to say. But, you should ask yourself…

Are you willing to work your 9-to-5 job for (at least) 3-5 more years while spending all of your nights and weekends building a passive income business?

If so, great. Stop listening right now and get to work. But if you’re like I was, you want the light at the end of the tunnel to at least be visible. It’s hard to imagine three years from now in enough detail to actually get motivated.

Apart from the obvious financial problems, There are some subtler yet impactful things that you must consider before quitting your job.

One of the sharks in Shark Tank series is Lori Greiner, and she once said “Entrepreneurs are the only people who will work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week,”

While this may be tongue-in-cheek, it is true that entrepreneurs have built a reputation for breaking out of the mold and working hard to live a certain kind of life and be a better person.

I truly believe that joining the ranks of entrepreneurs is the only true path to actually getting what you most desire in life and find the ultimate you and why most self help or personal growth books aren't what they're hyped up to be.

I am not against reading books, Books intend to help, encourage, correct, inform, educate, etc. But, The reader plays a bigger part whether they will allow the book to change them or not.

What could be better than making money without having to do any work?

When you read headlines that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos currently earns over $230,000 per second, it's only natural to start wondering how you too can earn money when you're not working.

Even if you don't generate as much passive income as Bezos, an additional source of revenue could allow you to leave the daily grind of the 9-to-5 workday so you could pursue entrepreneurial dreams or travel the world.

But, generating passive income isn't as simple or straightforward as some of the world's richest people can make it seem to be.

Figuring out how to generate a steady flow of cash requires a fair amount of work.

Even more importantly, it requires that you dedicate your own time and investments in the right areas.

There IS a difference between creating a great course, and just putting content online. Sure, you can put some videos and pdfs online, you can even drip feed them over a period, but that doesn’t make it a great course.

If  there is a single “secret” to succeeding with selling online courses or  with any other business that involves marketing and selling your  expertise, it’s finding and connecting with the audience for whatever  you offer.

Actually, that’s just a part of the secret.

In this episode, I talk about the exact step by step method to attract your engaging audience from scratch. You call an audience loyal, when they know you, like you, trust you and consistently engage with you.
