Over the last decade or so we have transitioned from a labor based economy (make money by the number of hours that you work and how fast you work them) to a knowledge based economy (where knowledge is the key to the kingdom). By knowledge I do not mean education or understanding. Knowledge is the superior capacity to think and act.
We live at a truly amazing time with the introduction of the computer and internet. Virtually everything you would ever need to make a fortune is free!
I recently ran across a site that MIT has offered called MIT Open CourseWare. On this site you can get access to almost every document, lecture note, presentation, and resource that you would as a student at MIT. It is all absolutely free. Truly unbelievable. They have a great business program along with math and science, etc.
How are you spending your time? By cutting out 1 hour a day of TV watching or Internet surfing you will free up 365 hours a year or 15 full twenty-four hour days or 45 eight hour business days. What could you learn and apply in an extra 45 business days this next year? I know I can learn and accomplish more.
