2K TIM’s DEAL: DEFINE what you want, ELIMINATE everything extraneous, AUTOMATE income streams & LIBERATE yourself - live your way

2L DEFINE the rules you’re living by. Want a new life? Live by your new rules.

2M ELIMINATE anything that doesn’t contribute to your dream. Time is limited. Time wasting is your archenemy.

2N AUTOMATE your cash flow. Put it on autopilot and stop turning up to earn it. Start a business to reap your income rewards.

2O LIBERATE yourself! If you weren’t chained to your current location where would you live? Be mobile to be free!

2P Dear Boss, I know you want to hide this book. Don’t be an ostrich! Help me achieve my goals and I’ll help you get yours.

2Q Retirement is your worst-case scenario. Keep planning for this AND have some fun along the way.

2R The New Laziness: work smarter rather than for work’s sake.

2S Information Underload: Eliminate your futile attempt to keep up to date with too much stuff. TV, newspapers, web surfing, twitter…

2T Don’t manage your time. Manage your focus. Only do the things that impact. Eliminate the rest.

2U What’s your time worth? Outsource anything that can be done for less per hour by someone else – anywhere in the world – virtually.

2V One of the simplest ways to autopilot your income is an online product. Pick a niche. Select a product. Test. Roll out. Automate.

2W Get out of the office! Start with a trial one-day per week. Keep adding a day until you’re in total remote control.

2X Stop taking vacations! Start taking 3-6 month mini-retirements every year. Earn dollars, live where it’s cheaper. Asia, South America…

Four Hour JOLT!

2A The Four Hour JOLT! – Derived from: @tferriss #FourHourWorkWeek, Vermillion, London, 2007. Newer edition now available.

2B Big Idea: Our live-to-work culture is obsolete. The Industrial Revolution’s 40 hour a week Deferred Lifestyle has reached retirement age

2D Your Challenge: JOLT the way you think about work and metamorphose the way you live.

2G The 3 Keys to #LifestyleDesign: TIME, INCOME and MOBILITY. Design your life around them! Got it?

2J Is your lifestyle scalable? Time’s limited. How are you going to do more in less time? Solve this to win your prize.

Launching Twit Rapper…

Launching Twit Rapper…
Every now and then you come across a book that truly inspires you.
And, I don't mean it makes you feel good.
I mean, it puts a thousand volts of electricity in your head and sparks a lightning storm of 'gotta do that' ideas.
Well, this book did just that for me!

It's called 'Twitterature'.
And for the Twitter afficionados you'll instantly guess that it's short for 'Twitter Literature'.
It's written by a couple of college students in the US: Alexander Aciman and Emmett Rensin.
They've taken some of the classic literature books and rewritten them in less than 20 tweets -

• Macbeth,
• Moby Dick,
• Crime and Punishment,
• Wuthering Heights,
• Dracula and even...
• Lady Chatterley's Lover

The language is colourful, contemporary and oh so clever!

It made me realise that most of our classic literature is based upon male power trips and conquering women. C'est la vie! LOL!

So, it got me thinking...
I've had people say to me,

'Yeah, Book Rappers good and can you do a summary in a single page.'

For a while there I thought,

'You lazy $#&%@!'

And, now, I've responded with my own version of Twitterature.

It's called Twit Rapper.
It reframes my mission.
It's given me a different reference point and a knife to sharpen my thoughts around what I'm doing.

I'm exploring idea modelling and information design.
I think the whole shift to living online, the Apple iPad era, requires a revamp in how we design our information.
Having a page full of text is no longer respectful of your audience.
You seriously can't expect us to wade through a screen full of text when there are some many more appetising ways to digest ideas.

Can you hear your audience chanting...

• I want it now.
• I want it quick.
• I want it easy.

Thus I will continue to layer the ideas from Book Rapper so you can get it in multiple ways:

1. Twit Rapper will be offered as tweets and a YouTube video for you to watch with leisure.
2. Book Rapper will be offered for those who want more details.
3. And the book we RAP will be the ultimate source for more.

Therefore, if Book Rapper is designed to be read in 30 minutes, then let's do a book in 26 tweets.
That's under five minutes.

So, my newly refined and redefined mission is:

To Accelerate Reading.

Or perhaps, 'To Accelerate Learning'.
Or… help me out here.
I'd love to hear what appeals to you…

Tomorrow's post will be our first Twit Rapper issue.
