Trading Time for Money

most of the people are doing it.
the only difference is, how productive and effective can we be?

you are paid for your time and work.
you can be working and get paid.
you can be at work and appear working and, still get paid.
alot of people are trying to break away from the cycle of a eight to five job.
alot of people are trying to be in a job that they really enjoy.

not everyone is that lucky.

so. i have my own business.
im a business owner.
my job is to maximize revenue/profit with minimum resources/expenditure in the shortest time possible.

like they said, time is moneY!

if i were to use a growth matrix to describe my biz condition right now.
it would either be a Dog or Question Mark (slow and breaking even, cash consuming).
i am spending more than 10 hours at work and thats the result so far.

where are the Cash Cows and Stars?
(the ones that makes lotsa $)

so right now, i am very frustrated because i feel that im chasing after Stars, and im getting Dogs.
and the frustration is eating into my system.
i find it extremely hard to focus and am lacking in vision at the moment.

God,
give me the wisdom to trade for more with less.
i can do alot more with time.
