 Hey, our Fisher here in the car, obviously. And I wanted to talk to you about side business ideas. But more importantly, I wanted to talk to you about how to make time for them. That is the biggest issue that I see with people nowadays is that they want to do this stuff. I mean, they, and you know what? Maybe they've even got some ideas, but the time. I mean, oh my God, the time, the time, the time. And I wanted to share with you a couple of things you can do, because I kind of wanted to share with you my story, because I ran into the same thing. I knew I wanted to start a business. I knew that, that I had. And you know, I had some OK ideas. The original ideas I started off with, I don't even do anymore. And you know, the original ideas was I was selling cell phone cases on eBay. And I failed miserably at it. But you know, let me get back to my point here. The point is, how do you find time for this stuff? Now my situation was that I was a single dad. I had my kids full time. And I'm 24, 7 every single day. And at one point, I actually had to hire somebody to watch them so I could work, which was a pain. But you know, you got to do what you got to do. And in my job, I would get there at like 7.30, 8 in the morning. And I would get home at maybe 7.30, 8, 9 o'clock at night. So as you can see, I had full days, right? And it was kind of tough. And I worked, you know, five, well, not really five. Usually six or seven days a week, because I was in a retail situation. And that's just what it required. And I was a manager in that. And you know, every night, I would say, dang, I wish I could start a business. Man, I wish I could start a business. But you know, there just wasn't enough time in a day. And it was like, you know, when I got home, I had to spend some time with my kids and you know, had to get them in bed and you know, maybe feed them something, talk to them about the day, do that. In the mornings, I had to get up early, get them going. So they'd get off to school. I would drop them off, do whatever I had to do. So, you know, when I looked at my schedule, I was like, well, this just doesn't allow for me to start a business. It just doesn't. I mean, my situation is I'm a single dad. And then every now and then I would get a day off and I was on the rescue squad. I was at EMT on an ambulance and I would spend that time because I thought it was enjoyable actually and it was crazy, right? And I would go pick people up who were you know, shot and stabbed and car accidents, you know, on that ambulance. So if you look at that situation, you say, well, there's no time to do anything. And JR, maybe you do get it. You know, maybe, you know, I don't have any time either. So, you know, I would like to start this business and I hear you doing these videos, but quite honestly, you know, I've got all these great ideas, but quite honestly, I just can't do it. There's not no time for me to do this stuff. And what you really have to do because I was in that situation is you have to look at your time. And you know, it's not the amount of time you have and it's not time allocation either because you can't allocate time. There's 24 hours in a day, that's it. And that's kind of a cool thing because there's 24 hours for everybody. It's not just me, it's not just you. Everybody has the same amount of time. But how we spend that time is really crucial. Now, let me kind of walk you through what I did. I got up in the morning, got my kids off to school, I got to work, you know, I got home in the evening, I got them fed, I got them in bed. And I literally didn't have any time, but for maybe an hour or two of TV and then I would fall asleep. And I did that every day. And, you know, it was frustrating because I wanted to work on this business. So, one night I clicked on the TV and I was looking at it and I was like, wait a second. I've got like an hour or two before I'm gonna go to sleep. And maybe I could use that hour. So I turned off the TV and I started doing a little research online and which was time consuming for me because I can't type and to this day I can't type. I'm kind of like hunting peck. And I worked for like an hour, something like that. And then I turned the TV back on, I went to sleep. And the next night I got home and I did the same thing except the second night, the second night I did not turn the TV back on. I just worked until it was time to go to bed. And I was still researching and doing all this. And I got in a habit where, you know, I thought, well, you know, TV's not really doing me any good. You know, if it's news, then it's gonna be stuff that's bad. And if it's like a sitcom or it's a situational thing or a drama, what you're essentially doing is you're watching other people live their lives that you don't even know. You're just watching them live their lives. Now that may seem enjoyable to you but what you're doing is you're stealing this time that you could invest in your own business. And it doesn't seem like a lot. You know, I mean, an hour doesn't seem like a lot. Two hours doesn't seem like a lot. But it builds up. And, you know, it also builds up in the negative direction. If you start watching TV for an hour or two a day, after a while, you know, you've wasted just hours and hours and hours. I mean, tell me the show that you were watching on Wednesday, four years ago. Bet you can't. So you're just gonna forget about it anyhow. So what you need to do, which you have to do if you were in a situation like I was, where you really don't have any time, is every moment has to be accounted for. You've got to really think about what you're doing. At lunchtime, you know, people would leave work and, you know, go to lunch. Sometimes I didn't, you know, normally, but you know, sometimes I would. And they would go to a lunch and they would take an hour or whatever and come back to lunch. What I started doing is bringing my lunch, going out to my car and eating a sandwich in five or 10 minutes and working on my business. There's something you could do. You know, how much time do you spend eating? It really doesn't take long to eat. It takes about five minutes to eat. In that other, you know, 55 minutes, what could you do? And that's exactly what I did. Now, here's the interesting thing about this, what I'm telling you. When I got home late at night and I started spending an hour or two on my business, I got to where I was staying up a little bit later because I was interested in what I was doing and it was kind of fun. And I got to where I would start at like, you know, 10, 11 o'clock at night and I would be up sometimes to two, three, four in the morning and I still had to be at work at 7.30 in the morning. Now, you're gonna say to yourself, well, you said, well, JR, weren't you tired? Yeah, yeah, I was tired, but it doesn't matter because I had a goal in mind and my goal was to quit that job and get away from that boss. So, you know, what it really comes down to is you do have enough time. You do have enough time. You know, I read the other day that The Rock, who is one of the most popular, you know, movie stars on the planet right now, gets up at 4 a.m. every day and works out. How many times have you gotten up at 4 a.m.? And you say, well, if I had his money, I'd do that. Well, no, it doesn't work that way. You have to put in the time first and then the money will show up. It's just the opposite, okay? It's, you know, I've heard people say, well, I'll work harder on my job if they start paying me more. Craziness! Why would they pay you more if you're at work at a hard? They wouldn't do it. So you have to put forth this effort in your business and you may say right now, well, I don't even know what I would do. I don't know. Get online and start looking at stuff. Look at things you're interested in. Look at other businesses. You know, I have several courses. You know, grab one of those courses. It'll walk you through all the stuff you need to do. And this isn't a commercial for my course. This is me just trying to help you out. But man, you've got time. Why? Because everybody has the same amount of time. It's just how you spend it and how you let it be used. Okay? So, you know, if you're texting back and forth with a bunch of friends all day long, that's time that you could use to put into your business. If you're going online on Facebook and you're commenting on a bunch of social posts that do you know good whatsoever, that's time that you could put into your business. You know, if you're emailing back and forth a bunch of dumb things and memes and pictures and jokes, that's time that you could put into your business. Don't waste your time because one day, you will be 100% out of it and it'll be all over and you won't have really any time. You say you don't have time now, but one day, that's going to happen. You really won't have time. So, take it to heart. Please do what I did. Take your time and adjust it just a little bit and invest it in your business and invest it in yourself.
