How to Get Ahead in Life by Working on Weekends!

Well, this advice might be harsh for some of you out there with real jobs from 9 to 5 but if you want to someday start your own business (whether that’s blogging or whatever), you will have to learn working on weekends.

For me, I actually now enjoy working on weekends as it gives me a peaceful time with no one calling me, tweeting me, or whatnot.

I use my weekends to actually not “work” per say but work on new ideas I have or new projects I want to really push.

I actually don’t blog much on the weekends but use this time to work on new ideas that I might have procrastinated on.

So, how can working on weekends help you get ahead in life?

Let me tell you my story. When I started blogging, I used to work at Comfile Technology from 8am to 5pm. Then. thankfully, my boss/CEO was cool enough about me blogging at work too. (as my blog was mainly to promote Comfile products through DIYs and HOWTOs)

I would blog at work, I would get home, and blog again till 2-3AM until I couldn’t blog anymore.

That’s probably why I am still blogging, except now making a decent living from it. (Well, I have a lot of ways to go before I can call myself successful but at least I got my foot in the door.)

Anyways, blogging was always fun for me, I did it because it was also a lot of fun just like I am writing this blog post.

A blog lets your ideas roam wild on the interwebs. (or internet they call it)

If I didn’t blog on the weekends, I might still be working for someone else.

Take Action, Work on Weekends!

If you’ve been putting off your idea for your new business or even blogging, do it on the weekends. I find weekends are actually great for new business ideas and projects as you have all the time to think about.

Think of “work” as “fun”. Or better, find “work” that will also let you “live” your life fully. Find your passion whether that’s basketball or shopping.

Btw, one of my bloggers Jessica and I(we) just launched ShesSmart.com. Check it out, it took us almost a month to get it launched. It’s a “savvy” shopping blog for women.

Part of the reason I am making this new blog is because I have actually just finished reading Why She Buys, highly recommended for all business people, bloggers, and anyone who’s in business. (It’s true, women buy over 80% of consumer goods and buying more every year.)

The new blog we worked on the “weekends” just to get it right. I have so much blogging to do over the week and so many clients I have to support during the week so that is my proof that you can do something new on the weekends if you work at it.

Well, I hope that gives you nuff motivation and inspiration for the weekend, have a great weekend! (It’s 3:15AM here again!)

Also read up on how I won myself a job overseas and brought it back here to the States. (Recession is only in your mind, don’t let skyrocketing unemployment rates scare you. Think of it as another opportunity.)

How to Get Ahead in Life by Working on Weekends!

Last time I showed you how you can effectively raise your focus on blogging by blogging in your car like a my plumber friend.

Well, today let me tell you that a blogger not only works “everywhere”, he/she also works “all the time”!

Today, I couldn’t go to sleep so I took my car and went to the nearest parking lot so I can start blogging. (again!)

Interestingly, I just realized that bloggers work “anytime” they want unlike jobs that only let you work during business hours.

For example, if you work at McDonalds, you couldn’t make money at 3AM in the morning unless you were “scheduled” to work at that time and the McDonalds you worked for opened 24 hours.

In contrast, a blogger can work anytime he wants to, even 3AM in the morning, as I write this very blog post in my car at 3AM.

Plus, I noticed the other day I was at the mall that people at retail stores were actually “not” working most of their day, just sitting on their ass, waiting for customers to arrive.

There will come one day where those jobs will be give to robots who are more suitable to doing “nothing” most of their lives.

So what is the point?

I don’t have a point other than blogging frees you from location and time.

Ever since I have started working for myself, I have realized more and more that “time” is only relative to you.

Now, I don’t really even consider “weekends” real weekends anymore. I simply make my own weekends during the weekday so I can enjoy things without the traffic and waste of efficiency that most people face.

I might be cocky here but I am simply trying to motivate all of you to blog, blog, and blog it all.

I have been asked bunch of times by my friend’s mothers and fathers how to teach their college kids how to blog.

The solution to that problem is very simple actually, just start blogging.

9 out of 10 people can’t do that, that’s why that 1 person makes money blogging and the others don’t.

Start blogging today if you have a passion for freedom of life and work.

My future goals in my blogging business is to eventually set up home offices all over the world so I can travel and blog from all over the world. Well, I will let you when that happens.
