I recently had a big decision and made that standard list. But then I took it one step further and asked myself… “which of these pros and cons actually matter?” Suddenly the list of twenty was reduced to one major pro and two major cons.

You know what? The one pro actually outweighed the con and I went forward with the decision. Give it some thought the next time your brain is in stuck mode.

If you know me by now, then you certainly know I’m all about time off. That’s why my working model is four days on, three days off. However, I also use August for a very important piece of my business… recalibrating.

That’s right, I dust off my goals from January to see what’s on track and what’s off kilter. I know that when Labor Day rolls around, I’ll have four months to reach or miss my goals.

So what happened to your 2010 goals? Do you even know where they are? Did you ever write them? It’s not too late to make a push this year, so find or create goals and get ready to ready, fire, aim through the remainder of the year!

What does success mean to you?

Success goals may change, but once you CHOOSE
you will start to see more ways to succeed.

How many hours do you spend at work every week? Is it 35, 50, or maybe even 80? Add on evening conference calls from home, late night blackberry emails from bed, plus weekend work catch-up time and you just might be spending 50% or more of your week on the job. Add-in sleeping time and your week is spoken for before it even begins. Have you ever wanted to cut those working hours in half without sacrificing money? What if I told you your income could double or triple while still dramatically cutting your hours on the job? Do I have your attention yet?
What I’m about to share in The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Working Less and Earning More is not a get rich quick scheme. It’s also not a book about reading tea leaves to choose your lucky lottery numbers. You won’t be advised to try out for game shows or convince your parents to bequeath your inheritance early. You won’t read about hot stock tips to quit your day job and become a day trader. You won’t be trolling beaches with a metal detector hoping to score a rare coin.
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Working Less and Earning More is a practical, clear, and most importantly attainable game plan for reducing the hours you spend on the job while maintaining or raising your income. Whether you work in Corporate America, run your own business, or work as a freelancer, this is your personal guide to a life of financial security and ample free time. I know you’re thinking you can’t have it both ways. Either you put in long hours to build wealth or you live more modestly to support a lower income job.
I’m here to break that mindset and prove to you that high income and abundant leisure time can co-exist. I’m living proof. I more than doubled my income in half the working hours after I left Corporate America to follow the very plan you’ll learn in this book. Today, I maintain this income working three or four days per week maximum. You know how you look forward to long holiday weekends? Well I get one of those weekends every week of the year and you can too.
So what’s the secret if you don’t need to buy a metal detector, audition for Wheel of Fortune or load up on lottery tickets? The key is asking yourself two fundamental questions. How many hours do you want to work each week and how much money do you want to make in those hours? Answer those two questions and you’ll know in minutes if your current job can support a working less, earning more lifestyle. My Corporate America job certainly didn’t stack up and that’s why I changed my approach to generating income and enjoying free time. I hope to take you on the same journey through this book.

So let’s make some money without burning the midnight oil!

Unfortunately, a funny thing happens to me the day after vacation ends. Despite my best efforts to hit the ground running my mind is not ready for all-out fully-focused work. It’s almost like my brain forgot to come back from vacation.

Over time I’ve come to accept this first day brain lock as the natural part of vacation return. I no longer put high expectations on myself for day one. Instead I use it to catchup on small ticket to-do’s and rerack the rest of my week.

So now my new goal is to hit the ground running on my work… but only after a 24-hour waiting period as my brain returns to it’s rightful place.

One byproduct of the current financial turmoil is that hardly a day goes by without some pundit coining a new name for the upheaval. The Second Depression, Great Recession, and Nightmare on Wall Street are just a few that have been bounced around. But whatever name we finally end up with, it is certain to be a turning point in how work is organized. And while the emphasis understandably has been on the pain, economic upheaval also presents opportunities as people draw on creativity to reinvent themselves.

In the past, every broad shift in the economy has resulted in reinventing, redefining and reenergizing the workforce. The 19th-century’s industrial revolution, culminating in the Great Depression, transformed an agrarian society into an industrialized one marked by a mobile workforce. Stagflation in the 1970s signaled the decline in manufacturing in the U.S. and the rise of a knowledge-based, service-oriented economy. Finally, the Dot-com-driven 2000 recession marked the explosive growth of the Internet and globalization. Each of these periods represented inflection points in employment opportunities and saw the emergence of important industries such as aviation, petrochemicals and aluminum in the Thirties, and I.T. and biotech more recently.

Certain fields and industries present perennial growth. The graying of the U.S. and technological innovation can be expected to produce high-paying jobs in healthcare and computers. Openings for dental hygienists, physical therapists and physician assistants will jump 30 percent to meet demand, while data communications analysts and software engineers should see employment jump 53 percent and 45 percent, respectively. Openings in education and government are on the rise too. Meanwhile, innovation continues at small startups and big companies, and federal funding for basic scientific research at universities is fostering breakthroughs in biotech, high-tech and Green technology. These innovations will spur new businesses, industries and jobs.

But looking for a job is a bit like going on a journey and as with any journey, it’s good to have a guide. In Jeff Cohen, you have one of the best. He’s successfully made the transition from a corporate job to an entrepreneurial one—reinventing himself, achieving financial security and maintaining a balance between work and leisure time. But like all good guides, Jeff recognizes that no two paths are identical. So he’s organized this guide to let you find the path best suited to your goals, gifts and strengths, whether you are transitioning to a new career or a new graduate first starting out.

Recessions present new challenges but also new opportunities. And it calls on both experienced workers and those first entering the workforce to develop new skills that safeguard them from the vagaries of a shifting economy and enable them to compete in a global economy. Good luck as you begin your own personal journey toward finding a recession proof career.
