I wanted to know, so I called Guy up and recorded a podcast with him to find out his thoughts on life, work and how to be successful. You can listen to it over at TheBizWebCoach site. He’s a great “guy” :). I met him for the first time at Blogworldexpo in Vegas when I gave my Flip camera. :)

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

liked the music to intro the podcast…. i just wanted to say that however you look at it, still, at one level success is hugely tied with the money that a person makes… but of course there are other areas that are as (or more) significant…
