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.

    Jim,

    What format are you using to upload to YouTube? The images look beautiful, much better than most of the stuff on YouTube. I know the camera is nice but wow.

    Hey Stormy, thanks! I use the Flip cam to record. The trick is to have enough lighting behind the camera, and not so directly “hot” on your. I bounced this light off the ceiling. It’s not perfect, but worked. Then I import the raw .avi file from the flip into Sony Vegas. I do not edit the levels at all.

    Then I render to .wmv files and use Tubemogul.com to upload. Nice and easy.

    The key is lighting. I’m using a “work” like I bought from Home Depot now. It burns hot in temp, but it works. $50 :)

    I’m interested in the lighting you used. You mentioned a “work” from Home Depot. Can you clarify what that is and what you mean by burning hot in temp?
