It’s Friday, so it’s time to chill out and go back over some of the ideas I’ve been talking about this week.

When I first started online marketing, I worked 14-hour days, seven days a week.

I thought that’s what it took to succeed.

Over the intervening years, I’ve learned that the number of hours you put in has little to do with the income you generate.

What matters is consistent, intentional action… repeating the same actions day after day.

These days, I spend around 30–60 minutes a day on content, and that small, steady effort compounds over time, it’s how I have managed to publish daily content (Monday to Friday) for the past 18 months or so and rack up 460 articles.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Like all others, I outlined this article in my head while walking back from the local cafe.
