You can probably appreciate this if you are in the real estate industry as I have been for 30 years.

I know have other income pursuits that I am working on that take up about 10 to 12 hours of my day. I enjoy what I am doing but becoming successful at this new venture has consumed me.

I don’t know if it is the right thing to forsake most everything else to be successful, but for know, that is what I am doing.

When I was in corporate, it ruled my life time-wise. Now that I’m doing what I love, distractions can occasionally bit a bit much. But the lesson I learned is that, if you don’t make time for some of the things you love, life just isn’t much fun and all that money is nice and handy and can be used to take care of things you don’t enjoy doing, but… :-)

I’m finding that I prioritize my time and my money. At this time, sculpting/carving is high on the priority list as far as time and money (incoming) are concerned. But I make sure I have time for friends and to go to events that interest me. Spending is similarly prioritized. If I have a friend who wants me go on a trip with them but I’m looking at a piece of equipment that I really want for the shop, the equipment will win every time! LOL

I’ve also found that I’ve cut WAY back on time wasted on the computer. I actually only allow myself a couple of hours, generally, and that’s taken out of time I would have spent watching tv or something similar. To tell the truth, my tv stopped working for anything but watching movies a couple months back and I ran an experiment (i.e. didn’t buy a new one right away) and found that I don’t even miss it!

Time, once gone, can’t be replaced. True friends, once gone, can’t be replaced. Some events/experiences you only get one chance to be part of. Life is all about priorities.
