WOULD YOU TURN DOWN AN ABSOLUTELY LEGIT OFFER TO GET PAID $90,000/Yr WORKING ONE DAY A WEEK?
I just did. Am I an idiot for doing so? I explain why I said ‘no thank you’.

Steve,
I’m with you! Stick with your gut, your gift, your purpose, your why and your what. Nothing can be more powerful than innate talent. You are where you’re supposed be.
Hey Steve,
For many people it would be a good deal…..but for you it’s chump change …….you have a very valuable brand and reputation ….unless there were other affiliated deals and opportunities that led off of it then I would have advised you not to take it…..plus in the video you say it’s not good for timing…..and would damage your free time …….good decision dude …..ps I’m a huge fan ……and still on my journey ….so keep the seat warm !…….Neil
Thanks, Neil! Appreciate your kind words and being such a fan.
I don’t think you’re an idiot Steve – and of course Jesus said to call no man ‘idiot’ – but yes, I think I would accept the offer you described and here’s why: First, in order to balance my entrepreneurial (aka Lone Ranger) instincts I like the idea of a part-time position on a successful team for the consistent (and considerable) base income, the team dynamic and the other potential growth opportunities. I also like the sense of weekly structure that a Monday ‘work day’ would provide. It would also create a nice sense of urgency – and possible fresh insights – returning to my projects on Tues-Thursday, while leaving me Fri-Sunday for downtime. But hey, I like Rocky Road ice cream and know you might love Rainbow Sherbet (and if you don’t my granddaughter Lucia does), so I’ve got nothing but love and respect for you weighing your values and priorities in your decision-making process. Cheers to your maximum Tues-Thursday impact and success. – JP
