Where do I read about ideas that satisfy the commandment of time?

[jenna]

I would have thought it would be in the "time" tag but that's mostly people talking about how they spend their time.

It's not in the "cents" tag or "commandments" tag. I found a tag called "commandment of time" and there's only 3 posts there. To me, "time" is the most important of the commandments.

If you buy a Subway, you have bought yourself a job. A harder job that takes up more of your time than just getting a regular job. If you write a book, you write it once and can sell it forever. I want to read about ideas like writing a book, and other things that satisfy the commandment of time.

Thank you.

Wow, I totally misread your post and confused time for control. Brain fart, my apologies.

You don't need to "read about" ideas, you find and analyze them.

Once you're locked on an idea, then ask, "Is there any one entity, person, or corporation that can end (cancel) my business in one decision? If so, what is the likelihood?"

I want to read about ideas like writing a book, and other things that satisfy the commandment of time.

In book publishing, the nemesis is Amazon. If Amazon cancels you, you're screwed. Which makes the 2nd question the effective one to ask, pending the first.... LIKELIHOOD of such action?

Writing novels in the Fantasy realm is low- to no-risk.
Writing books that threaten political ideologies, wokeness, and controversial subjects: High risk.

Same goes for YouTube channels that have millions in subscribers
Is your content a threat? Then you face a Commandment of Control issue.
Is your content not a threat, but just valuable? Then you don't have a Control issue.

Your issue is one of analysis, not about someone giving you ideas.

I think you got the idea wrong.

Time is most of the time the last comandment you fulfill. Buying a subway can be suboptimal, yes. But if you have enough profit in that subway and you can hire a manager then suddenly your a investor enoying passive income.

The reality is that you can fix the time comandment in literally every business with a combination of HR, Software and Capital.
If you want to be sure that your business can fit the time comandment then you need to make sure that you have high margins. Any business where the margins are so wide that you can fit everyones paycheck and your own into them will not struggle with the time comandment. It is in a way the result of scale, which is the result of a need.

Yes, selling a infoproduct is very time independent. In theory...

What if you got yourself a full time job managing your personal brand (the only thing that cant effectivly be outsourced) by having a book and wanting to live off sales from that book and other articles?

Expand your thinking and realize that a business with a strong NEED and SCALE will also fix the TIME component.

I want to read what others have done and then analyze those ideas for myself. If someone posted, "I created a newsletter and it satisfied the commandment of time," I could consider that idea for myself. If I read 50 or 100 of these kinds of posts, that will be helpful in choosing one and finding or coming up with my own ideas.
