Work Less, Make More (James Schramko)

This is a excellent book and I’ve had quite a few insights I’m applying just on my first reading:
  • Goals. Find the right why and persue that instead of other people’s goals.
  • The concept of an Infinity Project - something you plan on doing forever and that will just keep growing in value as you do so.
  • The concept of 12 week sprints, and pushing anything new into the next 12 week period.
  • Finding a movement you enjoy and doing it every day (I’m still working on this)
  • Many more that I’ll add in here later.

I liked this book so much I contacted James and he’s offered to do a signed book giveaway.

I’ll come back and link to a few threads I’ve created because of reading this book. I’ll also drop a few links where you can buy it on Amazon via MJ’s affiliate link.

In the meantime, just reply to this thread with “Yes, please” if you’d like to be entered into the giveaway contest. If would be great if you mentioned why you’d like a copy of this book as information like that can help the author and others.

We’ll choose a name randomly at the end of the month.


EDIT: Here’s one of the threads I created after reading the book:
