That subject line sounds like the start of a bad joke.
But today I'm sharing a story.
This internet business journey has taken me from working with convicted criminals, and dinners with millionaires to breakfasts with a hippy.
Today I want to tell you about the hippy.
I first met him at a private event a few years back. It was a meet-up of online biz owners so we could network and share ideas.
That was what they told their wives anyway. It was actually an excuse for about 15-20 of us to get drunk and geek out about internet stuff.
When the drinks get flowing that's when the real secrets came out and I learned a lot at these meet-ups.
One morning after a particularly heavy night I was sat to the left of a 6 foot 4 bearded Yorkshire man at breakfast.
He went by the name of the Hippy Marketer. He was all about freedom, working as few hours as possible while maximising profits.
So he could spend his day doing whatever he wants. Whether that's spending time with his wife, and 2 kids, or rearing chickens.
I loved his approach to business.
We recently re-connected and he has actually streamlined his business even more and I LOVE IT.
He makes six figures a year only working 3 hours a day, Monday - Wednesday.
I was gobsmacked!
What an absolute legend.
He told me exactly how he does it and my first reaction was
“But if you do a couple more things like this, you'll double even triple your earnings”
His response…
“Yeah I know, but that would mean more work and more complexity. I don’t do this for the money I do this for the freedom”
I can’t argue with that.
He earns more than a neuroscientist, working less than a part-time florist’s assistant.
His rigorous workday is from 7 am-10 am. Completes 3 very simple tasks (if you can read this email you can do it too) and he's done for the day.
Free to do whatever else he wants to do. Whether that's learning a new skill, going boating, or taking his wife out for the day, anything he wants.
I love his approach to business and he has influenced my thinking a lot.
I optimise for freedom and leverage.
The more the business grows I don't want it to equate to more work.
I share my entire process HERE!
If you ever thought about starting a business in your spare time that could replace your day job then outpace it in income while working less.
Then this is exactly where you need to be.
Any questions?
Hit reply and I'll answer them.
Be rebellious,
Jouvan “working on becoming a hippy” Johnson
