Exploit The Secret “1-Hour Rule” to Build Your One-Person Business
Even if you have a 9–5 job, kids, and a mortgage.
I was sold a lie. And so were you.
When I worked a 9–5 job, I felt that I was too busy. I wore it like a badge. I didn’t have the time to learn, explore, and master my weird interests. I read about the 10,000-hour rule of mastery and got even more disappointed.
If I can’t dedicate 10,000 hours, why bother?
I felt crushed under the weight of this high bar. Every effort felt wasteful. I always wanted to write online and start a side business. But what was the point? So, I gave it all up and focused on my 9–5.
But I realized the journey towards 10,000 hours starts with 1 hour per day.
You have to start somewhere. It wasn’t until the pain of a relationship breakup spurred me to take action. I started writing for 15 minutes. I started reading for 30 minutes. I started building a business for 15 minutes.
I dedicated 1 hour to building my future. Everyday. Without fail.
The results? 4 years later, I’ve now got a $20k+ per month one-person business, a 100k+ audience, and live as a full-time digital nomad across Southeast Asia.
