I used to be addicted to work.

Not addicted in some clinical, diagnosable sense, but in the sense of: if I weren't spending time with the kids, I would begrudge myself free time. I would think: I should be working on something.

Part of that came from taking pleasure in accomplishment -- thus writing a book, giving a great lecture, completing a project, whatever it was.

I'm sure another part of it came from a sense of having to prove myself, because I lacked natural self-confidence. Here was an objective way I could measure my worth. (This is getting a little more personal and introspective than I expected.)

Not to mention: the money was good. The more I worked, the more I earned.

Nowadays I think I have that beast under control. I travel for pleasure all the time now, more than I ever thought I would.

I still feel that nagging voice, but I am generally able to ignore it now.

But part of the reason I hear that voice is that there are so many things I could in principle be doing to increase the income of the Woods household. I hear a lot about how bad economic conditions in 2025 are, and to an extent I understand that, but from my perspective there are so many ways I could support myself I have to force myself not to do them all.

Case in point:

John Thornhill, the marketer and info product master, gave a presentation several days ago demonstrating how fast someone in 2025 can have an info product business up and running, and it's something that would have seemed like it was out of science fiction even a few years ago.

I could enter multiple niches overnight if I wanted to. In my case, I need to keep my eye on the ball and focus on further building what I already have, but for someone who's been curious and hasn't done anything yet, I promise you'll want to see this.

Your brain will start running in overdrive, thinking of ways you can use John's information.

John's demonstration isn't long for this world, however, so give it a look ASAP:
