But if you are in that category your strategy will likely be different to what Ferriss is suggesting, though there is still plenty you can learn from him on how to be more effective.<BR/><BR/>And I've admitted before that what you say about your hobby becoming a job and then you need another hobby (which I think was originally said about a man's "mistress" becoming their wife) is to some degree true. Perhaps some of Ferriss' approaches to dealing with pointy-haired bosses (department chairs, Deans, gallery owners etc.) can reduce the downside there too.mOOmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440274434662150925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22517597.post-48905782251357177732009-03-17T18:15:00.000+11:002009-03-17T18:15:00.000+11:00There seem to be so many people writing about how ...There seem to be so many people writing about how to make a living selling on the Internet...<BR/><BR/>BTW about compartmentalizing work and life, not everyone has the luxury of being able to make a living wage at what they enjoy or are able to even actually get paid for what they enjoy. Depends what you enjoy doing and whether anyone will pay you for it. Other people actually believe in compartmentalizing. A guy called High MacLeod who I used to read his blog called it "sex and cash". You have a day job to make money and then you do interesting things in your spare time. Don't mix them or else you will stop enjoying your hobbies and then need to find another.Rafi (S)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103892755392538611noreply@blogger.com
