This week's podcast comes from a meeting I hosted recently entitled, "Ask Ray Anything". The original intent of this meeting was to answer questions related to my Accelerated Certification Program, but I made the last-minute decision to make it a complete free-for-all...A true, "Ask Ray Anything" meeting.

If you're an entrepreneur, I'd be shocked if you didn't own at least two books on the subject of time management. I'd be even more shocked if you own a time management book that I haven't read.

I've been fascinated with this particular subject since my high school days. That's quite a few years ago (decades in fact), so it seemed unlikely that anyone could completely change the way I manage my time at this stage of the game.

Then along came Richie Norton, and his book, Anti-Time Management, did exactly that. It's a brilliant new perspective on a topic that is nearly as old as the sundial.

In this week's episode, I talk with Richie about how to "Reclaim Your Time and Revolutionize Your Results with The Power of Time Tipping".

This week, I wanted to tackle a huge question: "Is this the end?"

Spoiler Alert: No. It isn't.

We're dealing with unpleasant realities at this time. Tune into the news, and you hear things like:

• Recession
• Inflation
• High Interest Rates
• the Labor Market
• the Great Resignation
• Bear Market
• Supply Chain Shortages
• War in Europe

It's important to realize that the news media is in the business of selling fear. I don't mean to vilify the media...Fear is what we buy the most of, so that's mostly what they sell.

But, how bad are things, really?

Let's take a few minutes to break down where we are, how we got here, and what's next. 

• [00:00] Intro / Declaring your independence
• [02:05] It's not that bad
• [02:54] The news sells fear (As they say, "If it bleeds, it leads.")
• [03:50] What really happened
• [05:50] The housing market (according to Dave Ramsey)
• [07:09] For those under 35...
• [08:20] Tips on beating inflation
  • [08:47] Get a side-hustle - Tax advantages for owning a business (legal, moral, ethical ones)
  • [09:21] Copywriting - the BEST side-hustle
  • [10:30] Can I train others to do what I've done? (case study: Dawn Apuan)
• [18:30] You can do this on your own (it just takes longer)
• [19:23] We're taking applications now - visit https://rayedwards.com/sidehustle
