As the SLW conversion and WSE server update delay have received much attention lately, I would like to sway from the tension and focus on more RL matters. In my leisure time, I enjoy reading investment and business books. In the future, I will not make this front page and will only update these in iVentures Volitant’s Blog. Here are a few to mention: - The end product of the shorter deadline is almost inevitably of equal or higher quality due to greater focus. - There are two synergistic approaches for increasing productivity that are inversions of each other: a) Limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (80/20 rule) b) Shorten work time to limit tasks to the important (Parkinson’s Law) Best solution is to use both together. Identify the few critical tasks that contribute most to income and schedule them with very short and clear deadlines. - Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. – George Bernard Shaw - Entrepreneurs are those who make things happen. - Don’t underestimate how much your company needs you. Perform well and ask for what you want. If you don’t get it over time, leave. It’s too big a world to spend most of line in a cubicle. Calculating per hourly rate based on Salary For those who would like to know how much you are making per hour based on your current or expected annual salary, I have provide you with an example for simplicity: Assumptions: Expected Annual Salary: $50,000 Hours Worked: 40 hours/day Time Off (Vacation): 2 weeks Total Work Weeks: 52 weeks Expected Annual Salary / Hours Worked x [Total Work Weeks – Vacation Weeks] = 50 / (40 x [52 - 2]) = $25/hr Over time, I will share certain quotes or excerpts that I find interesting. Feedback is much appreciated. iVentures Group www.sliventures.com
