They told me (in Spanish) that they would like an opportunity to learn English but they don't have access to classes, since they work 100 hour work weeks just to pay the bills and don't have time or money for anything else.

I try to listen to podcast when I can and I’m currently listening to the 4hour work week (something I have heard A LOT on podcast).

The 3-4 weeks is because of them only wanting the repairs to be done on a weekend when the normal work week is M-F.

Landlord, Jeffrey Taylor, on how to run a rental business with boundaries the tenants can self-act inside of (similar to the 4-Hour Work Week philosophy of empowered delegation).

Now, here are a few of my concerns: I work a pretty hectic work week (it's not unusual for me to have 60-70 hours), so being a full-time landlord simply won't be an option.

If you haven't read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The 4 Hour Work Week, I have detailed personal notes that I am happy to share with you.

Tim Ferris of course (4 hour work week) and Mike Michalowicz (profit first).

I meant part-time as i own and operate another (non real estate) business that takes up half of my work week. 

Are you prepared to work 60-120 hour work weeks for very little pay for 1-3 years while you get your business off the ground with a high likelihood it’s going to fail?

He says don't worry about it.I know what he does.He hates his job so he goes out to eat and goes to the bar and blows his money all the time.I find the more money I make my circle of friends changes.The ones making more money generally balance the budget and have a different mindset than people living paycheck to paycheck.Sometimes I will work with my business until 1 in the morning.I do it because of the freedom and happiness it gives me knowing I control my own destiny.Companies now want you to do the work of 2 to 3 people for the pay of one.If you are working that hard you might as well own the business and get ALL the money.Some people their whole lives is work week to week and collect a pay check.It's all they ever aspire to.I have always been different.I have always been an entrepreneur and love to imagine and create things and push the envelope.On the venting I just go yeah,yeah with family and then I change the subject on them.If they still want to be negative I set a time limit on it.I say okay we will talk about it for the next 5 minutes but after that we are moving on.What I find is even if you show people HOW to change their lives they do not have the will to do it or the courage.What's worse than failing is to never have tried in the first place.If you want something bad enough YOU WILL find a way.
