Where do you balance all of this like you’re? I like to call digital hustlers out there that are doing affiliate, their own merchants, their own JV is well and so much more like how do you balance where you’re focusing your time when you’re doing all these different things?

2:19  

Yeah, absolutely. Most likely for the most part, my own day is pretty set like I remember I was attending the Air Force Academy, when my dad used to be an army officer in the Soviet Army, like I was born just before the wall came down. And my dad actually graduated, the savour of the Military Academy in Moscow, like back in the late 60s. Okay, so I come from a family of like an army guy who later tried to be an entrepreneur and failed miserably. A school teacher, a music teacher, my mom was a music teacher. My mom’s parents were a nurse and a teacher and my dad’s parents were a school principal, and a Chief Technical Officer at a furniture factory. 

3:10

So, I come from a family where discipline is important, and therefore I was raised knowing that and these values were instilled in me so even when I became an online you know, Nomad, my life did not actually resemble one over Nomad like a typical affiliate. Nomad is the kind of somebody who was like, in a different country every other week. You know, live in huts or Airbnbs. Right? Like they kind of just go to Burning Man and Airbnb’s everything. I’m like the complete opposite of that very boring life routine like house two kids, wife, two cars in the driveway. You know, the kids’ gardener comes in every other week to do my, you know, to do my lawn, sure. So, but in between, I do get to have amazing experiences. Obviously, I don’t worry about the money. The inflation doesn’t bother me because of the upcoming stock market crash everybody’s talking about this. It’s just you know, it’s a different life, it’s just a lot more peaceful. You know, there’s less stress about finances, my kids can attend private school. You know, like, I’ve actually been counting like, I spent more on private schooling in the last few years on my kids than, you know, than my parents spent on rent in their entire lifespan in Israel. It was kind of, but I also moved my family out to Toronto. 

4:37

So, I used to live in Israel, but now my family like me, my kids, my wife, we live in Toronto, my parents are still back in Israel. And there’s really not much of a balancing happening simply because I wake up early, having kids you have to, because if you don’t wake up, they’ll wake you up. Because for some reason they just, you know, 6am They’re like up and running around. So, I start working pretty early, I start working maybe 7am. But then I’m done by 2, 1pm. Depends on if I’m feeling it today, maybe if I’ve got an interview like this, which I would also consider work, although it’s very fun too, I’ll do it in the afternoon. But for the most part, my days are pretty balanced. Because somewhere along the way, my mentors taught me how to properly manage my time, because the thing the So, advantage, but also this advantage of having an online business is that you can work whenever you want, I just started and I was working two-day jobs, I would work on my online business late at night, sure. But when I switched, you know, to, to full time online, you know, then I could set my own hours. So, I was able to really get a hold of my calendar. I learned to schedule things including time meetings, sometimes I’ll schedule an appointment with myself just because I know I need to get something done.

6:03

Now if I’m traveling that’s a bit more challenging, like this weekend, I’m going to be traveling to LA and then driving to Palm Springs, there’s going to be a three day Rock Festival in California, and it’s going to be it’s going to be Guns and Roses, Judas Priest for AC/DC, Metallica and, and someone else. So that’s like a big deal to me, because I’ve wanted to see AC/DC live. It’s on my bucket series, it’s like a bucket list that I have. And it’s like number five on the bucket list. Because it’s my all time favorite band. So I’m gonna go there and I’m the weekend I’m going to spend in California so I’m probably going to be going to the concerts you know in the evening but during the day, wake up maybe do couple of hours of work and then just hang out you know, maybe go and get a massage or whatever. And then and then hit the festival so it’s very flexible, I guess is what I’m saying. And no matter who you are or what your work habits are, you can fit it into your lifestyle.
