I was thinking today that something that I may try for 2009 is this.  Work like a crazy person until I reach the $ number that I feel I need to survive for a year and then take the remaining time “off”.  Go on a mini-retirement, read a book, etc.

So in January I am going to do just that.  I am going to start to build a strategy that I can use to gain the income that I require in a short amount of time.  Like the 4HWW disciples say, what you do for your life should not be the same as what you do for work.

There are a couple of ideas that come to mind right off.  One is to build my online business to the point where active involvement will see rapid growth in profits, but a slow monthly decline when I stop being active.  Another is to go freelance with my professional work.  There are a lot of companies out there looking for contract employees for short term work.  The disadvantage to that is that I have to leave the area where I am at now.

There are a lot of ways that I can do it, and I think that it is a great goal.  For now I am aiming for a 6 month year.  So by the time the warm weather hits my home town, I will be winding down for the year.
