TIM – Time Income Mobility

Leave 9 to 5 - Time Income Mobility

While the vast majority of people chase money, the ‘new rich’ have learnt the value of finding an optimal balance of TIM (Time, Income & Mobility) instead. There are 2 major advantages of focusing on TIM – (1) Having time and location flexibility, can lead to your money being worth a lot more (2) Time and Location independence can lead to happiness and content, which money simply can’t buy.

Advice from Masters – Quotes & Tips on TIM (Time Income Mobility)

Freedom Multiplier: Money is multiplied in practical value depending on the number of W’s you control in your life: what you do, when you do it, where you do it, and with whom you do it. I call this the “freedom multiplier.” If you can free your time and location, your money is automatically worth 3–10 times as much.

Mini-retirements: Retirement Is Worst-Case-Scenario Insurance. The New Rich aims to distribute “mini-retirements” throughout life instead of hoarding the recovery and enjoyment for the fool’s gold of retirement. By working only when you are most effective, life is both more productive and more enjoyable. Personally, I now aim for one month of overseas relocation or high-intensity learning (tango, fighting, whatever) for every two months of work projects.

Your path: The question you should be asking isn’t, “What do I want?” or “What are my goals?” but “What would excite me?

Location & Time flexibility: Work wherever and whenever you want, but get your work done.

You don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to.

What if you save for 40 years, putting off all kinds of opportunities, then get hit by a bus the day before retirement? Better to plan for the future while also living in the present.

The new reality is that working at a job may be the far riskier choice.

It’s better to be at the bottom of the ladder you want to climb than the top of one you don’t.
