Surely she has goals and dreams and aspirations and perhaps these are to do your unproductive chores making her a maid, cook, and errand runner instead of an equal or romantic partner. Instead she becomes a slave... a slave for love, a slave for money but none the less, a slave. Perhaps this is your destiny to be a slave owner or slave driver and she a slave. "

He had a point as he always did.

"Or," he said, "You could assist another in fulfilling their true purpose and at the same time fulfill your own by hiring a professional servant to allow you the time and energy to reach your absolute potential that is forever connected with the amount of time we have on this planet."

I had a lot to think about after he said this... and when I came to Singapore, it suddenly began to make sense.

The other option I had was to take these extra two hours per week day and reinvest them back into myself, my future and my business. If I had a value of $50 per hour for my professional expertise I could covert the 1,040 man-hours to earnings of $52,000 per year and this is a figure that would grow exponentially over time due to increased advertising, promotions and the like.

However, if my value increased or was set at $100 or $200 per hour, then my wealth would balloon to $104,000 or $208,000 per year at a bare minimum. My investment power would also increase dramatically in real estate, stocks or others investments. The houseman would beckon a salary of $30,000 so the investment in my future was a profitable one from the initial looks of it.

 The other option, George said, was to get myself a wife and get her to take on the "houseman" role and in turn, suck her life force dry. "Her energies could be directed into taking care of all your menial activities thus, controlling her destiny and solidifying her purpose as one to support you to get ahead, which ultimately means she will also get ahead but at what cost?

He suggested that when the time comes I hire a "houseman". A houseman is a complete butler meaning the houseman functions as a cook, maid, and is essentially an extended personal assistant.

He asked me how much of my day time-wise is spent on menial duties such as cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning, yard maintenance, laundry, paying bills, and endless miscellaneous errands such as washing my car, returning purchased items and other such time consuming exercises.

After careful calculating, I discovered that I averaged 2 hours per day Monday to Friday in such activities and up to 6 hours per day Saturday and Sunday doing more of the same. This totalled 20 hours per week out of a possible 84 waking hours or close to 25% of my time engrossed in unproductive activities. Multiply 20 hours per week by 52 weeks and the figure becomes a staggering 1,040 hours a year or 43 days or a whopping 6 weeks!

But this isn't just 6 weeks; it is 6 full weeks @ 24 hours per day. Run the math again and we see 87, 12 hour days spent in menial activities. So here I was wasting close to 90 days per year (25% of my life) stuck in a merry-go-round of acceptable living by most standards.

My mentor, whose name is Jorge (George) opened my eyes to the real value of time when I realized I could learn a second language with 1,040 hours of extra time each year, in addition to playing the piano, climbing Mount Everest, learning how to skydive, endless travel and the list went on and on.

When L.L. spoke of wealth he viewed this as total wealth in all aspects of life from health to relationships to money but more specifically in the realm of overall pleasurable living and personal enjoyment.

He saw time as the most valuable commodity we as human beings have and were given. He saw that there was an unlimited supply of nearly everything from money, to jobs, to love, to hate, to laughter, but there was a limited amount of time.

Time was the most limited factor in every pursuit and situation. It wasn't until a few years after my time with L.L. did I fully understand the profoundness of the above. L.L.'s thinking was way ahead of mine as he was more than twice my age and grew up under a vastly different set of circumstances.

I befriended another wealthy individual who grew up as royalty in the Philippines. This gentleman's family owned plantations and had a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars way back in the 1940's and 1950's.

When Marcos came to power the political climate changed drastically for the worse and his father left the country for Canada and had to pay $10,000,000 USD in bribes to get $1,000,000 USD out of the country.

This wealthy friend became a mentor and altered my thinking regarding time compression, progression & life acceleration. Here are this thoughts on this subject:

The word acceleration in every context means to speed up yet what is being conveyed in this writing is to take the slow and steady approach to using the Science Of Time.

Equally ironic is the word compression, which means to reduce the volume of a particular thing, in this case is time, and by doing so we expand your result or the level/amount of success.

The progenitor of this fascinating system, the wealthy man from America, was very much a champion and fan of the Warren Buffet line of thinking in that long term investing is the very best way to build and maintain vast wealth.

Talk with any modern day master in any particular field and they will all agree that slow and steady is favoured for success over the quick and dirty approach to the expenditures of your energies.

The wealthy man from America, an astute gentleman who goes by the name ‘L.L. Chopin", was rather fond of the Chinese axiom, "Every journey begins with a single step".
