“I would tell young people to start where they are with what they have and that the secret of a big success is starting with a small success and dreaming bigger and bigger dreams…” – John Johnson

Kaizen is a Japanese word that is literally translated as “improvement” – nothing more, nothing less. However, given the common practice in Japan of labeling industrial or business improvement techniques with the simple word, “kaizen” has taken on a whole new meaning to the English-speaking world.

My video review of the Zero Hour Workweek: Get Paid to be You, the new e-book by Illuminated Mind’s Jonathan Mead, and the concept of the work / life balance.

Shoot over to Illuminated Mind and download your free copy of the book by clicking here. Jonathan has a great site with a ton of resources for people who are not content to spend their lives in the cage of conformity.

Please comment on what you thought of the video – both the content and the actual presentation itself. Keep in mind this is only the second video I have ever created so don’t be too harsh in your critiques – on second thought, I would greatly appreciate any and ALL feedback so as not to make an even greater fool of myself in the future Thanks!
