“You can be on line but off track.”
I first heard this said by Jim Rohn, and even back when he said it he hit the nail square on the head.
In another story he related a story about a friend who was prone to TV. Let’s call the friend Mark for the sake of this story.
He asked Mark how much his television set cost him. Mark proudly boasted he snatched a bargain for just $400. Jim turned and said that that was not right, but the friend insisted the widescreen wonder was just $400.
Jim pointed out he was not referring to cost of ownership, but cost of use. Taking Mark’s talents and aptitude into account, the time taken in front of the box rather than pursuing other wealth creating activities was probably costing him over $40,000 a year.
Cost of ownership vs cost of use...
