9-to-5 labour vs micro-labour

5:00

Micro-labour refers to people who "work" for you, but not 8 hours a day.

They may work for you one hour per week or one hour per month. Hence, "micro-labour."

(You can see HERE how I recruit business agents who then work for me.)

If you are interested in becoming rich, you have no choice but to recruit people who then work for you. Either you recruit 2 people who work 40 hours per week for you, or 40 people who work 2 hours per week for you.

The result is the same: 80 man-hours.

Without this "labour leverage," it is quite difficult to create wealth. Author Robert Allen talks about the ideal business as being "employee-resistant" (i.e. it has no need for employees), but that is quite hard to achieve.

So how do you recruit micro-labour?

Linkedin.com is one place to go. There are tons of other websites or services where you can connect to other people in order to serve as one another's micro-labour.
