Comments on: Would You Trade 4 Hours for One Million Dollars? http://blog.entrepreneurthearts.com/2009/11/25/would-you-trade-4-hours-for-one-million-dollars/ Innovating Through Artistry Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:43:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: David Cutler http://blog.entrepreneurthearts.com/2009/11/25/would-you-trade-4-hours-for-one-million-dollars/comment-page-1/#comment-1263 David Cutler Tue, 01 Dec 2009 04:05:13 +0000 http://blog.entrepreneurthearts.com/?p=9574#comment-1263 On the contrary, I feel confident that many of them will (aside from the ones who told me they wouldn't, like the student in the story). But life gets busy, and we have to make choices. Many people (myself included, at times) have a hard time prioritizing what we know is important, because so many seemingly "urgent" tasks take over. In other cases, people don't look to save themselves and make positive pro-active decisions until things get really ugly. But the offer is out there now.
