Lifestyle Soup is a blog about lifestyle development. The idea is that if you strive to automate as much of your life as possible while seeking to gain more wealth, you might just achieve both, while gaining more time to live your life the way you see fit.

A bit of background

My name is Ray and I live in Seattle. After reading Timothy Ferriss’ book, “The Four Hour Work Week” I realized that my lifestyle was in shambles and completely unsustainable. I have worked for the last 7 years on my main business and was always extremely busy, yet the business wasn’t growing. I started to realize that I was working under an assumption that if I didn’t feel busy, I was doing something wrong. I decided I needed to reevaluate my whole outlook on business, life, and my future.

Since then I have tried to make huge changes by simplifying my life while automating what I can. I have also started pursuing more revenue streams that will be less time consuming. This blog is intended to be both a chronicle of my journey from overworked self-employed business owner to somebody who achieves freedom through creativity, simplification, and determination.

The tips and observations I give in this blog represent what have worked for me. My goal for this blog is to encourage others as well as let others encourage me as I go through the process of souping up my lifestyle. Feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed as well as drop a line when something works for you, or if you have suggestions that might help somebody else.
