I've just started my annual two-month end-of-year sabbatical and it occurred to me you might like to hear about a system for taking more time off. Obviously it's not for everyone, but the people who live by it wouldn't have it any other way. Read to the bottom of this email to find out more.

A second way to have larger chunks of leisure time is to create a source of passive income. For thousands of people worldwide that's a Site Build It (SBI) web site. After an initial all-out effort – anywhere from one to three months – successful SBI owners put in a few hours' site maintenance each week, then watch the money flow in as they spend their time doing whatever they like. And with a laptop, you don't even have to be at home to run your web business – you can update your site from anywhere in the world.

There are 2 days left on SBI's current "2 sites for the price of one" special. (Keep one site for yourself and give the 2nd to a friend or family member as a Christmas gift.) So if you're still on the fence about getting online, now’s the time to act. Just visit SBI Christmas Offer.

To find out more about the system for increasing your leisure time, go to Taking Time Off.

And when you've finished reading these pages, please turn off your computer and go spend some time with the people you care about.

See you again in February!
