‘Wealth Isn’t Earned by the Hour’
‘Wealth Isn’t Earned by the Hour’
Jan 18, 2026 2:55 AM

In an informative interview via Christianity Today’s Money&Faith.net, Dan Miller gives good guidance for people to e entrepreneurs. He’s a big proponent of the side business, which could take as little as 5 hours per week. He says,

Wealth isn’t earned by the hour. It’s made with ideas. We tend to associate e earned with hours worked in the traditional workplace. The person who’s making $8 an hour wants to make $10. The person who’s making $10 wants to make $15. But if they really want to change their financial situation dramatically, it has nothing to do with how many dollars they make per hour. It has to do with how they develop an idea.

But part of what Miller is talking about is the finding of one’s vocation within these side projects. Many people start out with a side business, which they enjoy so much and are so productive doing that the side business es their main work. A good part of what Miller does is ask people the right questions, to make them really think about what they want to be doing in life.

As Notre Dame burns, France called to re-set world ablaze
May all Christian believers, particularly in France, be reminded that they must put out the angry fires festering against their faith’s many aggressors in order to ignite healthy joyful spiritual flames – so as “to be as God fully wants us to be”, in St. Catherine of Siena’s words, “to set the world ablaze” where Christianity is nowadays smoldering. Read More… Like most big stories, the world discovered last night’s fire devouring Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral at breakneck speed on...
Study: Socialism turns people into liars
Socialism’s appeal is largely moral, not economic – not just because it doesn’t work economically, but because few people find pelling. Among their exaggerated claims, socialists argue that redistribution of wealth will create more moralpeople, not merely better living conditions. “We must develop among Soviet people Communist morality,” said Nikita Khrushchevin 1959, “at the foundation of which lie … the voluntary observation of the fundamental rules of munal radely mutual help, honesty, and truthfulness.” But does socialism make people more...

5 Facts about Tax Day and income taxes
Today is Tax Day, the day when individual e tax returns are due to the federal government. Here are five facts you should know about e taxes and Tax Day: 1. The first national e tax in the United States was in 1861 soon after the outbreak of the Civil War. Congress approved a national e tax, signed into law by President Lincoln on August 5, 1861, which provided for a flat tax of three percent on annual e above...
The ‘Halloween Brexit’ nightmare or a return to liberty?
Prime Minister Theresa May has extended the date the UK will leave the European Union yet again, this time to October 31. The eight-and-a-half month delay inspired some cheeky Brits to give the interminable process anthropomorphic qualities: the “Halloween Brexit” monster. The endless stalling is “slowly destroying the opportunity of liberty which leaving the EU offers,” writes Rev. Richard Turnbull in a new essay for Acton’s Religion & Liberty Transatlantic. Rev. Turnbull, who is the director of the Centre for...
Does capitalism always become crony?
Mark Zuckerberg has finally admitted he needs help. From the government. After years of shady dealing, data collection, and intentionally designing addictive technologies, Zuckerberg has asked the government to regulate tech. And who do you think will help write all the regulation that “regulates” all these tech firms? Bureaucrats in Washington won’t have enough knowledge, of course, so they’ll have to get it from experts in the tech industry. Lucky tech industry. Now that Facebook and Google, et al., have...
The search for transcendence
Yesterday a short video, originally posted by Forbes a few months ago, popped up in my browser. Called “Finding Meaning Through Travel,” it discusses several people who have supposedly found their calling in a life of travel and exotic pursuits. I love traveling too, and having lived abroad for three years I am convinced of the value of contact with other cultures, but I have to say that the narrators’ quasi-mystical view of travel struck me as misguided. Ben Saunders,...
How the Fed worked before the Great Recession
Note: This is post #119 in a weekly video series on basic economics. The U.S. Federal Reserve controls the supply of money—which gives it a huge influence on the world economy. But as economist Tyler Cowen notes, how the Fed does this has changed since the Great Recession. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Cowen explains how the Fed can change the federal funds rate—the overnight interest rate for when banks lend money to each other—and how that influences...
Learning to love institutions in an age of individualism
In the wake of rapid globalization and widespread consolidation, many have grown weary of human institutions, whether in business, religion, politics, or beyond. Threatened by their structure and slowness, we have tended to detach ourselves, opting instead for more “organic” approaches to human interaction. These “bottom-up” countermeasures surely have their value and necessity, but our modern resistance has also created a certain societal vacuum. Indeed, as our culture continues to fragment—increasingly defined by social isolationandpublic distrust—it is the places with...
Does Central America need a ‘Marshall Plan’?
Julián Castro is running for the Democratic nomination for president. Castro was Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under president Barack Obama, and before that he was mayor of San Antonio, TX. He is currently polling at a little over 1%, and he reported raising $1.1 million in campaign funds in the first quarter of the year. As a Mexican-American, Castro is currently the only Latino candidate. As such, it is not surprising that he has put immigration at the...
