TV gets a lot of bad press but it is not evil unless you let it waste your time and that's a personal choice. If you've got the prime time lineup memorized you may have a problem but I don't agree with those who want me to treat my TV like a pinata and break it into pieces.

If the simple act of removing TV from your life would make you wealthy all by itself more people would probably do it but that's not how it works. Sure, if you get off your duff and make productive use of the time formerly spent watching TV, you might become wealthy but there's no guarantee on that and that's also a BIG IF. We all know most people will just find another unproductive use for their time like useless Internet surfing or something like it.

On the other hand, too much TV can certainly block your road to success. Taking the whole bottle of prescription medicine in one day instead of taking one pill every morning as prescribed can kill you. Watching too much television won't kill you as far as I know but it can kill your dreams of being successful.

Do you know the prime time lineup tonight? Most successful people probably don't. Successful people have goals to achieve and don't let trivial things like television keep them from achieving those goals. There's nothing wrong with having a favorite show or two but there's a problem if every night from 7PM to 10PM, there's a show on TV that you just can't miss.

If you have a desire to make money on the Internet or in real estate investing and you spend more time watching television than you do learning how to make money then there are issues you must face. It's time to ask yourself if you're really serious or if you're just saying that to make yourself feel better.

It's perfectly acceptable to watch some TV from time to time but when you're watching so much TV you don't work toward achieving goals you've set, it's time to make a decision. You're letting the TV be the evil appliance success coaches love to hate. Maybe you should smash your TV and make more productive use of your time. But in the end that's your choice.
