The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich Review
The 4-Hour Workweek, Escape the 9-5, Live anywhere, and Join the New Rich.
I would like to say that I have found a new hero in Tim Ferriss. When I read this book I felt that he was writing this book for me.
He begins the book on all his triumphs in life from tango champion to kick boxing record holder. but he tells us that he wouldn't have been able to do all those things if he did not know how to free up his time.
When you beginning reading this book you find out how he has been able to make his money but find out that this book is not just written on how to make money but is about time management. He is a big into Pareto's Law, aka the 80/20 rule and Parkinson's Law, where you will focus the most effort in the amount of time allotted to you.
You see, Time Management.
He gave me this one idea of when you begin a new course at school and you get a grade that you don't agree with, set up a time with your instructor and you come with question after question after question so that its almost a burden to have you as a student and they are glad the semester is over to have you leave. It worked for me, I turned a B- into a B+. I wish I would have known this sooner.
He speaks about outsourcing your life for all the mundane you can have someone else do. Just like you get an accountant to handle your taxes, or a lawyer to look over you agreements, or a secretary to handle you calls. Brickwork is a virtual assistant that he mentions and there are many more. They are all over the web. If you don't like India, look into the Philippine's, there accents are not as noticeable and their English is perfect as well.
Also you want to find a type of business online that can handle your drop shipping, manufacturing, credit card processing, and affiliate advertising to get you leads to transact your product. But you can be able to do it because you are leaner and don't have all the overhead. Its the way private labeling is going these days.
Once you can get your business set up and on auto pilot you need to work on freeing up your time to enjoy the spoils of life. On a recent interview I saw he speaks about how he spends most of his money on travel and accommodations and does not have much in the speaks of material possessions.
He has been an inspiration. I highly recommend his book as it goes deeper into steps on how to free up your time and run your business.
