A 4-Hour Workweek??!
Image by gebl via FlickrSo this week I’ve spent a lot of time reading a book called “The 4-Hour Workweek” by Timothy Ferriss after having hearing about it on Woody Maxim’s excellent blog.
This book is incredible and has completely changed the way I think about how I work and spent the time in my week!
Timothy goes on to explain how a new bread of entrepreneur called the “New Rich” (NR) work and use their time. Instead of the old model of working yourself to death with endless days and nights slogging away, the NR set up businesses that require very little or no time of their own to run.
This time can then be spent enjoying life to max and having “mini-retirments”. Who wouldn’t want to have more time to spend with family, friends and just exploring the world and all it has to offer?
Especially surprising is the section about outsourcing your life and work. You would be amazed at the things you can hire people to do very cheaply, especially when hiring from India and China where differences in currency strengh and other factors mean that you can get very cheap “virtual assistants” ready and willing to do whatever you need 24 hours per day.
It’s a $12 book folks, and an essential addition to your library of motivational and insprational works.
