If you only read one book this year...
 
make it this one.

The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
by Timothy Ferriss

I have provided no affiliate link or hype about the book.

Take a couple of minutes and look up the book on Amazon, where it is on sale for $12, and see if you could benefit from it.

If you don't like to read it is also available on audiobook so that is no excuse.


You can thank me later :)

Interesting, and for the people who are to lazy to go to amazone ;)

What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this
controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer:

“I race motorcycles in Europe.”
“I ski in the Andes.”
“I scuba dive in Panama.”
“I dance tango in Buenos Aires.”

He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the “deferred-life plan” and instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now.

Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you:

• How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
• How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
• How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
• How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent "mini-retirements"
• What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income
• How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
• What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks
• How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
• What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are
• How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off
• How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office

TubeTitans_SusieQ 05-29-2007 11:09 AM

Useless book unless you work for someone else...

Which is not my case.

I disagree. I think it best applies to those that work for themselves. I know that there are some people on here that are alread doing this but many more work 14 hour days for $1000/mo.

I just started reading the book. I'm right now @ L is for Liberation.
It's a really interesting book. Definitely gave me some cool ideas.
Don't focus too much on the title....

I almost didn't pick up the book because of the title but once you read it it is very appropriate.

Very nice book title. I'll check it out. With the right outsourcing and scripting, webmasters can cut down their work week to less than four hours :) Great thread, Corona and thanks for the recommendation.
