I’m trying out Tim Ferriss’ ‘4- Hour Work Week’. One of the most popular / well known businessey / self help style books around.
The book is clearly rooted in the stereotypical US approach to work of long hours and poor holiday so that one day you can retire and chill out. The basic concept is why would you wait to have fun when you can bring that forward and have it now…
I suppose the nagging question in my mind is how do you pay for all of that? I’m sure we’ll get into it but I hope the answer isn’t ‘just be a really successful entrepreneur and that will cover all your costs.’
The structure of the book is based around the ‘DEAL’ – Definition, Elimintate, Automate, Liberate. I’m aiming to cover each topic in a blog post or two. There are a number of challenges set by the author along the way which I’ll pick out, do and tell you how they’ve gone.
