Review: 'The 4-Hour Workweek' by Tim Ferriss
A few years ago, Tim Ferriss was going crazy. His business was profitable, but he was working 12 hours a day / 7 days a week under intense pressure, compulsively checking his e-mail and dealing with disrespectful customers. Instead of running his business, his business was running him, and he decided that he'd had enough. That's when he decided to renegotiate everything in his life.
The 4-Hour Workweek is a practical guide to creating a business that supports the life you want instead of constantly adapting your life to your job.
Tim is a master of doing things differently. By ruthlessly applying both the law">Parkinson’s Law ("work expands to fill the time allotted") to his business, he was able to systematize and outsource his work to the point that his business operations require no more than 2-4 hours of attention each week.
After systematizing his businesses and hiring other trustworthy people to complete routine non-value-added tasks, Tim discovered that he was better off both personally and financially. Instead of spending 80 hours a week chasing dollars, his new business structure gives him the freedom to pursue his non-work interests and travel around the world.
The 4-Hour Workweek will help you re-examine your assumptions about what's possible. With a little research and active negotiation, you can dramatically improve your results. This book is a must-read for all entrepreneurs who want personal freedom more than a corner office.
