Book Review: The 4 Hour Work Week

The Four Hour Work Week

I don’t think I’ve said this recently – Tim Ferriss is my hero! There is a lot of debate as to whether he really does work a 4 hour week or whether his method is applicable to all businesses or even if he encourages offshoring of jobs. Tim used Indian VAs to build his diet supplement business, and now works a maximum of four hours per week despite earning more money than ever before.

I’m not 100% sure that I’d want to only work four hours a week, nor do I really want to scarper round the world.  I’d settle for the odd weekday escape to the hairdressers.  Whilst Tim’s example is extreme, his time management tips are easily implemented into a normal VA business.   Pay close attention to his brilliant chapter on managing email.
