The 4 Hour Work Week
Posted by
I’ve started reading a new book not long ago but before I go on let me just say I am not a huge reader, I tend to scan for some reason and I have the attention span of a gnat.
This new book is something I can’t put down and it’s already changed my thinking about business and given me new insight on a lot of things. A friend and business associate told me about this book called “The 4-Hour Work Week” and suggested that I read it, my first thought was I would have something else sitting on the shelf collecting dust but I went ahead and purchased it, actually I bought a copy for my iPhone and the hard back.
I usually don’t endorse products like this or give reviews but with this fantastic book I just can’t help it because I know that whoever reads it will find the same golden information I have.
To sum the book up Tim explains how to take control of your time, how to work less hours and be more productive. He also explains how to enjoy your time now instead of waiting for the pipe dream of retirement.
Take my advice and get this book, read it, study it. I promise you won’t be sorry!
I’ve included the link below so you can get the book on Amazon, the book comes in several formats.

Hi Anthony,
I’ve looked at this book several times, but haven’t made the leap to buy it yet. What about your day, or week, or whatever has it helped you improve most? You might just sell me on it.
The first real thing it helped me with was to realize that I didn’t have to sit in my email in-box 24/7, I could use my time better by setting a schedule twice daily to check email.
Another thing was seeing the way I looked at life now, my business, etc. You don’t have to be rich and famous in order to live like you’re rich and famous.
There are other excellent things in the book where he talks about outsourcing tasks, etc and it all just makes sense. He also talks about calculating your TMI and TDI (total monthly income and total daily income) in relation to setting goals. It’s all apart of how the “New Rich” do things.
Some of that stuff–specifically the scheduling–I really like. I get carried away with the same things. I believe the other part about being rich, but not rich is pretty applicable as well. I’ll probably never be “rich” in the financial sense of the word, but enjoying what I do and being able to live well is a good goal, and the only goal I should have.
How do they suggest to outsource oneself? Virtual assistants or something? I’ve debating looking into that. Have you?
At any rate, good deal. I believe I’m going to have to buy this one!
Thanks so much Anthony for posting this.
It seems that I never have enough time
in the day to do all that I want to do.
I am going to have to check out this book!
