I specifically chose to read The Four-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris because it is such a large part of our collective knowledge at this point, or so I thought. I’ve heard the book referenced countless times in financial and personal and career development blogs. I thought I knew what it was about – creating efficiencies at work and eliminating distraction. What this book actually promotes is completely leaving a normal job and quite literally spending only 4 hours a week (or less) managing a business.
Here’s a quick summary: 1) start a business, 2) outsource everything, 3) live a fantastic life of luxury and travel. Seriously. Soooo I have to more or less give the book some thumbs-down. Ferriss advocates finding a “muse” – a business idea that can be fully automated and then outsourced. He offers three options for creating this “muse”: resell a product, license a product, and create a product. And then he tells you lots of ways you can make this happen. If you believe.
