Design Your 4-Hour Workweek

Timothy Ferriss, author of the 4 Hour Work Week, is a self described "serial entrepreneur and ultravagabond" who lives a lifestyle that most of us could only dream about -- until now. This interesting book has been a #1 Wall Street Journal Best Seller, a #1 NY Times Best Seller, and a #1 BusinessWeek Bestseller.

Ferriss presents a step-by-step guide to his free-wheeling lifestyle, allowing us to follow in his footsteps and realize lifelong dreams. Some people consider Ferriss to be an "Indiana Jones for the digital age".

In order to become wealthy, we need to replace outdated assumptions with the Rules of the New Rich and enjoy life now.

Online Businesses need to replace limiting assumptions and learn to enjoy life now. We want to be able to manage our businesses, and our lives, from anywhere, anytime.

Value your time and your mobility as you learn to join the ranks of the New Rich (NR). The art and science underlying the Ferris 4 Hour Workweek is called Lifestyle Design (LD)."

His model provides us with a roadmap for realizing our own lifelong dreams. He shows us how to:

* Live like a millionaire
* Free time and automate income
* Outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5/hour
* Travel the world without quitting your job
* Eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours
* Trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and mini-retirements

He uses the DEAL acronym to describe his model, where:

* D = Definition
* E = Elimination
* A = Automation
* L = Liberation

According to Ferris, the Rules of the New Rich include the following:

* Retirement is Worst-Case Scenario Insurance
* Interest and Energy are Cyclical
* Less is Not Laziness
* The Timing Is Never Right
* Ask for Forgiveness, Not Permission
* Emphasize Strengths, Don't Fix Weaknesses
* Things in Excess Become the Opposite
* Money Alone is Not the Solution
* Relative Income is More Important than Absolute Income
* Distress is Bad, Eustress is Good

He encourages us to use "Dreamlining" to design our own luxurious lifestyles. Using principles of elimination, simplification and outsourcing are keys to creating your own life among the New Rich (NR).

Another key component of the lifestyle design process is automation; i.e.creating systems and processes that eliminate ourselves as bottlenecks. But never automate something that could be eliminated, and never delegate something that could be automated or simplified.

Ferriss shows us how to recognize and seize opportunities that others don't see. Having options.e.Our choice is our real power.

Ferriss has shown us that it is possible to realize our dreams - faster and cheaper than we ever thought we could.

This is a very compelling book and presents a plan that is easy to understand and apply. I plan to implement many of his ideas into my own life and am presently automating my income using the Infinite Income Plan.

I highly recommend Ferriss' 4-Hour Work Week book - and his website, as well.

I'll be recommending this top three Best Seller List book to everyone I know. If you want to check out the resources Ferriss references in this book, he's kindly provided extensive website references.
