If you’ve been around me any amount of time, this is a book that I love referring to. It is one of the catalysts for me to begin moving a larger percentage of my income streams to the Internet.

What readers need to understand is that The 4-Hour Workweek(4HWW) is not just a goal to attain, it’s a lifestyle. Author Tim Ferriss has adapted his lifestyle in a manner that allows him to be able to work remotely and outsource the majority of his work to Virtual Assistants on various parts of the world.

If you’re an entrepreneur, you must read this book. If you already have read it but continue with your old ways – read it again! If you’re like most, you must have a load of projects that are piling up and being neglected. Each day that passes is costing you money. Stop delaying, stop trying to be Superman – pass the work elsewhere. Go get yourself a Virtual Assistant at Get A Freelancer and start outsourcing.

I have outsourced the vast majority of my web development and search engine optimization even though it’s fun work for me to do. If you need web-related contractors, I recommend going to NamePros or DigitalPoint. You’re going to find talented people for fair wages.

One of the toughest parts of 4HWW has been the “low-information diet,” where you’re not supposed to be checking e-mail constantly, and you’re supposed to cut your news-viewing down to almost zero. As a news and political junkie, this is damn-near impossible for me. I’ve reduced my news reading to scanning The Drudge Report headlines, and signing up for Politico and CNN news alerts. At the end of the day, I can scan my Blackberry and look at any news items that came up. I also turned off the e-mail notification on my Blackberry. I am working on getting a regular schedule for checking e-mail, as right now I’m checking it “every once in a while.”

Tim Ferriss is a wealth of knowledge. One of my favorite posts on his blog is Relax Like A Pro: 5 Steps to Hacking Your Sleep. If you are an insomniac like me, you’ll find his tips helpful. I’ve done the 10-minute ice bath that he recommends, and it knocked me out so badly that I’ve been too scared to try it again.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the 4HWW and Tim’s Blog – I hope it makes you more productive and that you begin achieving your financial goals!
