Summary:

Erica O'Grady takes us on the road for a talk with the Indiana Jones of the Digital Age, Timothy Ferriss, author of New York Times and Wall Street Journal best seller The Four Hour Work Week. Tim shares how he cut his management time from 60 hours per week down to 2 (he only checks email for 2 hours a week on Mondays!) and that income has no practical output if you don't control your time. Asking empowering questions of yourself helps you define your outcome and shows you there may be more than 2 options.

If you’re put off by the idea of “only” working 4 hours a week, ask yourself: why? What is it you’d rather be doing in those hours you spend behind the computer or answering the phone? If the answer is travel, then you might enjoy reading about how to DEAL (Definition, Elimination, Automation, Liberation). […]
