I must admit, before I read Tim's first edition of the 4 Hour Workweek, I was somewhat skeptical and even after reading it I still thought there is no way this is possible.  But I did learn some valuable lessons in the first edition that I was able to utilize in my workweek.  Now I am presently reading the expanded and updated 4 Hour Workweek book, which is very similar to the original 4 Hour Workweek, but with more real life samples.  And I am either more open minded or I am at a point in my life where this is making much more sense now and seems possible.

Can you imagine working four hours a week?  When you read that, do you think I am crazy?  What if you could accomplish just as much in 4 hours as you do in 40?  Society has brain washed us thinking we need to be in an office from 9-5 every day doing unproductive tasks.  This is why we frown upon the concept of working 4 hours.  I know, I did it.

Now I am not at the 4 hours per week yet, but I am going to be getting there some day.  Really what risk is there to not try this?  Go buy the book and read it.  Even if you can limit your week to 20 hours, think about how life changing that will be.  And for all the employees out there, this is for you too.  You don't have to be an entrepreneur.
