I think the 4 hour week is a red herring.
IIRC the author did it by making a business more efficient and use less of his time. But his starting point was an insanely successful business. That's the prerequisite for following his steps!
Alternatively he suggests getting a job you can work remotely then outsource cheaply to take yourself out of the equation. Yeah right. Good luck with that!
The goal really is to build enough wealth so that you can work 0 hours per week. Probably doable by investing wisely and cutting back on lifestyle.
- bokenator 10y agoIt is becoming hard to negotiate remote work deals because many bosses have also read the book! lol
- giltleaf 10y agoI'm about halfway through the process as described in an underpaid non-profit position (ie, going remote, setting up automated systems, wasting less time in meetings/emails). Although I'm not now because what I'm working on is analytical and research-dependent, I will be able to outsource parts of my job in the future. A successful business is not a prerequisite. If you give it another read looking for other paths, they are there, they just aren't the flashy "automate your business"
