Cool story, really. It's always great to find new people who have made their dream come true. The book really contains a virus, let's say. Which can lead to something great but also make you miserable if you carry it inside you and things aren't moving into the right direction. But I guess the question here really is how much one wants it, right? Of course, most of use 'want' a 4HWW lifestyle, but very few are willing to throw in the time of therir 9-5 job plus another 4-5 hours in the evenings/nights to make things happen. Regards from Greece, David Hi Jason

I am really looking forward to reading the rest. Very inspiring but I also like the realistic way you're looking at the 4HWW concept. Wow, what a fantastic series of posts!

Some people may get the wrong idea and think that a 4HWW will happen overnight. The truth is it takes LOTS of work to build a successful business. In my opinion, the secret lies in *how* you organize everything including your day-to-day workflow. I do think it's possible to grow/sustain a very comfortable living on 4 hours per week IF you are disciplined. Personally, I prefer 3-6 months of more consistent work followed by 3-6 months of less work or "mini-retirement" as Tim Ferriss calls it. As for any profession... I think it depends. The "four hour" goal is unrealistic for MANY professions. But reducing your overall work time is possible for virtually everyone and anyone who wants to spend more time focusing on the right things. It's all about priorities. Yes, I agree. Some people may get the wrong idea and think that a 4HWW will happen overnight. The truth is it takes LOTS of work to build a successful business.

Not that I am skeptical, but I think it is misleading a bit. You have to put in extra hours to obtain the 4 hours. Lastly, do you think it is possible to grow or sustain your living on 4 hours a week? Another question I have, Is it possible for any career or profession to obtain the 4HWW?

Lastly, do you think it is possible to grow or sustain your living on 4 hours a week?

Another question I have, Is it possible for any career or profession to obtain the 4HWW?

Well of course I met you there, my love. :-) I plan to talk more about the people I met and some of the life-changing experiences I had in the follow-up tomorrow. And discipline is definitely part of it. I'll be looking next at some of the major pitfalls in 4HWW lifestyle management. Stay tuned... Thanks, Steph! Well of course I met you there, my love. :-)
