EP006 - Is the 4 hour work week rubbish?
In this episode, Sam tells us why he loves Tim Ferriss' 'The 4-Hour Workweek' so much.
You'll hear about how to create a process and apply to a business and your own life, working smarter, more harder.
Vicki muses on how to apply the four-hour workweek to her existing agency business and we look at business models like dropshipping to see how they could utilize the model from the book.
We also talk about how to hire help to get you started with your 4-hour work week, which we feel TF glosses over a bit on
If you are thinking about starting a new business that is optimized for your life, then you really need to read this book before you start or you can watch this episode to get the crib notes.
