The 4-hour work week.

Part of the 4-hour work week irritates me. After years of floudering, the author Timothy Ferriss, started a successfull dietary supliment business. It earned him $30,000.00 a month. But, Ferriss found he was working 12 hour days and not enjoying life. So he developed his philosphy and a lot of buzzwords and grew his sucessfull business into something that earned him $100,000.00 per month with less time and commitment from him.

Starting a busines that nets $30,000.00 a month. Hmmm. He takes that for granted Yes, he grows his business astronomically while working less. But, he never quite realizes that starting a business that nets $30,000.00 a month is a mixture of opportunity and luck and not due to his philosphy.

The philosophy its self is nothing new. More or less the 7-Habits rephrased.
