It was in 2005 when I hired my first VA. But it wasn’t until 2007 that I finally read The 4-Hour Workweek. After reading it, I realized I already had everything I needed to live that lifestyle. All I needed to do was make a couple of tweaks.
Since then, I’ve been working roughly 17 hours a week. I could actually do a lot less. I could even choose not to work at all. But I work 17 hours because I enjoy it.
The reason I’ve been able to live the 4-Hour Workweek is because of two things:
- I hired a virtual assistant
- I was forced to let go in 2006
The process started when I hired my first VA. Then, in 2006, I was forced to step away from my business, which meant I had to learn how to train and delegate. Over the years, I refined that process to the point that by 2008, I only really needed to work an hour a week.
You don’t have to wait for a life-changing event to start living the 4-Hour Workweek. You can start by learning how to outsource to a virtual assistant. You can start by learning how to make outsourcing work for your business.
And you can learn all of that by getting my book: Outsourcing Lever. It’s a free book. In it, you’ll read about how I was forced to depend on my virtual assistants and how I’ve made that process work ever since.

I am a graphic artist/designer for 8 years now (and counting). My favorite tools are Photoshop and Illustrator. My designs are not of ordinary – I usually draw them in a piece of paper (draft/scratch) first before converting it to an actual Photoshop/Adobe Illustrator file. In this way I can assure you that the designs are original and came right out of my thoughts and ideas. If you need a sample or portfolios just let me know – and I am willing to show you my works and imaginations. I offer also the following services Cartoon Illustration, T- Shirt Designs which you can view at my Facebook page), logo creation, banners, posters and layouts.
