How To Live The Four Hour Work Week – Practical Advice

It was in 2005 when I hired my first VA. But it was only in 2007 when I finally read the 4 hour work week. After reading it, I realized I 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 can actually do a lot less. I can even choose not to work at all. And I’m working 17 hours instead because I enjoy it.

The reason I’ve been able to live the 4 hour work week was because of 2 things:

  1. I hired a virtual assistant
  2. I was forced into it in 2006

The process started when I hired my first VA. I was forced into learning how to train and delegate when I had to step away from my business in 2006. And over the years, I refined the process to the point that by 2008, I only really need to work an hour a week.

You don’t have to wait for a life changing event to start living the 4 hour work week. 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 that by getting my book: Outsourcing Lever. It’s a free book. I’m giving away physical copies, just pay for shipping. In there you’ll read about how I was forced into learning to depend on my virtual assistants and how I have 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.

    Hi, I am interested to be part of your team, for a long time since I created my profile. I haven’t received any updates for my multiple applications for so long. So if you could give me opportunity to be part of your team, I had been a customer, technical, and email support for almost 2 years.
