A Comment from one of our listeners:

Hello Bryan and Julie, 

Q. What are your feelings towards Timothy Ferris’ book, The Four Hour Work Week? What should a person wanting to start a business take from this book and what should they leave behind? Do you use any of his methods, ie: time management, exporting menial tasks to other countries…etc.

Do you have any other suggestions for reading material?

Timothy Ferris has written a brilliant book about time management and being efficient. A person that has read this book and is wanting to start a business should take in mind that time is money. If something is going to take a long time for you to get the job done than it’s not worth your time. As for your other comment what have I done after reading the book? I have learned to automate much of my life and bulk more task together. I try to write all email responses at one time that is most convenient for me. i also have learned not to let my phone run my life I am very efficient in my ways. I also have learned to outsource parts of my life like data collection or even making plans for when I go out of town. Other material I suggest is on our Suggested Links Page. Seth Godin is one of my new favorite others.
