Our 4-Hour Workweek

Inspired by Timothy Ferriss and his book
“The 4-Hour Workweek”
“This engaging book makes you ask the most important question that you will ever face: What exactly is it that you want out of work and life, and why? Tim Ferriss is a master of getting more for less, often with the help of people he doesn't even know, and here he gives away his secrets for fulfilling your dreams.” - Bo Burlingham - Editor-at-Large, Inc. Magazine & author of "Small Giants: Companies That Choose To Be Great Instead of Big"

How She Became The Millionaire Mommy Next Door

J.D. Roth of Get Rich Slowly shared this true story of how a woman earning $7.50 an hour as an office assistant in a veterinary hospital became a millionaire. Read how she did it.

She has escaped the 9 - 5 ratrace and attained the freedom to do whatever she chooses. Her website mantra reads:

"Our family hasn't set an alarm clock in years. We wake with the sun when we're rested, eager to spend the new day doing whatever we chose."

Tim Ferriss, author of "The 4-Hour Workweek" would be proud of her!

Pareto and the 80/20 Rule

Pareto.jpg
Tim Ferriss, you reminded me of an important lesson, that I've long forgotten - the 80/20 Rule. Thanks to you and Vilfredo Pareto, I will apply this rule in moving forward.

According to copywriter and blogger Michel Fortin:

The 80/20 Rule is simple. It says 20% of inputs create 80% of outputs. Conversely, 80% of inputs create only 20% of outputs. For instance:

In a house that is carpeted, 20% of the carpet will get 80% of the wear. On a blog, 20% of the blog posts will get 80% of the “reads.” In a business, 20% of the customers will produce 80% of the revenue.

In anything you apply the 80/20 Rule to, you will find both great leverage and great waste.

Sound advice Michel. And I will heed it.
