This was probably the 3rd business book I read and it is one of the best
that is not industry specific. Although I like Ted Turner, Felix
Dennis, and Richard Bransen’s books I don’t think I will be in the
broadcast media, print publishing, or music businesses anytime soon.
Ferriss’ book can be applied to almost any line of business. But I
agree with you, studying philosophy is one of the best ways to learn
about success in life and in business.

Hi Maren,

Just wanted to let you know I am a fan of your podcasts. I think I’ve listened to all of them and now playing them in loop on my iphone. I like the format, the way you conduct the interviews and what the entrepreneurs share with your audience. Well done Maren.

I also started reading Tim’s book and found a lot of great tips.

Keep up the good work

Vince

I haven’t read the second edition yet – but I really should sit down & pour
through the case studies. I did love Ferriss’ book when it came out – though
today I find myself taking a different path But I still am amazed by
people who can actually live the 4 hour work week like Mike and do it so
well!

After having been following your blog for the last couple of months, I finally got one of my questions answered (about the name of your blog). I definitely suspected that it was because of Ferriss’ book, but then again, it could have just been an inescapable coincidence.

I’m glad to have learned this about you and can read about your experiences with an additional perspective.

On another note, I just picked up his 2nd edition — I read the 1st edition way back when it came out, but haven’t taken the opportunity to read through all of the case examples of people succeeding/failing with his ideas.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jeremiah

Couldn't agree more...

Tim's book has helped a LOT of people. If you read the expanded addition, which I am sure you will, Maren Kate, you'll hear all about the changes and muse's that have can about because of the inspiration caused by the original edition of the book.

As someone who runs an outsourcing company, and blogs pretty heavily about it myself, I can honestly say that your first point above is probably the most important one.

Just do the following: Get a piece of paper, and write down what you DON'T LIKE doing, and what you feel you SHOULD NOT be doing as a business owner or an aspiring entrepreneur. Then go find someone to do all those pesky, mundane tasks for you.

It might 'hurt' a little to 'let go' at first, but after a while you'll see the sheer power behind delegating with purpose in mind.

Great post...
