I have lived the 4 hour work week for the last 2 years. I created a course online and earned half a million dollars from it in the first year alone, after spending 3 months creating it (I was 29 when I created it). Many of the ideas from that book (4hww) were ideas that came naturally to me prior to reading that book. I think anyone who considers themselves resourceful (particularly with utilizing Google search) would say the same thing. Most of the world's information is on the web, so if you want to create a lifestyle that optimizes for high earnings and low work hours, you should start by searching Google.

It's striking to me how people seem so baffled about anything anymore these days. Is there a God? The best framework humans have discovered for figuring things out is the scientific method, and according to that, the answer is: not as far as we can tell. Why is this even a question anymore and why do religions still exist, 20+ years after the internet has been around for the public? Again, the answer to that is on the web as well (the answer probably has to do with how longstanding institutions take a long time to die without meteoric disruption - and physics research/the discovery of the Higgs boson clearly wasn't enough to disrupt religion, nor was the recent rise in popularity of Nick Bostrom's simulation theory which happens to be my favorite theory about what this universe is, etc.).

Anyway, I digress...the point is that nearly anything can be figured out via Google. Want to become a rocket scientist? Google it. Read the best books out there. Don't sell yourself short. Want to be an engineer? Google it. And then do it. You can also learn almost anything with very low cost, thanks to the Internet.

I just gave you the secret to the 4 hour work week. Google + determination.

If you're struggling with accepting this answer - start with getting better at searching Google. You can get good at it like any other skill.

A digression straight out of r/iamverysmart.

By definition, science can test and prove natural phenomena by identifying laws of physic etc.

Science is useless in testing or proving supernatural phenomena but that doesn't necessarily mean it can't exist.

I'm working on launching a course this year, was wondering if you'd be willing to share more details. Do you have an email we can contact you @?

Cool, was it a video course or some ebook?

How did you do the marketing?

[4hwwperson]

It was a video course. Without divulging too much, I Googled around and found some sites that had massive audiences that were similar to the audience I was targeting with my course. I contacted them and they cut me a deal to distribute my course to their audience. That brought in tens of thousands of students in the first year alone.

[laksmanv]

How much was your course priced at and what was the split like?

[rhlala]

Why not divulging too much? Anyway thanks for your story.

I also included a free ebook.

Awesome, thanks for the answer.

It is a great way to make some money for live and launch ideas.

I already read something about courses to sell (video/ebook) in the book called Launch (Jeff Walker).

I am living in a country from Latin America, so I will try something for here. Thanks again. :)

that's a very simplistic view of religion and its historical role in society.
