I’m living 4 hour work week and it’s one of the best books that ever helped me. Just use the advices in the book, pretty simple. I spend most of these days working on side projects, feels great! This also allowed me to earn a lot of money, so definitely not downshifting.

Actually kinda amazed that there aren’t many similar people in the thread...I can email you from a public address, it would prove I have a real reputation and not just Tim’s paid commenter.

As the other request said, please post more information. I want your lifestyle and hope one day I can come up with an idea and put it into action to achieve it.

Dig deeply into some area, become a professional.

Then hire other people and try to optimize your business to work without your control. It's very important to be able to manage the company remotely.

A lot of people are trying to get to some huge expertise to achieve "bigger salary" or something. But no one really focuses on earning a small regular no-hassle income.

That's mostly it...Focus on 20% of stuff which gives 80% of results, like the book said.
