Show Notes

Ferriss dropped out of Princeton after what he describes as close to a mental breakdown, and decided the best thing for him to do was to travel the world. He spent years trying to build his online business, BrainQuicken LLC, only to discover that his new creation was more of a prison than a liberator. The 4 Hour Workweek is a book about re-thinking the links between one's time and their income. Tim explores the boundaries between working to live and living to work. His years of experience led him to create infrastructures within his business that allow him to profit while not being on the hook for every aspect of fulfillment. He describes tactics to be more effective, means to find a profitable business idea and how to ship an order without ever interacting with the customer or the product.
