The 4-hour workweek for startups

The book is mainly about building a business that sits in the background making a dependable but not necessarily huge income. It's not really surprising that it's popular with internet marketers because they generally are not concerned about the quality of products they are producing, more about if they sell and make money. Tim's example was selling supplements online, do you think he was really passionate about this business? I doubt it but that's kind of the point of the book, focusing on enjoying a lifestyle rather than your work.<p>For people wanting to create an internet site/service of value and are really passionate about technology and the internet and enjoy focusing a lot of time on that then this probably isn't a good book to read.

The whole idea of spending 4 hours a week to run your startup business is just silly. Yes, I've read the book and know what kind of techniques he mentions but it doesn't fit for many businesses.<p>As an example. I could outsource my customer service to someone else, but then I lose that connection between the customer and I. I like having that connection, it allows me to see what my customers are looking for, what irks them, and allows me to further advance my business<p>Basically, I can't stand this book. :)

i'll summarize the article for everyone:<p>"buy and read tim ferriss' book and make sure to click on my amazon affiliate link to buy it."
