The Four Hour Work Week Book Review of Doom
PART 1
Yes the book that Is also the bible for the earthlings who are nomadic and make money digitally through their laptops. These earthlings are called digital nomads. They are either coding, creating websites and programs or they can even be virtual assistants to freelance writers and proof readers. Oh yes, how can we forget the Internet Marketers who are skilled in getting that landing page in the first page of google, funneling all of the websites traffic to strategically placed banner ads to get paid per click on the banner ad or get commission whenever a hot item is sold.
The “New Rich” coined by the legendary Tim Ferriss are not living the conventional 9 to 5 hustle they are armed and equipped with time and mobility where they design their lifestyle to suit whatever it is that they like. If they enjoy muai thai, they could go train in this particular gym that I want to go to in bangkok called Legacy Gym and they also have a branch in boracay island in the philippines. They could work on their website, whether they develop websites or sell a physical product such as a bamboo framed bike with lightweight aluminum wheels and maybe sell a service that allows the customer to pay for the services of the freelancer to update and create content for the clients website or manage the social media by creating pictures, memes, videos that can become viral and gain some likes for facebook or retweets from twitter.
If you value scuba diving, you might want to explore and travel remote diving sites and structure your schedule and your lifestyle to fit your passion, by doing that you truly become the New Rich. If you value traveling and filling up your passport with stamps which you have collected and it represents a country conquered, leaving behind wonderful memories that are more valuable, if put on a weigh scale, more heavy than gold itself. Time is worth more than gold itself, this is the mentality of the New Rich.
“$1,000,000 in the bank isn’t the fantasy. The fantasy is the lifestyle of complete freedom that it supposedly allows. The question is then, How can one achieve the millionaire lifestyle of complete freedom without first having the $1,000,000?”
“What is the pot of gold that justifies spending the best years of your life hoping for happiness in the last? When your energy is no longer present due tobacco, alcohol and drugs ingested, inhaled, snorted through random orifices? Yes what about the money? After working hard for 20 years, you save up to go on a permanent vacation but your health has withered because of the lack of exercise due to the fact that you stay sedentary sitting down in a office chair for an ungodly amount of time. This is unnatural. I suggest if you’re a cubicle dweller, buy a 25 pound kettlebell for about 35 dollars and throw that cannon ball with a handle around and do be afraid to make it your bitch. Thug life.
“Would you rather live a tolerable and comfortable existence doing something unfulfilling? Or live a life that is comparable to the life that the dos equis the most interesting man in the world has lived?
The acronym for the New Rich is D.E.A.L.
D– For Definition, you have to define your ideal dream lifestyle so you can manifest it into reality. If you want to train MMA, Jiu Jitsu, or just want to travel. You have to define how you will align your passions to your other passion that generates income.
E– For eliminate, you need to eliminate whatever is holding your creative spirit to pursue your passion. If your passion is to play video games, be all in and become the best, join tournaments all over the world and earn by playing video games. Or if video games are not your passion but you still play video games just to numb yourself or just a means to burn precious time then I think in my humble opinion, you have to give it up. You also need to limit your information intake and just learn from people you meet that could be scholars, students, etc. by limiting your information intake i.e. youtube and or gossip should be eliminated as it doesn’t elevate your current life situation. Only if you watch youtube for tutorials or educational videos or documentaries, only then you can continue to watch youtube.
A– For automation, you need to set up a website that could either be monetized meaning having advertisements by sponsors or an obscure podcast that has never been done before. Going on a side tangent, this book is wonderful as it shows you the blueprint in which you can create a successful online empire but I think it lacks examples of businesses or ways on how to make money online. You can create a podcast interviewing schizophrenics in the psych ward, just pick someone who you can actually understand and when you interview them I think you would be in for a delight because schizos can tap into another plane of existence and what comes out of their mouths is nothing short of mind blowing. And for automation, you need to hire at least one virtual assistant through
www.upwork.com you could pay them $2.50 an hour to $7.00 an hour. The purpose of the virtual assistant would be to answer and manage your emails, answer calls from the business line or answer customer service questions through chat, email, or through the phone. By doing a simple power move such as hiring a virtual assistant can free you some time as opposed to being a one man army doing all the work, now you have some free time to enjoy a cocktail while lounging on the hammock by the beach enjoying the cool ocean breeze while looking at the clouds trying to decipher what the clouds are, in the shape of a bunny? Or it could be a lion or wherever your imagination leads you.
L– For liberation. Liberation is acquiring so much free time because your business is fully automated with at least with one to three virtual assistants trying to keep the ship afloat. Now all you have to do is look at you lifestyle plan and plan trips to the waterfalls, the local buddhist temple, or just simply lounge and drink while smoking that reefer only in countries where its legal of course.
What do you think is a better life? Someone who works 80 hours a week making $500,000? Or someone making $40,000 but only has to work 15 to 20 hours a week. Like I said, the New Rich currency is time to spend on creating memories with loved ones which is ultimately, hands down, better than working 80 hours a week.
So who are the New Rich
The employe who rearranges his schedule and negotiates a remote work agreement meaning to receive income while working in an exotic location as opposed to an office but still be an effective employee. By doing this you now have free time since you work for a purpose getting things done a fraction of the time as opposed to working just for the sake of looking like you’re doing something hoping to look busy in front of the boss so you wont get reprimanded.
Strippers who make $15,000 a month who only works 3 months out of the year but travels and samples exotic psychedelics.
The fireman who works 3 days a week getting paid $10,000 then on his free time he or she creates and produces hip hop instrumentals while also rapping to his or her beats allowing him to earn extra income from his passion which is music.
So what does that tell us about the New Rich?
Work hard, you don’t have to be a scholar, you could be a waiter, live off of your salary and save the tips and your salary, work hard for 3 months then travel for 6 months in a third world country using the economic slight of hand where you leverage the value of the dollar and convert it to baht, peso, rupee, or whatever then the value of that dollar that you exchanged will be even more valuable and you could live like a king in these third world countries. Its called taking a mini vacation.
