I don't think the goal should be to do nothing, but to be free to do what you want. So even if you work a lot of hours, what matters is that you love it. @ Stephen, that sounds like a great situation.

I have been a "pro-blogger" since 1 Nov 2008, and I haven't seen any 6-figure checks either.But my lovely bride and I had a very nice trip from Maine to Wisconsin, down to Nashville and back over to Hilton Head, SC. 7,000 miles in 4 months on the road. You can get away from the 9-to-5, but now my life is more like a series of split-shifts from 6(am)-to-8(pm), six days a week. And I love it. <abbr><em>@Stephen´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/spswords/~3/SuZ5ceXu-88/" rel="nofollow">Social Media Strategy - Increased Relevant Visitor Traffic</a></abbr></em> Thanks for the article at Ittybiz, and for pointing me to this e-book.

It's ironic, isn't it? In order to not work so much, we first have to work very hard to put something in place. It's hard, but yes, it can happen. @ Carla, good, I’m glad you’ll have some reading material to keep you busy! It’s ironic, isn’t it?

I also think people give up because it takes a lot of work to not to work as much. For me, (and a lot of other people) my challenge is my full-time job, but I think with planning and being more organized, it can happen.

They don't know what to do with the time, so they're terribly bored. He says the goal isn't to do nothing, but to fill your time with whatever excites you. I don't think I'd ever have the problem of not being able to think of something to do! @ Barbara, Tim says in 4HWW that boredom is a common problem of the “new rich” (people who only have to work 4 hours a week).

As I was reading it, I envisioned you in your mini retirement, enjoying that which you love to do. When I hear about the four hour work week, it sounds glamorous, however, I'm thinking it would bore me to death. Even if I was a problogger, I would want to be totally involved in blogging activities as they give me so much enjoyment. Finding balance is key, as is doing what you love. It appears you've found the latter and now it's just a matter of fine tuning the balance part. P.S. Thank you for including my review of your first book. You'll go far Hunter! <abbr><em>Barbara Swafford´s last blog post..<a href="http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/btw-your-bff-is-rotfl-your-serps/" rel="nofollow">BTW Your BFF Is ROTFL @ Your SERPs</a></abbr></em> Hi Hunter – What a fabulous book.
