Comments on: The Lie Of The Lie Of The 4-Hour Workweek http://hunternuttall.com/blog/2009/03/the-lie-of-the-lie-of-the-4-hour-workweek/ Personal Development for Polymaths Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:02:12 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: wilson usman http://hunternuttall.com/blog/2009/03/the-lie-of-the-lie-of-the-4-hour-workweek/comment-page-1/#comment-127119 wilson usman Wed, 05 Jan 2011 02:31:14 +0000 http://hunternuttall.com/blog/?p=1299#comment-127119 The way I think about this book is like this: some people will like it and apply the useful information in it. Other will not like it without even trying any of the tips. I read so many comments on amazon of people dropping the book after the kickboxing story that it was sick. yea he won, because he did took advantage of an opportunity that others didn't so what! Haven't any of you? I asked... Anyway I think Tim is a great guy, he's made some people mad that's okay...gotta remember that if you want to fail, you have to please everyone, isn't that a quote or something.

(Just off the top of my head, Donald Trump and Gary Vaynerchuk would be much better choices.) I'm basing my "I" opinion on his appearance in the videos I've seen, which admittedly is not a lot of data. I definitely see him as an S, and particularly an SP ("experiencer"). He loves raw data and extreme physical feats, he's very down to earth, and he lives for the moment. Remember that you see all types in all fields, so I wouldn't be surprised to see any type winning a particular award. @ RCRM, I don’t know who called Tim Ferriss the “Greatest Self-Promoter of All Time,” but I certainly wouldn’t call him that.

Great post Hunter. :) This is my first time really reading your blog, and enjoyable it is.

I don't want to work 4 hours a week. I want to work my ass off at buying and running businesses. Mainly because I have struggled for years to do something I really enjoy doing and I am still climbing. Since I've worked so hard I don't want to stop. That's how I'll give back to the world. The world needs guys like me. I want to use my success as a serial business owner to give something back to the world that has provided me with abundance. It seems I read a lot of "warm and fuzzy" stuff when folks talk about how they want to spend the other 164 hours ( there are 168 hours in a 7 day week). To be honest even if I pursued all of my hobbies I'd still get bored. I could settle for working my ass off 9 or 10 months a year and taking 2 or 3 months off, but not all at once. Something like a mini vacation evey 4 or 5 months. Yes, I enjoy working long hours and solving problems related to businesses especially learning how to run businesses and I don't plan on letting up. Hopefully I'll be the 90 year old guy that dies while I am in the middle of doing my next acquisition. Maybe I'll create a blog: "The 4 hour work week sucks"....just kidding. Hunter your blog is the only blog I follow. You actually add value and a good perspective. Although, IMO bloggers only offer opinions of things that have already occured. You have somewhat of a cutting edge perspective. Keep it up. To be honest. I don’t want to work 4 hours a week. I want to work my ass off at buying and running businesses.

Having that goal keeps you focused. Of course, if you like your work, you can always choose to do more than the minimum. @ J.D., I think it makes sense to find the minimal required work time to fund your life style.
