4 hour work week
Cool asked:


What is pinion of this book? I found it interesting but not sure just anyone can do it….. I mean, how does an ordinary office worker apply it? It’s all very well to think of a great idea for anew ‘product’, but if it was that easy wouldn’t we all do it? There are many people out there who think of that every day but the reason we have ‘great ideas’ is because no-one else thinks of them - meaning it’s just not that simple….

Any thoughts on this?

Anyone applied the techniques described in the book? Would love to hear your stories…

4 hour work week
martinmagini asked:


I would love it. I am so tired of the prison of the 40 hour work week. I have other things to do with my time, and a family I love that I want to spend time with. I could make it on 8 hours less pay. My taxes and fuel costs would go down.
Your opinions? Would you like a 4 day work week? Would it work for you? Would you use the extra day to get your own business going? Or, get things done at home? Tell me…

I am going on 20 yrs with my current employer. I love working for them, and have no complaints really. I would like to be able to work from home one day a week or go to 10 hour shifts, four days a week. How do I go about proposing this?
