The 4-Hour Work Week
Posted on 02. Mar, 2008 by Brian Wong in Personal Development
I just have to tell you about this book that I am reading. I feel as though it was written about my life and I could not wait to finish the book before I tell you about it! This book is awesome. It shows you how to escape the 9-5 grind and be totally free to live your life anywhere you want by setting up businesses that can be 100% outsourced so that it runs without you! It talks about giving up fallacious socially conditioned beliefs and if you really get the true message of the book – it will show you how to enjoy your life while you are in the best years of your life without any sacrifices! Its about having your cake and eating it by being smart. Here’s a little blurb about the author so you get what its about:
Timothy Ferris, serial entrepreneur and ultravababond, has been featured in the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Maxim, and other media. He speaks six languages, runs a multinational firm from wireless locations worldwide, and has been a world record holder in tango, a national champion in Chinese kickboxing, and actor on a hit television series in Hong Kong. He is thirty years old.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about living life the way its meant to be. The reason I am endorsing this book wholeheartedly is because its almost as if it validates and vindicates the decision I made 5 years ago to pursue residual based businesses to lower my stress levels and live a happier and more fulfilled life. At the time, a lot of people around me thought I was crazy. Here’s what it would read if the book was about me:
Brian Wong, a serial entrepreneur and ultravagabond, has been featured on Cleo Magazine, Prestige Magazine and been on national television, newspaper and radio. He speaks 3 languages, runs a wellness business and various online businesses from wireless locations around the world. He plays the guitar and piano. Skis, wakeboards, snowboards, rock climbs, scuba dive, sky dives, and has a 2nd kyu ranking in the martial art – Aikido. He owns property in major cities around the world. He is happily married and is a father of a 8 month old baby boy.
It’s an awesome read and it will do wonders to awaken the true soul within you. I know you’ll enjoy it.

Hey Brian,
I haven't gotten any emails from you in a long time. I have recently been working on trying to create a successful online business. I have been struggling with money recently and decided to make a commitment to work a few hours every day to learn new things to help me in my online business. I was in my email and I saw an email from you it was actual a link to a different post but it was quite coincidental because I had recently watched the mind movies video by Natalie also and after reading that post I saw a link to this particular post. The reason it caught my eye was because I had just finished listening to an interview where this particular book was mentioned. Now I would really like to take a walk to the book store so I can read this book. Earlier today I was talking to my mother about my money situation and after listening to the interview I mentioned and also reading your blog posts I feel very motivated to continuing to make my success work with my online business. I know with absolute conviction and absolute faith in myself that I can and will make my business work and I will be able to pay off my credit card debt and buy the 2 bedroom condo and also the house I want as well in the future. It's amazing I am still an affiliate for the SGR program but I never made any sales still to this day but after learning some of the stuff I have recently learned I plan to see if I can test out some new promotion strategies and see if I can make some sales.
I look forward to reading the rest of your blog posts as well as your future posts!
