I’ve recommended the book The Four Hour Workweek to pretty much everyone I’ve talked to in the past few weeks, not because I think that everyone should go the route of starting their own internet business, but because there are so many useful lifestyle changes that anyone can take from it.

My good friend Josh wrote me about the changes he’s making since starting his Four Hour Workweek:

Mike,

It’s monday and I’m checking my email, one of the two times that I’ve been checking my email. I haven’t watched tv today. I’m opening my spanish txt book tonight and starting to learn. I want to be fluent for Cuba. I called the guy that runs www.camerasforhealing.com and he’s interested in taking me to Sierra Leone. I cleaned out my RSS feeds, I’ve stopped visiting forums, going on facebook more than once a day to check for msgs and business related issues. I got all of my processing done as well as paper work in only 2 hours. I’ve read about 2/3 of the book, officially starting it on Saturday and most of the reading on Sunday, it’s had a major impact already. I’ve made notes throughout it as well as written ideas in the front cover. I have a few good ideas for businesses.

Josh, Liam and I went camping in the Cape Breton Highlands this past weekend.

Road trip. Music. Hiking. Camping. Photography. Moose.

Brilliant time.

(I should note about the photographs near the end of the video that look professional: it’s because they are. Josh took them, and he’s an amazing pro photographer. Check out his site: www.jwebb.ca)
