Smile Using your book as our "life bible"!

Hi Tim-

Thank you for all your insights and helpful information on how to work and live! We love your book and consider it our "life bible"! Every day we are working on all of your philosophies and we feel we are getting closer and closer to working only 4 hours per week! Your book came at the perfect timing right when we launched our online gift registry. Our business is new concept we came up with and having been working on for a few years as a side project. Early this year my partner and I recieved enough interested clients to finally be able to do this full time. Our number one goal from the begining was to make our business be as automated as possible (like a gas station) so that it could make us money while we were sleeping! Thank you for your tips for helping with this concept of automation and a "remote CEO". We also love that fact that our clients are all online so we can work from anywhere! Our first big move was across the US and our next big plan is to live abroad every year for four months switching to different places. Thanks for sharing all your fun international stories! We are so thankful to find your book and love having someone in our age group be so inspirational! Check out our website when you get the chance and tell us what you think. We feel like we still have a lot of work to do to get to get to only four hours per week but thanks to your book we know we are on the right track! Kristin & Brian www.mydreamhomeregistry.com

Default Hey Tim

Tim, I bet you won't read this, but it's worth a shot...

My name is Blake Shultice, I'm going to be a freshman at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa this fall, and I am on my way to living the New Rich lifestyle thanks to you and your book! I can't thank you enough!

I don't currently have a muse up and running, (it will be filmed out of our dorm room this fall) but i have big plans for it!

Give me 6 months, and I will be your successful, $7/hour car detailing slave turned crazy awesome wealthy college student working 1/10th of the time!!!

Let me know so I can get a nice, new outfit to wear on tv!

Here is my story:

A bunch of the things that Tim suggested were already in place before the book came out. However - there was still A LOT learned from the 4HWW. Thanks for writing this book...it gave that extra reassurance and a huge confidence boost.

Thumbs up New-found Success

Hey Tim,

Wish you could have been around doing this 20 years ago, but hey, better late than never!

I've been a struggling entrepreneur for almost that long. Just recently found your book - still reading, and applying as I go. My little niche software business (started 2 years ago) is finally beginning to pay off. The sales graph is now on a steady 45-degree upward slope. As a result, my wife and I are buying a new SUV and planning a Caribbean cruise this winter - our first real vacation in way too many years.

Every week my company is becoming more profitable and autonomous. Now I'm looking for a manufacturer to start producing several hardware products to go with my software. One possibility happens to be my current employer, who is destined for enlightenment regarding "flex time," one way or another.

BTW, if you need a "case study" subject, I'd be happy to contribute. Thanks for putting it all together!!


Cheers,
Brian

Default Started Muse and Doing Well

Greetings,

I read Tim's book the week it was released and also listened to the audio version a few times. I was an eye doctor who started working online from home and since the end of last year have not worked a day for someone else since. My muse is at www.ForexProFund.com and I am building it day by day by pure passion and motivation to create a new lifestyle while helping others do the same. Rock on!

I thought this type of Forex trading was a Ponzi scheme...
