In my experience the market is fickle and changes frequently, especially as it relates to the internet and online marketing. I can’t help but think that the entire „New Rich“ concept is a branding ploy to roll out a series of self-help seminars.

After a long discussion I learned she has little concept of where the money comes from and how it gets here. Her parents use credit constantly and maintain a huge revolving home equity line of credit. If you want to ease up on the pace then work on making your life easier by pushing back on work, automating and devoting more time to what’s really important to you. The one central point was correct, make enough to do what you think is really important and don’t worry the rest.

But these ideas obviously are being pulled from other books, and they’re really diminished by the fact that the core of the book is basically a get-rich-quick scheme. This book isn’t for people with roots, family or even close friends. If your goal is to learn how to manipulate people (and fool yourself) this book is for you. In Chapter 2 the author brags about ‚winning‘ the gold medal at the Chinese Kickboxing National Championship in 1999 by forcing opponents off the mat and thereby winning by default. Second, while the advice he has for people who already have a business is good (automating certain administrative tasks, checking e-mail less frequently even if you think your world might end if you do that), the ideas he dishes out to would-be entrepreneurs is much more troubling. Specifically product development, which he labels „finding a muse“, could mislead some people into believing that you can make an instant-business every month with the help of affiliate marketers, drop shippers, and faking credibility (just check the forums on the book’s website). He doesn’t work four hours a week but he sure can talk a game. Anyway, I give the book 4 stars. The guiding principle of T4HWW is to do what it takes to make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible. I’ll let you decide how much value you think his business is adding. The more things that are outsourced to the third world, the more it grows economically and the more we prosper here at home. For those that think job loss is a bad thing, throw out your refrigerator so the ice man can have his job back. Such as the company he sold, BrainQuicken. First of all, an unregulated supplement that boosts energy and concentration“

The central problem is that Tim seems to think the world exists for his benefit and that one’s work exists apart from one’s place in one’s community or society and the world in general. He’s proud of the way he is able to take advantage of others while avoiding his karmic debt when others wish to interact with him. I’m still puzzled by why Berlin can be a cheap place to live. The rest of Germany when I’ve visited certainly isn’t.

Some days I work 6 hours especially when I’m in the new phase of a project, but that’s about my max. Granted, we are talking about income producing activities here.

Others are constantly „being helped“ by the government, by charities, by whoever. Now I’m not making a moral judgment against either of these groups of people.

I don’t think that stretching rules for my own needs makes me a better person. The reviewer who described this author as a snake-oil salesman is right – and if you buy this book, you’ll do nothing to help yourself.

This book is for the loner without a life that wants to live in the moment. Garage Work Bench Kits.
