The 4-Hour Workweek

1. IDEA 1

   Define your fears

   Write down the worst case, how to prevent it and how to repair it. Inaction has costs too, and fear-setting often reveals risks are smaller than they feel.

2. IDEA 2

   Eliminate first

   Apply the 80/20 rule: find the few tasks that produce most results and cut the rest. Doing less low-value work is more powerful than doing it faster.

3. IDEA 3

   Automate income

   Build systems or products that earn without your constant attention. Outsource routine tasks so your time goes to high-leverage work.
