Amazing Considerations On The Four Hour Work Week And Role Swapping

The “4 Hour Work Week” is quite a read and I know that I’m not alone in thinking that it’s a fantastic composition.

Just in case you have never heard of it, this is it: The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich.

I certainly advise you to go out and get a copy of this book, especially if you’re thinking about becoming a Virtual Assistant sometime in the future. This book is the reason why some of my clients began considering using a VA, why they contacted me and eventually became my clients – the same could happen to you, so grab a copy and read it. Thank you very much Tim Ferris for writing this book in the first place.

So, to summarise among many other things, the book highlights the advantages of hiring a Virtual Assistant so the client can join the “new rich” and also experience what it’s like to live the 4 hour work week. Now, this is all great, and it’s also what a lot of people are now doing. The book is, after all, a first-class way of promoting Virtual Assistants, all around the world.

But what the book doesn’t include (well at least my version doesn’t) is how the Virtual Assistants could be joining the new rich themselves. I have and it’s fabulous. I have just been out to the supermarket and on the way home the sun was setting behind the Spanish mountains and the fields of olive groves looked incredible in the light. This is something that I might not have seen if I had decided to stay in one place for all of my life. Probably not, and this to me is the new rich – life, living, experience, and a wealth of new impressions.

I do have to say though, I don’t work the 4 hour work week – I work a full work week. You see I am so into my business, my customers, what I do and the team all around me that I enjoy being in charge of my virtual world and I think that my old-fashioned attitude toward work is one of the reasons why I have ended up being so successful. It’s certainly true to say that you only get out what you put in and while I work a great deal, I am still able to stop at three o’clock in the afternoon if I want to and take a nice walk, for example. I’m a free spirit and I work when I decide to work out of choice, not because I have a boss breathing down my neck checking up on me. So whether you’re considering how to become a virtual assistant now, or you’re thinking about how to become a virtual assistant in future, or even if you’ve already started exploring how to become a virtual assistant through training, drop by for a visit and see for yourself what other like-minded people have to say within the extraordinary field of Virtual Assistance!

So this is a note to all the Virtual Assistants who are benefiting from this incredible book written by Tim Ferris. Yes, we can help people realise their dream of living the 4 hour work week, and it’s fun to do that, but at the same time, we can do it too. Virtual Assistance really is the perfect business to have if you want to globe trot, whether this be 2 days, 2 weeks or 2 years. If you only want to work just 4 hours a week, I think you may need to look for an alternative work at home business solution though, especially if you are needing a reasonable income.
