Andy Wibbels interviewed Timothy Ferriss, author of the just-released book, The 4-Hour Workweek. It’s relatively short (just over a half-hour), and imho, a must-listen-to. It includes some really provocative ideas along with a few specific tactics that address what I would call the Solo Entrepreneur Lifestyle.

Some wonderful quotes from the interview:

"I’m not proposing that people choose between money or a less-stressful existence…people feel as though they have to choose between high-stress high-reward or low-stress low-reward…it doesn’t have to be that way."

"Don’t work for the weekend and don’t work for retirement!"

"There is a way, especially with the tools of a digital world, where you can design a business or design a life that provides you the income that you need to really do anything you want, without suffering from time famine and constant negative stress."

""If you are tagged to a per hour model, then your revenue is limited by ass-in-seat time and that’s a dangerous place to be."

"Life is measures in hours, not dollars or email responded to."
