The "4-Hour Work Week" Is a Load of Crap

Let me preface this by saying that the best-selling book,
"The 4 Hour Work Week" is a great book. If you've read
it, you know it advocates outsourcing + automation.

This allows you the freedom to not be married to doing
unproductive things, and essentially put your
business on autopilot.

Who doesn't want that?

That said, too many business professionals take
the 4-Hr Work Week literally.

Now I'm sure there's plenty of people out there, somewhere,
who do only work 4 hrs a week and are also million
dollar producers.

That's working smart.

I'll bet they even have plenty of automation that helps
them be efficient with their time and in managing their
offices and business (which the book advocates).

But for the rest of us, taking the notion that we love
to be in sales because of:

(1) earnings potential

(2) lifestyle/freedom that a flexible schedule can afford;

...can be a huge trap.

There's no 4-Hr work week if you're truly trying to build
your biz.

I've asked plenty of million (and multi-million)
dollar producers and not a single one has told me they
have the "4 hour work week."

• They've built their biz, relationships, and referral
  network, and that takes far more than "4 hours" to
  cultivate, continually.

I like your post MaxReferrals. I think you are right that some, maybe too many, people actually think you can only work 4 hours a week and be successful.

I agree that the four hour work week is a myth.

However, I am adhearing to the Law of Attraction and sending vibrations out into the universe to attract the four hour work week into my life.

If it happens then I am going to call Oprah and see if I can get on her show and sell some kind of book.

Have a happy day!

Good Selling.
