http://www.WesWisdom.com Join Wes Hazlitt as he covers the revised edition of this landmark book for entrepreneurs & small business owners. Sometimes employees trade an 60 hour a week job for an 80 hour a week business. Tim shows how knowledge of the Pareto principle, the 80/20 rule, outsourcing and putting yourself on an information diet can free you from your time shackles almost overnight.

Synopsis

In the book Ferriss uses the acronym DEAL for the four main chapters.[3] It stands for: Definition, Elimination, Automation, and Liberation.
Definition means to figure out what a person wants, get over fears, see past society's "expectations," and figure out what it will really cost to get where a person wants to go.
Elimination is about time management, or rather about not managing time. This is achieved applying the 80/20 rule to focus only on those tasks that contribute the majority of benefit. There's a difference, Ferriss says, between efficiency and effectiveness. The book's emphasis is on effectiveness.
Automation is about building a sustainable, automatic source of income. This includes techniques such as drop-shipping, automation, Google Adwords and Adsense, and outsourcing.
Liberation is dedicated to the successful automation of one's lifestyle and the liberation from a geographical location and job. Incidentally, Ferriss notes that if somebody has a regular job, the order of steps will be DELA, not DEAL.
The book asserts that technology such as email, instant messaging, and Internet-enabled PDAs complicate life rather than simplify it.[4] It advocates hiring virtual assistants from developing countries such as India to free up personal time.[5]
