I'm looking around my office for the name of the book I have, it's not "The 4-hour Workweek" but it is very related on the subject. Damn, hate it when I can't find a book.
This is my view of it..
Look at your work week, break down how many 'real' hours of work you do vs bullshit that doesn't make money and/or could probably be pushed off onto someone else.
Then learn how to mix in your real family life, into work hours that aren't really work. Now the idea is, you aren't really working, you are just experiencing life and making money while doing it. Add to this that you are a business owner and can actually make money, any time, any place, anyway you wish - just by putting your mind to it.
I think of it is a way to retire without having to retire. I want to play golf 5 or 6 days a week, 1-2 rounds a day. And continue to have equal time with my family and complete as much work as I always have. Well, since I want equal time with the family - I will have to play golf on work hours.
I love golf, and I love making money - so instead of thinking I can't do this and must work on my 'porn business', I come up with something I enjoy doing, while I play golf, that can earn me income. Like blogging, or getting in good with the course managers and taking over as a free designer, for free golf. Now I'm making money by saving it and still doing things I enjoy doing.
That's just the basic idea, it can be broken down and twisted several ways. Work is doing something for a boss that controls you. Being a Company owner means you are in total control of everything, just like taking the first big step to open a business, the only thing holding any of us back is fear.
