How can you still apply the lessons of The 4-Hour Work Week in today's economy?

The efficiency and productivity advice that Tim Ferriss popularized in the book The 4-Hour Work Week was based on using online resources to set up automatic processes that managed your work life in an orderly fashion. Becoming systemized and efficient, allowed you to be more productive and live and work anywhere in the world, before that type of opportunity became common. In this episode, Case looks back at the powerful lessons of the 4-Hour Workweek and helps you understand how to apply the teachings of the book to today's economy.
