Timothy FerrissBio: Serial entrepreneur and ultra-vagabond Timothy Ferriss has been featured in The New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Maxim, and other media. He is a guest lecturer at Princeton University in High-tech Entrepreneurship and The 4-Hour Workweek (Crown/Random House) is his debut book on ideal lifestyle design. He speaks five languages, runs a multinational firm from wireless locations worldwide, and has been a world-record holder in tango, a national champion in Chinese kickboxing, and an actor on a hit television series in Hong Kong. He is twenty-nine years old. He's been called the 'Indiana Jones for the Digital Age'.
This ECO has created a world of his own and invited us to join him. In his book, The 4 Hour Work Week he details how the door is opening for more and more people to join what he calls the New Rich (NR) and stop living the old paradigm he called Deferers (D) that arrange their lives in a sequence where they work for 40+ years and delay any real gratification for their retirement. Tim challenges this set up and does so using all three of his Secondary Domains to align his life to flow from IN-8 pattern #3 (freedom) to pattern #7 (happiness). He challenges us to forget our past programming and embrace a lifestyle that avoids what he calls W4W (work for work's sake). His business takes in around $60K/month, yet he checks e-mail every 10-14 days and travels the world. His secret is that Tim has learned how to seperate the way he spends his time and the way he makes money. He also has been able to unhook where he lives (or travels) from where he works, which allows him to run a company with him as the sole employee and 200-300 'outsourcers' as his virtual, global business network. He took his angst (working 12 hours/day for $40K/year) and became a SomaStar (someone who's able to open their identity up and weave in aspects of all 4 life narratives to create a truly integrated life story). Take a look at some of footprints he left for us.
