Perhaps a repeat of things you learned in business classes or law school. But, this book will quickly bring you up to speed on making good deals. Read it, if for no other reason than to negotiate well with others who have.
Wasteful chatter is the demise of all mastery. Learn how to harness 100% of your mind's power attending each task perfectly and clearly. And, you will achieve your goals more quickly. Distraction and lifestyle are the downfall of any entrepreneur who doesn't master them.
Kitschy, yes. Useful, absolutely. It's more about theory and mindset than practice. For years I've offered this math to determine when to outsource my tasks.
IF my hourly income (how long it takes me) - tax > outsource cost THEN outsource
Simple really. Yet, so many people I know spend their $100/hour time to work on $50/hour problems. If you love working on your lawn, by all means do so. But, that's a luxury item, not a chore and not profitable unless your local lawn care expert charges more per hour than you do. And, at the time allowance you require. If I work on my car, I'll spend four times the hours my mechanic will.
Ferriss points on a host of ideas for upgrading your life here, but primarily it's about valuing time and skill, trending toward peace and focus in ones life. A worthy read even if the title sounds silly and is wholly impractical for the super achiever.
