The overarching principles of developing a business and developing passive income work, but I found that the advice regarding virtual assistants fell off the mark. Even when I paid $25 an hour, they did not follow directions and exhibited no ambition to move forward with a career. Many options he mentions may seem crowded currently including dropshipping businesses, but if you get creative about your products you can create something lasting from his book. What you do with the additional time is up to you, but I chose his start another career option. Thanks, Tim Ferris because I carved out the time for the second business, a five year embedded weather research study, a book series, a couple of mentoring websites, that personal blog I always meant to start and some travel. What can I say? The time management tips REALLY work. Of course, like everything, it only works if you do.
