Saturday morning while driving to our cabin in northern Minnesota, I listened to this podcast author interview from iinovate blog. If you take the time to listen, you'll be surprised to learn that this podcast is not about working less. It's about working smart, being innovative, and enjoying the process. The author's name is Tim Ferris, and he's done some cool and smart stuff in his life.
My wife who was in the car with me ... stopped what she was doing and listened to this particular podcast. Thus this comes dual recommended by Rich and Molly Hoeg!
Had you ever thought of using Google Adwords and the resulting stats to run a marketing test ... where the goal of the test was NOT to sell anything? Nor had I! Listen to the podcast.
.
The guys at the Evolving Excellence blog had some good comments on Ferriss' book as well, from a manufacturing and outsourcing perspective. Typically they are very anti-outsourcing, but "personal outsourcing" is just a tad different! Unfortunately they didn't mention the effective time savings from having an assistant on the opposite side of the globe. Nice post.

Rich - I am at a learning event, and last night one of my colleagues was telling me about "The 4-Hour Workweek" ... and here it is, in your blog, recommended by both you and your wife! How cool is that? I can't wait to check it out. Jen
P.S. 10+ English language dictionaries targeted at grade school students. I think Chinese students learning English might find them quite useful. My husband was a tour manager for Read California (a governor sponsored initiative) a few years ago...and came home with them. Still interested?
>> Rich Hoeg responds:
I would love to deliver the dictionaries to China. I've contacted you privately to give you my home address.
Glad you are paying attention to recommendations from Molly and me!
Thanks a ton, Jennifer.
