Just bought the book myself after recommendations from some of my colleagues, and have already managed to source myself a virtual PA and am about to set up a virtual receptionist too so somebody else can listen to my voicemails ;) And I haven't read a page yet! Looking forward to getting to grips with the rest of the text. PS - Teifion - Make sure you've got a remarkable hourly rate! Thanks for the insights Sarah.

It made me re-evaluate all of the work I do and ask whether I can get somebody else to do it. I used to be busy doing all kinds of stuff that lay outside of my area of real expertise. This book has made me focus on what I enjoy and not feel guilty for not working enough hours. I have learnt it is about what you achieve not how long you work. This book has a profound impact on me.

It's quite an interesting book, and I have a feeling it will change my way of working and living, at least a bit. - By the way, it's Ferriss: two "s" ;) - Strange how many people decided to read the book at the same time! :)

Great mini-review, definitely want to dive into it now. Thanks S. Perfect reason for me to pull it down off the bookshelf where it has lived since I purchased it.
