Many of us are in this "not yet" stage of the 4HWW. I have tested your approach over the last 18 months and it really has transformed my life. Thanks Bro. P.S. Check out my Blog - if you ever need a contributor let me know. Sweet Post – You did Tim proud. Many of us are in this “not yet” stage of the 4HWW.

There are other ways to build your muse. I live off mine and I have never needed to learn any adwords (although I tried it at one point and lost a few hundred $) Adwords isn’t the only option.

However, from my experience so far, the most important pieces to put into place are a solid understanding of Adwords and basic product marketing- reaching the niche, so to speak. Remember, the basics of features, benefits, and the fundamental concept that people go to Google and the web for ANSWERS first, so you must position your products as such. I've made great strides with Brad Geddes book: Advanced Google Adwords, and also with Google's basic AdWords tutorial. Best of luck to everyone as the year ends, and an exciting 2011 begins!

Yes, the 4HWW is possible, but you have to lay the foundation first, and this does take some WORK (only this time, you're not investing in some old rich guy's bottom line, you're investing in YOUR prosperous future! Even if your muse only nets you a couple thousand a month, that could be all you need to live in a place like Thailand!

Did exactly this. Utilizing free (down) time effectively and working remotely (leverage your team so you don't have to be there). Was able to write a book (from thought to publication) in 2 months. Have my eBook up and running via low cost creation and publishing methods. Printer will have paperback ready in 7 weeks (this was the most costly part).

Excellent recommendations and ideas. I definitely need to finally get focused on the time management aspects of my life. Opening your email only at specific times seems so hard to do. But I am going to implement it right now. I have been waiting too long to do it. Thanks for the much needed inspiration! I got here through Tim’s facebook link. Excellent recommendations and ideas.
