How I Will Be Rich

This is a joint post by both Matt Wolfe and Joe Fier.

Joe wanted to elaborate more on his previous post, “Freeing Your Mind Through Outsourcing.” and I felt that my post, “We Gotta Mind the 9-5” was closely related. I guess the main idea of the two posts is that life is hectic. Both Joe and I work two jobs, go to school, author a blog, have family and relationships to tend to and need to find time to sleep in between. It gets a little overwhelming at times. We’ve got to decide which of these tasks mean the most to us and prioritize accordingly. Joe wrote about the idea of outsourcing in his post and this can allow you to have the ability to expand the hours in your day. You can, essentially, put endless tasks on your plate. You can just load up that to-do list, front and back and not have to worry so much about how you’ll be able to complete it all. The most difficult hurdle to overcome while thinking of outsourcing is that it allows almost everyone the ability to have an extra helping hand. It can take that sleep element out because while you’re catching up on the ZZZs, you’ve got someone pounding away at some of those tasks on the list.

Joe and I have decided to conduct a little experiment. We have chosen to see how simple it is to establish and work with a remote personal assistant. While we venture through this plan, we’ll document what we learn and show the benefits and drawbacks of what can come from outsourcing. For all those people out there who have read and enjoyed The 4-Hour Work Week but are a little too reserved to give some of the ideas a try, we’ll be your guinea pig. So follow along because we will document everything we come across in this little experiment.
