Change your life

Reading the book helped me generate many ideas and getting my priorities straight.

I'm trying to get myself some more free time to enjoy live, family and friends. Maybe not just 4 hours work per week, but is a great goal to work towards to.

One of the things I did was joining a company in which almost everything is automated. Giving the tools to outsource as much as possible.

You can do it too!!
