This week, I’m detailing all the things I’m doing to streamline my business after getting my hands on a book called The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim Ferriss.

Outsourcing is a key part in helping me stay competitive and keep my costs down low. I truly believe in outsourcing. Finding the right people who have the right skills to do the things they’re good at. I hate anything administrative, but I love marketing, sales and business development.

You may be returning to work after taking a few days off to celebrate your country’s birthday last week. Or, you may be trying to carve out some time to take a vacation.
