4-Hour Workweek: The Book That Helped Start Passion Planner

[@08dragonfly]

This week. I was gifted the Passion Planner by my best friend. I am HOOKED!!! Thank you for the guidance and motivation! A few years ago I had thought of a way I could make money as a side hustle, but I had many doubts. After spending a good hour decorating and connecting with my planner, I thought I need to write this idea down as a game changer. One of my other goals is to read more, so I ordered "Big Magic: How to Live a Creative Life and Let Go of Fear" by Elisabeth Gilbert; I am very excited to shared that with my BFF. The last book that I read was "Fierce Heart: Finding Strength, Courage and Wisdom in Any Moment" by Spring Washam. Gamechanger!!

I can tell she’s a great leader by how she talks with her hands

Angelia hi. I love both your names..I think this is a profound book..I am on my way to building my entrepreneur life and thoughts are on a side hustle and investing and making passive income...I watched Tim ' s interview with Marie forleo just days ago. I am currently listening to Joseph Rodriguez cover at your command by neville Goddard. .because I listen daily it's really having an impact on revealing to me that limiting beliefs are the thing that get in our way ..so it ties in with breaking social norms..you make me want to go back to this book and study it..as I never owned it. Thanks. .I'll hope to hear from you soon. L.A

Tim Ferriss is nothing short of a genius, he is very practical and also very no sense straight talk.

[@seraphinawalker7723]

Finding Happiness by Swami Kriyananda (a movie - not a book and a true must see!) Thank you Angelia!

[@LizO612]

Thanks for this quick intro to the Four-Hour Workweek. Right now I'm loving Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. There are a lot of similarities between the two!

[@lionamax]

I've been wanting to read this book for a while, now I really need to!

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Add it to your reading list!

[@AngeliaTrinidad]

Let me know what you think!! :)

[@sunnypurdin4634]

I think Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book in a similar way. It teaches you about passive income and that being patient towards a goal will bring you much greater rewards in the long run. Something the pashfam probably knows about!

[@PilotsCorner]

I love this video. I am scaling the bottom of the barrel at this point, it seems so impossible for me but I just don’t want to believe that. I just ordered that book and can’t wait to read it. I gave you a thumbs up and just subscribed 😃😃😃

[@tiffanyd.caesar4162]

I really enjoyed Steve Jobs autobiography...

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Thanks for sharing with us Tiffany!

[@casecase6]

Would love to see a "day in the life" or maybe Week for you Angelia, what does it really look like, as CEO... thanks for sharing!

[@AngeliaTrinidad]

ooo, I will add it to the list! thanks for sharing!

[@bluheart50]

My favorite motivational book for life is The Four Agreements. It provides perspective to maintain a balanced and healthy outlook on what we need and want. This includes how we approach our personal and work lives. I have read it over 10 times to reinforce the ideas and to make sure I am following the principles. Adding 4 hour work week to my unread bookshelf. Appreciate the rec!

[@justdessely2371]

I love the no f*cks given series by Sarah Knight. Her books are hilarious but so packed with awesome information at the same time. The life changing magic of not giving a f*ck seriously changed my perspective on my life and how to live it for myself and what I find important.

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Another great that we have here at Passion Planner HQ! Glad to hear that's helped you shift your perspective to what matters to you! We appreciate you sharing!

[@AngeliaTrinidad]

Thank you for all your support and special thanks to Tim for writing this life changing book many moons ago!

[@debbied7059]

This book is on my list to read. I found The Purple Cow by Seth Godin to be very inspirational. I’ve read it many times over.

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Thanks for sharing with us! We have some of his books in reading queue!

[@KimSJoy]

One of my favorite books is Overcoming Underearning by Barbara Stanny. I always underpriced my work and realize now I was telling people my work is not worth the money, gamechanger! Love your videos and love Passion Planner! Already set up my undated one for 2020 and will be organized even before the year starts!

[@jonnamertens7213]

Thanks. I was able to download the audio book from the library and look forward to listening.

[@LauriSolvb]

This is my favorite series! Could you make an effective meeting video? And integrate it to your planner? I always feel like they are a waste of time, and when it’s relevant I struggle to include/change in my planner..

[@AngeliaTrinidad]

LauriSolvb oo I will put it on the list of videos to make!

[@twblass]

Love this book, and it's definitely time for a reread. One of my current favorite books about productivity is It's About Time by Valorie Burton.

[@AngeliaTrinidad]

Thank you for sharing! Will look into it!

[@NikkiClearyCEO]

Thank you Angela for that great reminder to go back and re-listened to the four hour work week. My all-time favorite personal development book, is the 15 invaluable laws of growth by John Maxwell.

[@claivlys2]

Thank you for your insight! I thought about getting this book a while back, but the idea of a four-day workweek sounded unrealistic. Your mini review helps put it in perspective. If you like fours, I suggest checking out The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. I would also recommend Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes. These have been excellent in offering guidance, direction, and encouragement.

[@tomparker6470]

Thanks for the video! Good message. I now will look through my books to find my copy and read it again. As far as a book recommendation, as a retired business person, it is my opinion that many would be entrepreneurs are uncomfortable with the sales process. The best book I have ever found to change this is "Non-Confrontational Power Selling" by David Jacobson. It is written for auto sales people but the sales ideas can relate to any field. I think it is out of print and might be hard to find but well worth it. A good side hustle would be to license it as a digital product

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Thanks for sharing Tom! Love hearing you insight on the David J. book!

[@casecase6]

This is exactly my hesitation, thanks for sharing!

[@erickajenifer7074]

The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes

[@flatwhite27]

Thank you for this. Not that I am an entrepreneur but this really helped.

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Glad to hear Esther!

[@Justthinksalot]

I love these videos you are marking. Short and full of great content

[@hinatalieclaire]

Thanks for this video. I can't wait to get this book and read it - heard so many good things about it. It was great to hear more about your background and family - hearing about your story and how you got to where you are today inspires me. One book I love is the E-Myth that's a good one for entrepreneurs.

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Glad you enjoyed this Natalie! Thanks for watching and sharing the E-Myth with us!

[@MarieEdwards]

Thank you for another great video, posted on my son's 20th birthday, what a great gift. I would recommend 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, Atomic Habits by James Clear, Grit by Angela Duckworth. Anything written by Melody Ross and Brené Brown

[@thedragonm8]

I love your content so much and it's really building a good foundation for my mindset on life, especially coming straight out of college! I recently read Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, it helped me learn how to hone my focus on what to accomplish each day, and finding fulfilment in what I did too (and of course, there are many other reasons why I love this book). I'm planning to use some of its principles in my passion planner when it comes this week!

[@user-ds7qc8sl2m]

Inspirational stuff. Definitely going to read/listen to that book as I would never see ££££ as my goal in life but this makes me really see possibilities ahead

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Thanks for the support Karen! Hopefully, $$$ should be viewed as a tool to get you to where you hope to be, instead of $$$ being the end goal.

[@linderrp]

Thanks for sharing Angelia! I actually read the book and was very driven by the ideas but had let the momentum go with time. I see now that just reading it once really isn't enough to ingrain knowledge and even you own vision and goals. You need to remind yourself of your goals constantly...😮 I am reading "Smart Women Finish Rich" by David Bach at the moment to get a better grasp on personal finance. I will definitely take a cue from you and reread Ferriss' book and others that I want to retain!!!

[@michellebuker4468]

I love "The Barefoot Executive" by Carrie Wilkerson

[@casecase6]

Could we get this book with a Passion Planner cover? Lol would be cute to tote around together :D Thanks for sharing! Going to the library tonight!

[@liliana1lfr]

Love to hear about life changing books. On kind of another plane, Peggy Dean's Botanical Line Drawing has started me drawing again.

[@irettareginahanson1331]

Great video. Bought this book last year and havent finished it. I was lost in finding what I wanted to do as a career and I fell in love with counseling. However, I've always been interested in entrepreneurship and this video just sparked an idea for me. Thanks for the video and I'm hoping to meet you/play basketball with you one day 😂 see you at the top!

[@tosinwilliams8281]

I am now buying this book and share my thoughts on it later. I already use the passion road map in my Passion Planner so this will be a great new way to use it. Thank you for the video.

[@TraceyFisherAvonandTS]

Thanks for the awesome video. The book or I should say books I really loved are by Jen Sincero. My favorite is You Are A Badass At Making Money. Loved that one! 😊❤

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Thanks, Tracey! Yesssss, we're big fans of Jen S. here at Passion Planner! We have quite a few copies of her different books here at our office! Thanks for the support!

[@amydauplaise2468]

My favorite entrepreneurship self-improvement book: The Success Principles by Jack Canfield.

[@atemxyz]

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, Atomic Habits by James Clear and Originals by Adam Grant Thank you so much for everything you do

[@karinbara4537]

Deep Work by Cal Newport

[@terilynn4610]

I am reading Go Pro by Eric Worre. Great book.

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Thanks for sharing! We'll have to check this one out!

[@robertasalgado7657]

I currently read Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson. A great read about dealing with change! :)

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Thanks for sharing Roberta, we'll add that to our list!

[@rachelmist8002]

Thankyou for another lovely video Angelia! I love in Australia and I recommend YOUR DREAM LIFE STARTS HERE BY KRISTINA KARLSSON

[@mzbecker2]

Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod

[@tosinwilliams8281]

You have amazing videos but can you please also submit closed captions with your videos or hire a transcriber? This KZbin auto one is off and I would really like to fully enjoy your videos without watching rewinding a lot of time.

[@AngeliaTrinidad]

Tosin Williams yup we’re on it!!

[@PassionPlannerVideo]

Hi Tosin, the closed captions are up! Thanks for hanging in there! Appreciate your support!
