The zero hour work week is a free ebook about liberating yourself and do what you love written by Jonathan from Illuminated Mind.

I’ve been reading many books on the subject lately so I’d not be impressed from general good copywriting, but this one contains a bunch of very useful stuff about realizing your dreams that I decided to write a review here.

The book is divided in four main areas where Jonathan describes how he was able to escape the 5-9 workweek and dedicate himself completely to do what he likes. There are also many case studies with many internet entrepreneurs (mostly bloggers) and various techniques that are certainly worth reading for you.

But the part I enjoyed most of the book is the one where he talks about how he select the work he needs to do and how the help of others is important for your success.

Very few people ever mention this so I was very excited to hear what he had to say.

In particular he talks about his ability to select high value activities to do and how he shares them with others.

His words:

“Creating a list of my highest leverage tasks, and deliberately choosing what I’m going to work on each day.”

And:
“Being a part of an accountability/mastermind group.”

How just two sentences have the potential to transform the direction of your business. Let’s dig in them deeper.

The first one is simple. He presumably don’t like to spend his time checking emails and statistics, chatting in msn. Instead he might prefer to do high value activities like writing a free book (or a paid one), writing articles and enjoying his life.

Maybe I think I will start to use that cool order feature in my todo list application ;)

But what about that accountability/mastermind group? I never did that but I’m curios and I want to. It would mean that I could have the opportunity to talk about my goals in front of someone else and to prioritize and report to them what I’m going to do to make them happen.

It sounds like a fantastic idea and I’ve already shared it with a friend (he’s not an internet guy) and he agreed to give it a try.

Anyway, this is just some of the good stuff you’ll find inside the book, and as I said earlier in this post, it’s free to get, and it’s an awesome read on its own, so definitely get your copy here.
