Replace Myself Living The Four-Hour Workweek

What Is Automation?

1. Dictionary Definition:http://www.google.com/search?q=definition%3A+automation

2. My Definition:

"Making Things happen where I don't have to think about it or be involved in it!"

(Necessary for living the Four-Hour Workweek)

My Goals For An Online Business

- Online- Recurring (Money keeps coming in long after having set it up)- Passive (I don't have to work on it)- Automated (Work still has to be done)- Successful (Duh!)

"Hiring someone in the Philippines has been one of the best decisions I've made in my business. It freed up time for me to work on things that weren't getting done before. The biggest problem is getting them to a baseline of knowledge so that when I talk to them I don't have to explain every single thing. I need a system that would help getting a person up to speed so that they're more on the same level as I am."

"My experience has been nothing but positive in hiring someone. I split our VA with my friend Matt and our guy is positive, polite, and incredibly knowledgable. The biggest problem is keeping the guy busy. It's giving him enough tasks to keep him working all the time.He's so productive, that I need a system to keep giving himtasks so he's always working."Scott Boulch
