For the Four Hour Workweek blog, I was a finalist in a recent video competition. I wanted to show exactly how I live the digitally nomadic lifestyle. Want to see how I manage to travel the world, work 3h59m per week, and start businesses all over the world? Watch the video.

I first saw Mr. Sethi’s video on the 4HWW site when he was a finalist in the recent contest there.
His video was different: while other entries focused on what their authors were able to do after applying some ideas from Tim Ferriss and his fresh, ingenious book, Mr. Sethi gave specific details about his method for achieving his location and time independence.
Method and details were what the contest originally asked for. Just like they tell you in school: be sure you answer what the test question actually askes you to answer, not what you think is asked! Mr. Sethi followed the directions better than most, in my opinion.
As I tried to “back engineer” Mr. Sethi’s results, I found some of the areas where I could use more information. Hopefully, as a fan and aspiring digital nomad, I’ll be able to follow in his footsteps.
Mr. Sethi’s use of newly-found time and resources to help children is also inspiring me to lend a hand to those less fortunate.
Thank you, Mr. Sethi.
Cheers,
Ben Randle
You’re da man! Seriously, I watched your video before I’d read the 4HWW work and was sold already! I was really envious of you just owning a few things and travelling the world while earning an income as that’s my dream (which I’d given up on). As a developer myself I’ve put a slightly different spin on your idea and will see how I go. Many thanks for the video and most importantly, the inspiration!
