I just wanted to say that I started reading the 4 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris. Just from the first chapter I can tell he things a lot like me. I've heard this book was great and had actually bought it over the summer but never go around to reading it until now. What the heck was I waiting for??

Yep, it's nothing less than mind altering.
I've given myself the task this week of hiring my first outsourcee from the Philippines. Apparently you can hire someone fairly highly skilled for $500/mo or less - full time.
I know several who have done just that. But it's still a little intimidating to hire someone from oversees. But hey...anything worth doing is at least a little scary, no? ;-)
Enjoy the book!

The Engineering company I work for hires hundreds of Philipines to work down in our GTMO office.
I deal with them on occasion and I have to warn you that you MUST be very specific in what you want them to do. Also the language barrier can cause problems as well. Not saying they are bad workers or stupid, just saying from experience.
