Comments on: Bribing You to Quit and Bosses as Muppets http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/08/09/bribing-you-to-quit-and-bosses-as-muppets/ Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Workweek and Lifestyle Design Blog Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:05:13 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Arlene http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/08/09/bribing-you-to-quit-and-bosses-as-muppets/comment-page-1/#comment-11002 Arlene Sat, 26 Jan 2008 22:58:47 +0000 http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/08/09/bribing-you-to-quit-and-bosses-as-muppets/#comment-11002 Thank you for writing this book that helps so many of us take another look at our priorities. I would appreciate more input on creating the "muse", the cash generating business that frees us to enjoy more things in life. I work for government, so convincing the boss that I should telecommute is a slow moving endeavor. I would LOVE to get out of cubicle jail. The problem is, I just am not having a lot of luck figuring out a muse or business to get cash coming in. Dropshippers merchandise is too overpriced to make any profit. I've searched for magazines and journals that identify with my group, but can't seem to come up with anything inspiring to sell or invent that isn't out there aleady. I've searched the patent database, and it's just overwhelming. Sorry to sound a bit negative, but while I believe in everything about not working a regular desk job, I currently need to replace the income before I jump ship. Knowing you want to do all these things in life is so frustrating when you can't figure out how to free yourself from work! Any input on how readers went about creating a successful muse would be greatly appreciated!!

I really liked the design. Did you make it yourself? I wanted to let you know about ReadPrint.com -- a massive non-profit library similar to Bartleby -- except its far better organized and user friendly. We've been using it extensively in school nowadays -- it's great for doing research since you can search within the books. Hi,
