Last weekend Tim Ferriss, author of the The 4-Hour Workweek, dished with the attendees of BiztechDay for two hours. I finally asked him my burning question: How do I take a few months off a year to live in Amsterdam and still manage my business? This has been on my to-do list for the last five years, I just haven’t creatively figured a way to make it happen.

These are his suggestions for me:

· Search home exchange sites
· Throw or give away half of what I own to decrease my attachment to Seattle
· Do my business in Amsterdam and work for the Dutch. He says I could work one-third of the amount of time and still make the same amount of money, with the current value of the dollar.
· Create an online mailbox with Earth Class Mail
· Re-read the mini retirement chapter of his book, The 4-Hour Workweek
· Underplan, underpack… just do it!
· Read Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf Potts, and I will be out of here tomorrow!

Do you have more creative ideas for me?
