Tim Ferriss’s Assistant’s Sudden Resignation Serves as a Warning for Trying to Have It All
An unlikely story of a slow-cooked “4-hour” disaster.
Timbo Ferriss got famous for telling us we could work 4-hour workweeks.
I’m not into the digital nomad life, so I’ll leave you to judge his philosophy. Admittedly, he says he’s matured beyond this 4-hour workweek view of the world.
Still, Tim has had plenty of wild success. The truth about influential people like him is they all have assistants.
Tim’s was Charlie Hoehn. This is his story that you’ll learn a lot from.
A bromance made in heaven
Tim’s assistant Charlie had a friend named Ramit Sethi (famous for the book “I Will Teach You To Be Rich”).
At Charlie’s request Ramit introduced him to Tim. That led to Charlie getting hired by Tim as a part-time intern. His good work led to him becoming a full-time employee of the Tim Ferriss brand.
One of the biggest projects Charlie silently worked behind the scenes on with Tim was his book “The 4-Hour Body.” Other than the books, Tim had him doing pretty much any task he could come up with.
