Becoming a member of the NR is not just about working smarter. It's about building a system to replace yourself.

Every time I find myself stressed out, it's because I do things primarily driven by growth.

What's the worst that could happen?

Don’t follow a model that doesn't work. If the recipe sucks, it doesn't matter how good a cook you are.

The truth is that since the first book, I have wanted to emulate Benjamin Franklin and put together a healthy, wealthy and wise trilogy and so healthy was 'The 4-Hour Body,' wealthy was 'The 4-Hour Workweek' and then wise is 'The 4-Hour Chef.'

There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.

It's amazing how someone's IQ seems to double as soon as you give them responsibility and indicate that you trust them.
