Experiments With The 4-Hour Workweek
A real-life 4HWW-project – Fancy 6 weeks of cash-generating relaxation in Bali?
28Jun2010 Filed under: Guests Author: Rasmus
Guest blogger: Kristian Holte of www.simplylaw.dk and Project Getaway
I’m happy to be given the chance of presenting a truly geographically independent project. This project has been 100 % shaped in accordance with core 4-Hour Workweek (4HWW)-principles. Allow me to introduce … Project Getaway.
Project Getaway is a camp for online entrepreneurs taking place in exotic locations all over the world. The first Getaway takes place in Bali this autumn and lasts for 6 weeks. 10 highly skilled and diverse online entrepreneurs will get together, work on existing as well as new projects and enjoy the paradise-like surroundings. I predict that the atmosphere is going to blow off the roof.
We have rented a luxury mansion fully equipped with staff (including chef), three pools and a 5-min walk to the beach. For me personally the living costs won’t exceed my current (I live in Denmark) and I expect actually making money by going. Tim would have liked that, huh? We are actually putting a video together as we speak inviting Tim to join us in Bali. Let’s see if we’ll get past his PA J
We already have a number of sponsors attached and are currently working to attract more. There’s a fantastic energy surrounding the project. Our website and introduction video have already stirred up some serious viral buzz without any special promotion. But then again, would you need other promotion than looking at these pictures?
We will document all our experiences via video, blogs, social media etc. This Getaway will serve as a model for the future Getaways.
Please comment and let me know what you think of Project Getaway. Personally, I’m already in love.

About this blog
Hi, my name is Rasmus and I live in Denmark. In January 2008 I read the book 
I am in the IT business and saw that some of the stuff Tim mentioned in his book, was clearly possible. And while I will never be as hardcore as Tim is, there were certainly ideas in the book that I could see myself using.
This blog is all about my experiments with Living The Four Hour Work Week - although my weeks are currently longer :)

Sounds freaking awesome Kristian. I’ve just signed up to be notified of your next event.
Could you share a little more insight on what you plan on doing in those weeks? Are people just going to work on their individual projects or will they be working together?

Hi Mikael
Thanks for sharing your interest. As a starting point we’re all going down there with our own projects to work on. But we have spoken about – and I’m positive – that we’ll work on at least one common startup for the entire PG.
I mean, we have the people to take a startup from A to Z. Developers, off- and online marketers, investors, a lawyer, designers and so on. On top of that a film crew is coming a long documenting everything

@April: your most welcome. Hope you take action on your own 4 hour workweek now when you have the book in fresh memory

Sounds great Kristian. I’ve already spoken to Bodekær and I’ll be looking forward to receiving information the next time you’re planning an event.
Thanks,
