If anyone gets the entrepreneur's plight, it's Tim Ferriss. The East Hampton, N.Y.-raised, Princeton-educated author once worked in sales at a data storage company before starting a sports nutrition supplement company and penning The 4-Hour Workweek in 2007. The controversial New York Times bestseller inculcated readers to Ferriss's "lifestyle design" principle, serving up ways to optimize the work day and increase quality of life. Its success established him as a self-help guru and paved the way for a follow-up in 2010. Last fall, he created a stir as the first major author to sign with Amazon (AMZN) Publishing to distribute The 4-Hour Chef. At the same time, Ferriss also kept his eye on the tech scene. To date, he has invested in and advises over 30 tech companies, from Facebook (FB) and Twitter to Uber and TaskRabbit.
如果说有谁能了解创业的艰辛,这个人非蒂姆?菲利斯莫属。这位成长于纽约东汉普顿区,毕业于普林斯顿大学(Princeton)的作家曾是一家数据存储公司的销售人员,之后还开过一家运动营养品公司。2007年,他出版了《每周工作四小时》(The 4-Hour Workweek)。这本书成为《纽约时报》(New York Times)的最畅销著作,但也引起了很大争议。它极力向读者推荐菲利斯的“生活方式设计”原则,还提出了优化工作时间,提高生活质量的方法。这本书的成功让菲利斯成了自助大师,还为他在2010年出版后续作品铺平了道路。去年秋天,菲利斯和亚马逊图书出版部门Amazon Publishing签定合同,由后者发行他的新书《每周下厨四小时》(The 4-Hour Chef),成为知名作家中第一个吃螃蟹的人,轰动一时。同时,菲利斯还把注意力放在了科技领域。截至目前,他所投资或担任顾问的科技公司已经超过30家,其中包括Facebook、Twitter、租车网站Uber和网上劳务市场TaskRabbit。
