Description
The NR (New Rich) - eCommerce Retail HK Meetup #2
Join us at our monthly NR (New Rich) - eCommerce Retail Meetup in collaboration with Garage Academy and connect with fellow entrepreneurs on how to automate your workflow, outsource menial tasks and create an auto-pilot income stream.
Inspired by the work of Tim Ferriss in teaching entrepreneurs how to become “NR” - new rich, by embracing time, mobility and the power of technology, this series of meetups will be dedicated to focusing on how to achieve a 4-hour workweek and/or continue to grow your revenue as a 4-hour workweek NR in Hong Kong.
Each month expect a series of lightning talks before opening up the floor for questions and networking drinks with the NR Community.
