Remote PC Access Software Can Help You Achieve 4-Hour Workweek Lifestyle

"The 4-Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss is an incredibly popular book detailing how people with an entrepreneurial spirit can detach themselves from the typical nine to five workplace environment. The person trying to live the 4-hour workweek is often a person who either travels extensively or just prefers to do things when and where he or she wants to.

With the 4-hour workweek we aren't talking about people with money who don't need to work. These are people that have chosen to work smart - and sometimes hard - but not in the typical fashion.

In order to work where you want in today's business environment likely means you need to be connected to an office computer or office network remotely over the internet. Not in every case, but certainly in many. This is where remote PC access software comes in.

With a web based remote PC access software you don't even need your own computer; a library, hotel or other public computer will do. All you need is an internet connection and an account with a web based remote access provider such as WebEx PC Now or Citrix GoToMyPC.

With complete security you can be sitting on a beach somewhere on the other side of the world or even at home in your living room but "appear" to clients, vendors and maybe even your boss, as though you are at your desk working as normal.

Web based remote access software gives you full and complete control of a PC in another location. You can do anything from that host PC remotely that you could if you were sitting right in front of it. All of your email, files and even network resources at there at your disposal.

If you are a 4-hour workweek practitioner, you can carry a small netbook with you to access your host computer somewhere else, but you may find that a smartphone may be all you need to connect to the resources required to do the necessary work while you attend to other things in your life that are more important than work.

The Asus Eee PC is one netbook that has found many huge fans among business people with a remote lifestyle.

GoToMyPC, one of the premier web solutions, even has PocketView Wireless Access that gives you access to not just email and files, but your remote desktop as well. Even corporate internet applications can be run from your Windows Mobile cellular phone anywhere you can get a decent signal!

The 4-hour workweek lifestyle is now a potential reality for millions more people with the capabilities of remote PC access software. And with the web based remote access solutions, you don't even need to lug that laptop around anymore.

Whether you want to stay home more with the kids, commute less, or travel more; take a look at how this technology can give you more freedom with where you work. The websites in the resource box will give you more information on how to do this.
