Description:

Yanik Silver was this year’s runner-up Best Financial Performer in the StartupNation Home-Based 100. He’s making millions, yes, but he’s a slacker at heart. He has no employees, outsources everything, and uses the following auto-response e-mail:

"Hi there. Because of my schedule and to make sure I get more stuff done (both work & fun) - I am checking email twice per day at 12pm and 5pm on weekdays (unless I'm traveling and then it's even less). If you truly need an urgent reply, please call my private cell."

Now that’s a slacker for you.
