User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Decent Book about Doing the Psychological Homework to be Self Employed
The book is a fun read with a lot of stories and exercises sprinkled in. It is not a rigorous book, but a book to inspire you to find your own solutions and find your own creative passion. I like the phrase “multiple profit centers” that she coins. It is not my favorite book on self employment and making money, but it is a good one. Oddly enough the author herself quotes a few of my favorites and apparently drew inspiration from those also! I think the key is to just get the idea and give it a chance. I would, however, recommend not getting into debt at all if possible and not be in a rush to invest/risk money in a venture. In the beginning, with a “shoestring marketing” the inevitable mistakes will cost less that way. The author does keep this reasonableness front and center.

4 Stars Very good resource

I don’t know why the author went down that path alone; even during the timeframe she apparently refers to (early- to mid- 70s) I found no shortage of helpful and encouraging information about self-employment and successfully implemented some of them.

BUT, this book is different. Aside from suggesting daily affirmations (which I do not do), everything else was just well written, good, down to earth advice. I would like see to read the new edition of this book.

4 Stars extremely helpful! – I now work for myself.
Thanks to this book and Quit Your Job (and Never Go Back) – How to Create, Start, & Market an Online Business for Under $500 in 30 Days or Less, I am no longer punching the clock! Of course, with the economy the way it is, had I not made the move when I did, I might not be punching a clock regardless.

This book really helped me to change my mindset and see that work didn’t have to equal hard and boring. Growing up with parents who had a crazy work ethic and would do ANYTHING to keep food on the table, regardless of whether it was enjoyable, I had a lot of these same values instilled in me.

Now, I’m not saying that we should be lazy, but somehow it seemed to be that if I did something that I liked, that would make me lazy. After all, nobody gets paid for doing something they love, right?

WRONG! I am now one of those people. Not rich, but comfortable. Work from home, set my own hours, and because my work is online, I can even work from the beach if I want.

It is possible and this book will help you to see that! It will help you to move beyond your fear and into a situation where you have MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME.

Read it and start doing the work you love!

4 Stars Solid book with a lot to offer
i went on a buying spree of books all about trying to figure out what to do for work, and this one is by far the best one I had come upon out of about 6. I always read wiht a highlighter or pen in hand in case there is anything that I want to remember for future readings.

It was annoying because every other page had something that jumped off the page and made sense in my trying to figure things out. I used my highlighter more on this book than any book I have ever read. There is a lot of good stuff in here. Definitely recommend.

4 Stars Searching for the answers
It’s a fairly simplified exploration of suggested ideas. I was searching for something deeper , the “Aha,” factor.
