The good:
Nice read, first 20 pages got me very inspired. Around page 15 the author gives an example of how a plumbing company got around to providing service extraordinaire so to speak.
Also I found page 155 essentially the abstract of this book: It's about a thief who so... Read full review

I started this book in the morning, and finished it a while ago. It was a pretty quick read, not exactly as great as I was expecting.

The book was written in 1996, and I couldn’t help thinking throughout it how out of date it was. No mention of the internet or internet ma... Read full review

An interesting book that gives ispiration for those are looking to work for themselves. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 4, is because it is a bit outdated (published in 1996). Many of the ideas Dan discusses are not as feasible in 2010 as they were in the 90s... Read full review

This probably killed it in 1994 when it was published. It's an older version of 4 hour work week. Lots of ideas and suggestions, but a bit out of date (mail-order business). 4 hour work week is an updated version of this book

This had a lot of really good information but it didn't really flow and was a bit dated. I will definitely be able to use some of the information from the book and apply it to my business. It is worth reading, but it won't knock your socks off.
