This gets me pointed in the right direction. Like the 80/20 rule, and i need to revisit for various online tools and links that could make more productive and save money. (  ) bigcastoro | Dec 5, 2009 |  This is a MUST for any budding entrepreneur or anyone wanting to get out of the rat race. Full of tips and tricks as well as step by step guide of how to do it. Listing plenty of useful websites too to make life easier. Highly recommended! Peggy72 | Aug 5, 2009 | Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan, there is no need to wait and every reason not to. HanoarHatzioni | Jun 8, 2009 | My preference for this book is very uneven. It's not what I expected exactly. I very much enjoyed the discussion regarding paradigm shifting in lifestyle choices and strategies. The discussions includes things like thinking globally, divesting yourself from some of the never used "energy sapping material things" in your life, and focusing your efforts on the things that you really enjoy doing. The author is very much the extrovert (I am not) though and the book is written from that point of view. The "business creating stuff" was of some interest (and might be more to others) but did not hold my fascination and I found myself flipping through these page rather quickly. ( ) stevetempo | May 25, 2009 | Overall I liked the book, though I thought his suggestions for creating an income stream were a little gimmicky and his criticism of deferred compensation seems overly optimistic after the economic crisis. On the positive side, you can gain a lot of useful ideas for time and task management. Also, it has a lot of good financial information showing how one can afford to take “mini-retirements” from their career – cheap travel, insurance, maintain finances remotely etc, etc. The book is also backed by a web site with good resources for analyzing your situation. Though I would not follow his entire method, I picked up a lot of good ideas and it encouraged me to attempt a few things I thought I would never have the money or time to do. Recommended.

Forget “follow your dreams.” Ferriss recommends creating intellectual property by searching Writer’s Market for obscure magazines with 15,000-plus circulations whose readers spend money in the same consumer patterns as, say, bass fishermen, then asking the magazines’ advertising directors to e-mail you rate cards while you search back issues for repeat advertisers who sell directly to consumers via 1-800 numbers and Web sites. I’m not kidding. That’s Step 1.
