 Must Have For Aspiring Entrepreneurs and those just thinking about it!
I came across this book at the library and once I finished, I immediately ordered a copy for myself as I know it's one of those book I want to have for my own. I am an aspiring coach and I am starting my own practice. This books is filled with positive words and full of encouragement. It's easy to read and you'll want to just underline/highlight quotes as they keep you moving towards your dream. Barbara is a witty writer and will bring out the entrepreneur in you even if you didn't know you had it.
Book to read when you're down and don't know where to go.
Very helpful to me. I used to be a Human Ressources Manager, and my self-confidence was to a low point when I bought that book. I did not start my business as a result, but my self-confidence is back and it has something to do with this book. I now know more about myself and I know I can do anything I want to do. It talks about the psychology of it too. Like, it is just that you did not fit there, not: you did something terribly wrong. And now you have to find something that fits you more and not the other way around. Enjoy!
Dont waste your money
Dont waste your money. If this isnt your very first book on business startup then it is a complete waste of money. You could do this good with 10 minutes of free research on the net.
A pleasurable and informative read.
I originally took this book out from the library and enjoyed it so much that I wanted a copy for my book shelves. Interesting insights, good research and references, and it was a fun-to-read book. That makes it a keeper. The author provides proactive ideas for getting started at "making a living without a job" and includes many obstacles that she and others have run into and how they have overcome them. Since this is a revised edition from the original, she has many years of background to reference - and she has done just that.
Making a Living-a decent self-help book for the un(der)employed
This book has some "dream your dream" kind of messages and prompts for thinking them through but it also has good
practical advice and realistic exercises that can help you figure out what to do with yourself in a recession. For instance,
once exercise is a check list for "marketing on a shoestring" including "direct mailings, business cards, brochures, referrals contacts,"
etc. Good sound advice on how to set fees, how to get ideas, etc. Real-life stories that seem real life, how to leave behind "employee" thinking and replace it with Entrepreneur's thinking, etc. I would recommend this book for anyone willingly or unwillingly out of work or who
is thinking of striking out on his/her own. Values creativity and flexibility.
