I thought it was a pretty good book. It was very long, 11 discs at about 72 minutes per disc. I thought the reader was a little dry but the information was good. I took some tips from it but most of it doesn't apply. The company I work for allows you to work from home but they really have your strings tethered. You can't work from home more than once every two weeks and it has to be scheduled, so I could never just disappear and tell people to text me.

The other thing that I noticed was how much they mentioned using other people to do the work. Basically outsourcing. Some things are okay, but everything is not. I've worked for more than one company where that came back to bite them in the ass. No one cares more about your business than you do. I could go on and on and give concrete examples but I don't know if that would fall into the realm of discussing something I shouldn't. Anyway, good information if it is for you! I'm sure anyone can take away something from this book.

My favorite part of the book were the testimonials! I am happy for everyone that can live their dream!

I stayed away from reading this books for years because it sounds so "lifehacky" and it definitely has a fair bit of that in there but overall this book is super relevant and applicable if you own your own business and/or work for a company who will not currently let you work remote. Makes me wish I owned my own business or had more control over my work so I could implement a lot of the ideas it presents. Overall a good bit better than I expected.

I liked the book overall. Most of tips and rules may not apply to you but it is good the idea and the motivation behinds suggested decisions. Overall I think anyone should take the tips with the grain of salt and based on their own situation and I don’t agree with all for sure, but it is something you need to read, learn and decide on your own.

This book has been my entrepreneurship bible. it made me step out of my comfort zone/ safe job and jumped into the deep ends of starting a business. Even though the methods in the book are outdated; the concepts and theories are still relevant.

great book

[Jean · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great book about life design, which, honestly, is a concept I never even thought about. I also recommend his podcasts, especially the shorts or inbetweenisodes (as he likes to call them).
