Summary: The book I always go back to for inspiration
Comment: I bought this book in 1998 -- back when the economy was booming -- and it is one of the few books that is as relevant today as it was then.
Yes, it's about being your own boss -- but it's about living your life...doing things you enjoy doing and things you're good at and making a living at it.
As a person who has a business, this book is about getting started, about keeping yourself inspired and staying focused and passionate about what you do. It isn't, however, a bunch of navel gazing rhetoric, like some of the books in this genre. At the same time, the book requires some honest introspection, and talks about the things you may have to sacrifice in order to live a life away from the usual.
This book is wonderful. And I highly recommend it to anyone who a) wants to have her/his own business, or b) currently has a business and has lost the passion -- it is a great kickstart.

Summary: Inspiring and Uplifting
Comment: I read this book in one stretch. This book gave me the inspiration I needed in planning my own jobless living. After getting freed from the shackles of corporate America, when I tried to start something on my own, I experienced the same kind of enthusiasm and burst of ideas as described in this book. I have never felt so healthy and upbeat in my life. As a self-starter, I could relate to this book immediately. It gave me the reassurance that the idea of making a living without a "real job" is believable and true. This idea is complemented in the book, by the numerous references to now famous names like Body Shop, Weight Watchers, personalities like Oprah and Laura Ashley.
The author explains why many people think corporate America is the only way to earn a good living. But at the same time she provides many statistics to show that a large percentage of successful Americans are self-employed. Winter gives helpful ideas like creating multiple profit centers and the $100 method. This book is an easy read and freshens your mind. It stimulates you to think and act upon your childhood dreams.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. It helped me look at making a living on my terms. She explained how you can do what you love and still pay the bills. For me, the MPCs (multiple profit centers) was an "AHA" moment! It makes so much sense!
