I didn't realize you had reviewed this book. I agree that I've read better, and the comment about using kids as an excuse really irked me. Definitely not something someone with no kids should say to people with kids! I’m always finding little things on your blog that I’ve missed! I didn’t realize you had reviewed this book.

Ferris embodies some of the least attractive aspects of the "entitled" narcissistic elements of our society. It does not lack elements of sociopathy as well, quite frankly. Good review, Terry!

Any business venture takes an upfront investment - and that investment is going to come in one of two forms: time or money (if not both). The ROI is sweet though! This is my 12th year in business, and while the start-up years were a little "rough & scary"... these days I blog from my back deck and have a pretty laid back lifestyle. People who know me now think I "have it easy" and think I can show them how to "be like me" as if it can be done with the tap of a wand. Most people arent willing to <a href="http://www.clicknewz.com/886/the-work-at-home-dream-is-it-worth-the-risk/">take the risk</a> ;) Agreed.

I just hate when the public buys into the Hype & Hope only to be dismayed & discouraged. Ya know? That's the biggest killer for real entrepreneurship which - like it or not - takes a lot of hard work. I just wish sometimes people would be honest about that simple fact. Sure - my life gets easier & better w/ every new system I implement in my business & with ever new VA hired to take on some of the burdens. But in order to get to that point - esp if you're self-funded ... it-takes-a-lot-of-blood-sweat-n-tears! There! Isaid it! It's out there now for all to know. hmmm… never even thought about it like that – good insight you’ve got!

That’s the biggest killer for real entrepreneurship which – like it or not – takes a lot of hard work.

I disliked this book on so many points, but I think the biggest being that it lacked any real proof or examples and smelled of just another 'scheme' to fund his travels.

Really? cuz I thought I heard that term way back when during my college years in Palm Beach... hmmm... guess they coined the "french" version? perhaps? Anyhoo Thanks for being a voice in the darkness on this book - when sooooo many just blindly joined the bandwagon on this in their quest to promote for their own profit by doing so :( I really could go on about how Book Titles like this purely focused on "marketing" to fool the masses that it's ACTUALLY possible - but I'll refrain... cuz I think my four hours are already UP for the week - and it's only Tuesday!

Can't imagine having kids and being in a comfort zone.

I have to say that I think many parents *do* use their kids as an excuse...I have seen and heard this quite q bit. But we net marketing Moms are a different breed. I feel as you do, my kids are my motivation. I want to teach them how to have a 4 hour workweek via the Internet. Have you heard of Rhea Perry? She's a big inspiration and one of my favorite moms online. Also - where did you get the Tip script? I have thought of installing one myself.
