This was one of the best books I have read in a long time and ...

This was one of the best books I have read in a long time and arguable the best book of its kind. I typically describe this book as similar to the 4 hour work week but way better, much more tactical, and a must read if you study passive income streams. If you don't then your probably working on the wrong business model. I have recommended this book to about 30 people since reading it. I particularly liked the chapter on drop-shipping since I haven't explored that avenue. I also really liked the interview with the crushitwithkindle.com guy since I'm writing a book right now that was very helpful. Overall this book was layered with amazing insights about passive income streams and of course, great knowledge about outsourcing. I really liked the additional resources on your website as well. ONLY FEEDBACK is that the only chapter I think needs some serious work is the one on direct sales. As an expert in that industry I found that you make a few points that are off the mark. Obviously direct sales is a great way to leverage your income and develop and passive income stream if you have the proper partnerships and services in place. However, I'm not sure if the person you were interviewing wasn't clear but there definitely is a lot of room for improvement for that one chapter. For example, the idea of "getting in early" is misleading and just not true. I'm happy to provide some resources for a further update if you would like. Overall, i have read dozens of books in the arena and I am very grateful for your hard work on putting this together. I have seen tremendous progress in my own life in the last several weeks since reading Never Work Again. :) !!!!!!

No skill set or solid business model

I've had a chance to read this book and found it vague with no real business model for a novice to grasp. No real fundamental skill set to develop from this book. I however did find a company that can help you hone this skill set..

This book really can change your day and life: take it for a test drive: I did and it worked

I am really enjoying this book. Finding freedom and gratitude is an interesting path to take. Staying stuck in a job that sucks the life out of you is not the way we were meant to live. I chose to free myself the other day buy using some of the examples given in the book. I outsourced a small project I had been trying to finish during the last few months. I could never get it done because I didn't really have the knowledge. Thus, I took action and I outsourced my small project and it was finished in less than 2 days. This allowed me to focus on what I'm actually good at. You can literally get so much of your time back and start being productive. Start investing a little to get 10x productivity. It is incredible how a small expense can give you such a huge advantage. Imagine this, it does not even have to cost you anything. You are wasting so much money on vanity and impressing other people, when you could be helping yourself and others by freeing yourself(hiring a motivated worker in another country that will work incredibly hard for you. This secret advantage will make such a big difference in your business and life.) I highly recommend this book because it worked for me. Go ahead and put this book to the test by hiring someone. It will bring a smile to your face.

Best Book on Outsourcing!

This book is not only about making money but about finding your path, peace of mind, happiness. Its not only a business book, but its also about spirituality, especially the Taoist way.
This book shows a unique approach to ‘goal setting’…or rather ‘goal UNsetting’.
Find a balance between comfort zone and courage zone.
Balance between work and pleasure. Balance between living the life and making money.....
Erlend simply believes in over-delivering and the book comes with so many invaluable resources. He gives insiders secrets about outsourcing to Philippines. This kind of hands on information is really invaluable and hard to find anywhere else.
He gives detailed info about various business models, you can choose whichever is suitable for you.
Overall, its a total business makeover course.
I you really want to 'work less, earn more and live your Freedom', just close your eyes and buy this one, you will thank me for that.

Very Educational!

I have tried a few different ways to make an income during my life. None very successful, and all taking much of my time. I am working full time and looking for a way to make an income from an online business. This book has many great ideas, and I am looking further into a couple of them. Many good resources are listed. It is encouraging to know that success can come if you keep trying and are persistent. I look forward to having my own success in the near future.

Entrepreneurs AND Wantrepreneurs should keep this book on deck

This is a book that every wantrepreneur or entrepreneur should keep on deck - no doubt about it. If you're contemplating entrepreneurship, or maybe you're a fan of 4 hour work week, then this book is for you.

As someone who has created a product, for me this book has sparked new ideas on how to take it to the next level. The author goes above and beyond to give you just about everything you need to go out into the world and make money without an employer, as well as everything you need to know about automating you business growing it as an owner (and not having to do all the work).

I would especially recommend this book to anyone in college since it's something I wish I read when I was younger.

I enjoy reading books that are inspirational which assist in making myself more successful in business, and this one exceeded my expectations. Erlend Bakke gives not only insight into resetting your mindset, but also a primer for how several successful people got started and created wealth for themselves without falling into a trap of having work take over their lives, but instead enhance their lives. Erlend claims to have a "bucket list" of over a thousand items to help keep himself motivated which seems to be key to his philosophy. A interesting and well paced read.
