Mel Ziegler started "The Banana Republic" after reading this book. I started my company soon thereafter.

If you have what it takes to question the prevailing paradigm and are determined to be happy at work, you'll find this book a refreshing, important alternative. If they don't get it in Estonia, shame on them, but I know it was the best $10 I ever spent.

This review is from: Earning Money Without a Job: Revised for the 90s (Paperback)

I read the earlier edition years ago. It's a positive, upbeat book about creating multiple "profit centers" (or income streams, if you prefer to think of it that way) and planning for those "spaghetti days" when nothing is coming in. I wasn't as prepared then as now to put those principles in place, so I'm happy to have the revised edition.

What I like best is that he provides a broad enough spectrum of ideas in his books so that none of them are industry-specific. (By contrast, a lot of consulting books focus on only management consulting and many freelance books focus on journalism or advertising when you might be in IT, interior design, or tutoring.)

The Guru of Guerilla Marketing knows his stuff. So far, I never met a Levinson book I didn't like.

The author lays out many, many ideas in this book. While reading, my mind was constantly asking if that idea was for me or not. This book motivated me to consider other ideas. Jay Conrad Levinson challenges readers to turn these ideas into opportunities by acting on them immediately. He truly is a guerrila marketer.
