Christine's book is phenomenal. The Freedom Formula is one of those rare business books that is hard to out down and when you're done, you realize that not only have you learned something special, you also feel better for having read it. Too many business books focus on hard driving wealth accumulation strategies that often don't sync with your personal desire to contribute and make a difference in the lives of others. Christine eloquently points out how these two goals are not mutually exclusive and following the strategies she outlines, you realize that focusing more on the Soul of your business will actually lead to more money in your bank!

This wonderful little book was given to me by a close friend and I was very interested in the many insights that I had not read anywhere else. Christine Kloser has demonstrated that spiritually is a necessary part of business planning and execution. As a business owner, I have frequently struggled with maintaining a balanced perspective between my business life and my "normal" life. With the many useful exercises included in the book, I am able to more fully integrate a healthier vision of my business and personal life.

Christine Kloser does a better job than anyone I know of integrating spiritual principles with effective business practices. She starts in the right place -- a soul-based business -- and the profitable business practices flow from that. It was a quick and delightful read, and every single section had both inspiration and practical action. Implementing Christine's five steps is helping my business grow. Thanks!

It was my curiosity about the promise of The Freedom Formula that caused me to pick it up. It was the powerful content that kept me from putting it down. I have been an entrepreneur for many years. I have always had a struggle with the balancing act of incorporating my spiritual life into my business life. Business is all about results, balance sheets, profit and loss etc. Many business leaders will declare that dealing with reality is a vitally important business skill. Faith, hope and optimism do not show up in QuickBooks and are rarely the basis of a boardroom discussion. And yet the greatest spiritual truths practically insist that our belief, faith and spirituality are the keys to Success. In our modern world of rapid change we need a solid formula to successfully incorporate both our business skills and our spiritual nature. If you are a spiritually orientated entrepreneur then The Freedom Formula will help you do exactly what it says, Put Soul in Your Business and Money in Your Bank. If you are ready to live a "real" life of balance then the Freedom Formula will show you how to do it. True balance is not about managing all the details of our external lives. Rather,if we balance the internal aspects of our lives everything else tends to take care of itself. If that is what you are ready to do, then The Freedom Formula is for you.

The Freedom Formula inspired me to move forward with my business. I have wanted to start my own business for a while now and after reading this book I became aware of the fact that I need to start now. There was a reason this book came to me when it did. I felt it in my heart and soul and The Freedom Formula gave me this clarity.

Christine Kloser has a way with words that actually moves you. Even the most skeptic person (like me) will be inspired. She not only tells you how to achieve freedom in your life and business but gives you access to an action guide so you can work through it.

I would recommend this book to any one from the most experienced entrepreneur who feels they need more freedom in their life and business or for the person at the other end of the spectrum, one who has an amazing idea for a business in their heart and may just need a little push to get it going.

She had me from hello - or at least from the title bursting through the clouds on the book's cover. FREEDOM ... FORMULA ... SOUL ... (MY OWN) BUSINESS ... and it's okay to actually make MONEY too? That alone made it worth the PERMISSION price.

But more than a feel-good book, Christine Kloser mixes practical advice for the entrepreneur with specific examples from her own experiences - "failures" included (though she would say there are no failures)- while tightly holding to her premise(and I paraphrase) that there is a divine plan and presence in one's business as well as in one's life - that in fact, one's business is an EXTENSION of one's life - and both business and life are to be enjoyed, shared, and successful.

I had a small business for years that while producing a great product was unsatisfying and showed little profit. Christine has a similar background and then discovered the key to her higher success was in connecting with her higher self and a higher spirit. It's too early for me to tell you that this book is going to show me the money, but through her story and advice (and exercises in the book, "What Color Is Your Parachute") I created a business plan for a new venture ... and so far I'm noticing and enjoying more positive results.

For the last five years, I have worked with hundreds of companies across the Chicago area as they try to develop green or sustainable businesses. I have found that the most sustainable businesses are almost always the most soulful businesses. I like the Freedom Formula because it helps readers go look at the spiritual side of running a business, and links to many online tools that are truly useful.

There are many aspects of the Freedom Formula that support the ideas in my book, It's Time to Be an Idealistic Environmental Capitalist: Your Guide to Creating a Sustainable Business and Career.I will be recommending this book to my clients to add their library of must have reference books for becoming a sustainable business.

You don't have to sell your soul to be a millionaire. "The Freedom Formula: How to Put Soul in Your Business and Money in Your Bank" is a guide for entrepreneurs who want to stay true to themselves when they do their business. If you hate yourself for doing what you do, is the money really worth it? With much motivation within to combat procrastination, and face the competition, "The Freedom Formula" is an intriguing and very much recommended read for businesspeople.

I have been following Christine's work for awhile now and finally had the chance to read her book, The Freedom Formula. I found it beautifully written and a joy to read. It is an inspirational and informative book filled with useful content and exercises to apply the material. This book seems Divinely inspired as Christine leads the conscious entrepreneur on a journey to create a business that is deeply soulful as well as prosperous. I encourage you to read this book and sign up for Christine's newsletter, which is a great resource of information and inspiration. In fact, I have been so inspired by Christine that I decided to publish my second book (Getting Over Stage Fright) with Love Your Life Publishing, which is a company she started. Christine is clearly "the real deal" and has much to offer entrepreneurs who want to take their business to the next level.

I really enjoyed this book. It was the exact thing I needed at the right time. I am on my second reading of the book, and this time taking the time to do all the exercises Christine offers. In combination with the freedom formula teleclasses Christine has been offering recently this has really given me the tools I need to break through limiting, poverty beliefs and attract the 6 figure business I desire!
