Andrea has compiled a lot of great ideas for coaches and other entrepreneurs to capitalize on what they know, based on a myriad of new ways to generate income and create passive income. At the heart of her writing is the idea that we don't need to limit ourselves by earning income solely based on billable hours...and the fact that we can package and re-package our information, processes, and expertise in many different ways for many different audiences. I also appreciated the notion that we can take a "coaching approach" when teaching our content no matter what media we select.

Although I appreciate the benefit of Andrea's ideas and inspiration, I did not like the layout of the book. For example, I didn't like her over-use of one- and two-sentence paragraphs, subpar highly pixelated graphics, and the "thrown together" look and feel of the book. In contrast, the content was fairly well organized and the book was a quick read, which kept me engaged enough to read it from cover to cover.

I loved this book! It was just what I needed, just when I needed it.

This book was a great wake-up call for me at a time when I was about to re-structure my business. It is too easy to get so wrapped up in your business and all you see everyday are the 'trees'. After reading this book I said "Hey look, a forest".

I have known the concept of multiple streams and the value of group coaching and I have seen the models in action. However, this book resonated with me and I found myself taking notes and journaling new ideas for products and services I will create and implement.

A 300 + page book can seem daunting when you are busy, but the tone and the style the book is written in allows you to sail through the book with ease.

If you are a Coach, you owe it to yourself to read this book!!

If you are a coach, of any kind, "selling" hours and wondering how you ever break out of the rat race (the only way to make more money is to work yet more hours), this book can change your life. For the better!

Since this book was written a couple of years ago, there are other books on creating multiple streams of income that provide more details on each of the streams. Janet Switzer's "Instant Income" and Robert Allen's "Multiple Streams of Internet Income" are two excellent books that come to mind. But, the strength of this book is the author's determination to help coaches discover a means of supporting their coaching mission. And author, Andrea Lee's work with Thomas Leonard, the father of personal coaching as we know it today, makes hers a voice to be listened to, by all coaches.

The logic of the strategy presented is irrefutable. Provide clients with multiple means to absorb your wisdom. And, by doing so, create scalable revenue opportunities that can supplement, if not overtake, chargeable hour revenue.

Side note: I enjoyed the unique writing style of short thoughtful blasts. Some may be put off by it (and one reviewer was), but it worked well for me.

I am especially glad I grabbed this book before a cross-country flight. I devoured the book on the 4+ hour ride and the punchy writing style unleashed within me a torrent of very worthwhile ideas. I landed with over 30 implementable actions written in the back of the book. I am confident these actions will advance my multiple endeavors. For that, I am most grateful to Andrea Lee. As she herself said late in the book "The act of reading fertilizes, moisturizes and exercises my brain, and my clients benefit immeasurably."

Andree Lee does an ok job laying out the different coaching streams of income. Some of the ideas were a little too hard core for me. I thought "car salesman techniques" a few times. Having said that, if you are struggling with making money as a life coach then this book is worth the read.

I am curious who decided that all life coaches should make millions of dollars? Is it not enough to make a really good living at what you love doing? I think so!

This book is a must have for all Coaches. The strategies in this book will help both new and seasoned Coaches connect with new clients. The different approaches and products discussed in this book are a win-win situation for both clients and coaches. These approaches will benefit the diverse needs of coaching clients too.

Andrea J. Lee is one of the thought leaders in the coaching industry for good reason.

This book is her manifesto about how coaches can get beyond the billable hour to create additional revenue streams. And she knows from whence she comes, since her business model as a coach truly embraces the idea of multiple streams in a big way.

If you are a beginning coach, it may seem daunting to tackle this head-on, but if you digest the ideas of the book and then let them evolve in natural ways, you will find ways to make these concepts work for yourself. And then your coaching practice will truly blossom into a thriving small business!
