Editorial Reviews

Review

I moved out of the city to enjoy the outdoors and my family but I have not really taken the time to do that because I have been so busy with my business. ONO has helped to remind me of the things in life that I have been overlooking. In turn, I have reevaluated both my business and personal goals in life. --Beau Value, Owner/CEO, Everest Construction

Review

I only wish I had read Marc's book 35 years ago. This book is not your typical self-help book. ONO helps you understand how applying a little discipline to your life can drastically change your lifestyle and your career to give yourself the inner peace that ONO offers. I'm buying fifty copies to give to my friends and family members.

ONO is a "must read" April 8, 2009
By D. Paul
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a big fan of business books which cut out the idealistic talk. In ONO there is no "if you can dream of making millions you will" I was amazed to find a business book which spent as much time talking about family life as it did making money. I was delighted to find a book which supports my "family comes first" mentality. ONO talks about work ethic, trust, listening, building relationships & "wants vs. needs" and these are things I can relate to. ONO is an easy read, down to earth book.

If you want to be a millionaire tommorow, then this isn't the right book for you. ONO is about "teaching you how to be a 1 thousandaire then a ten thousandaire...." and more important doing this while living a fulfilled life.

Whether you are an aspiring/successful entrepreneur or a desk jockey, Marc Warnke's book ONO is a must read. It shares ideas on "how to think" rather than "how to do" which I found very refreshing. If you're thinking of starting a business or venturing into a new career, while at the same time keeping your family first, read ONO.

When I first heard of Family First Entrepreneurs and Options not Obligations, I was excited at the prospect. I started my first business at age 8, and have been self-sufficient as an entrepreneur for the past 2 years. With five children, putting family first is a way of life.

However, I was disappointed after having read Warnke's book. It is down to earth. It addresses a mistaken worldview that working for someone else and earning a living is enough, or worse, a way to wealth. But so do a whole host of other books, ones Warnke even cites, such as the 4-Hour Workweek. The novel approach, if any, is the focus on the newfound freedom of time and wealth should be your family.

In a nutshell: Manage your time, be frugal, save money, invest in yourself, become wealthy and spend more time with your family.

My disappointment stems from the expectation of a book that would address the worker as a whole. Being a father, mother, or spouse is more than being a provider. Wealth need not be the goal to accomplishing a fulfillment of one's family role, although an entrepreneurial approach lends itself to such a goal better than working for someone else.

For example, Meg Cadoux Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farms Yogurt has developed a reputation (and a column for Inc. Magazine) on entrepreneurial and family life that is distinct from the growing number of entrepreneurial inspirational books on the market for its focus on dealing with issues unique to our situations.
