I am truly convinced that the other reviewers of this book have a monetary stake in raving about it. Yes - I am accusing them of being liars!

This review is from: How to Start Your Own Business with No Money and No Risk (Paperback)
I am truly convinced that the other reviewers of this book have a monetary stake in raving about it. Yes - I am accusing them of being liars!
This book was insulting. When it arrived, by the size of it, I thought it was some sort of self help pamphlet. After reading the first three chapters - if you can call 2 pages each a chapter, all I had learned thus far was what this book was supposedly going to do for me in the remaining 15 pages.
By chapter four, I realized that this book was going to give me no pertinent information about how to start a business, but darn it, I was going to have some great - hug yourself - self-esteem when I was finished.
My favorite part of the book though - other than the suggestion to wash dogs, or deliver food as my brilliant no risk business idea - was the offer at the end of the book to sell more books for the author. How considerate of her to think of me.
This book is a joke! Don't waste your money!

I started reading your book and wow.... I couldn't put it down! I lived that so called business dream. From the outside we were very successful. My software company did millions of dollars in sales. However, after seven years of paying those millions back to; employees, suppliers, banks, landlords, accountants, and lawyers, I said enough and sold the company. With your crystal clear guidance I can really see how the next million is going to stay in my pocket! Everyone needs to read this book! A very grateful thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read, August 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Start Your Own Business with No Money and No Risk (Paperback)
If you are considering starting your own business you must read this book. And if you already have your own business and want to find new and risk free ways of growing it, buy this book and read it again and again. Robin will show you ways to get business that I had thought of but could not execute in my 14 years of business. In just two weeks since reading the book I have been able to implement the ideas with four separate clients with great success. One deal alone will net my company $60K profit this year.

Some books try to get you to buy the book with the title and then do not deliver. This book delivers. With many of the ideas that Robin gives you, you do not need any money or risk to implement them. I know it sounds impossible - I was skepital as well - so I bought the book, read it, read it again, and then tested a few of the ideas that would cost no money. They worked - I say the risk I have now is not using more of the ideas in the book.

The book is easy to read and you can and must read it again and again to get the ideas that you may have missed the first time you read it. Buy it, read it and make money with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW - Great birthday gift, April 13, 2003
This review is from: How to Start Your Own Business with No Money and No Risk (Paperback)
I was given this book as a gift. WOW, Great gift, after reading it once I applied some of the advise given, and IT WORKED! So I read it a second time to let ALL the information take a hold of me. It is a "quick read" book at 64 pages and that is helpful, when you want to actually make money and not just read about it.

If anyone is wondering if I have a monetary stake, yes my OWN! No-one else including the author can help you if you are to lazy to help yourself first. Yes it is a SELF-HELP book. If you have read this book and it does nothing for you, try helping yourself by applying what you have read.

I liked the encouragement it gave and the fact that someone, who does not know me, can say that "I can do it"! ANYONE, including teenagers wanting to be their own income source, can apply this book. The author invites you to make some easy money on the last page by encouraging you to refer others to read the book. I have referred many people to read books and go to restaurants for free, now I can get paid for my referrals.

In closing, if you read love stories and period books, it is because you want to get lost in the story, and becuase you have a comfort zone you don't want to leave. You will continue to live with blinkers on. BUT, If you want to move forward, read books that will Challenge you to lift yourself out of where you are at and this book does just that.

EXCELLENT READING

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Marketing Strategies, August 22, 2000
By 
Lauren Connell (Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Start Your Own Business with No Money and No Risk (Paperback)
Thank you Robin for sharing your tested successful marketing strategies. As an entrepreneur they are invaluable. I wish I had them a decade ago when I was experiencing survival success in a previous business venture. Live and learn and thank you for sharing what you know works.

I am so excited about the strategic alliances ideas that I have already purchased the book for a few friends. My senior friend can adopt this stategy and create multiple income streams with the folks he has done business with for years and supplement his limited income.

The host beneficiary or horse rider marketing idea is awesome. I can see win/win business relationships growing with all involved sharing interdependent and independent business growth and success.

Bravo! A book well worth the read, it says: "Yes, you can create a financially successful destiny!" Robin provides the tools, all we need to do is put them to work.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Start Your Own Business with No Money and No Risk, June 7, 2003
By 
This review is from: How to Start Your Own Business with No Money and No Risk (Paperback)
After reading this book, I decided to try some of the concepts and they WORKED! Easy read, fast-paced and simple, yet these ideas work in my business and have helped me make more money in a short period of time.
Once I got the mindset, it opened up new vistas of opportunities to me. Now I see many ways to create incomes outside of my business and in my business. Robin Elliott certainly knows his stuff. I've been in business for years and yet this helped me a lot.
If all books were this effective and the results were so fast, it would be great. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to absorb every word, October 30, 2000
This review is from: How to Start Your Own Business with No Money and No Risk (Paperback)
I wanted to absorb every word in Robin Elliott's book "How To Start Your Own Business With No Money and No Risk". With every chapter I reflected on ideas, strategies and techniques that I could apply to my own company. Robin Elliott's book is to the point and gives a focus on what will work why. Robin's ideas will eliminate countless hours of trial and error.
