Phil Laut (Author), Andy Fuehl (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 13, 2004

"Phil Laut and Andy Fuehl are money masters! The information and the application of their wisdom is what will allow you to attract the wealth you deserve."
-Jeffery Combs
author of More Heart than Talent

"I was fortunate enough to learn many years ago that working is the very worst way to earn money. Work is made for us, we are not made for work. Our work is meant to provide us with satisfaction. We should do what we love and love what we do."
-Bob Proctor
author of the bestselling book, You Were Born Rich

"Standing out in a plethora of 'get rich' books, Wealth Without a Job goes beyond the predictable 'set goals, work hard, and pretend to be happy' approach; rather, it inspires, cajoles, and leads readers through known and tested paths to financial freedom. Phil Laut and Andy Fuehl don't just seek to change your wealth, however. Be prepared for a deeper understanding of both economics and how your mind thinks and works, so that you and your goals are driven towards each other. A compelling read."
-Dr. Dolf de Roos
author of the New York Times bestseller, Real Estate Riches

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

"People who earn lots of money from work they do not enjoy experience dissatisfaction because the money is never enough. Yet people who enjoy their work but earn so little that they are continually beset by financial problems sooner or later find that the problems overwhelm the enjoyment.

Unless you are blessed with a trust fund to pay your bills, it’s essential to devise a way for the work you love to provide an abundant income. This book provides you with that preparation."
–From the Introduction

This is a book you will read more than once. Because, unlike the garden-variety entrepreneurship guide that tells you what to do to construct a self-directed and financially successful career path, Wealth Without a Job tells you how to:

• Determine your true purpose so that you choose a business that expresses your own values and calls forth your dormant passion
• Understand the fundamental changes in today’s economic structure that virtually require self-actualizers to work for themselves
• Discover and adopt the characteristics that separate the wealthy from the others
• Earn the income you want from the work you love

Wealth Without a Job exposes the fallacies behind the once-reasonable expectation that working for someone else is your surest route to financial and emotional security. It then goes on to reveal:

• The emotions that hinder success in entrepreneurship and what you must do to minimize them while maximizing emotions proven to help you succeed
• The three ingredients necessary for effective change–Awareness, Acceptance, Action–and proven steps for incorporating them into your everyday life
• Guidelines for turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones, including launching your own business even if you are currently unemployed

If you want to earn the income you want from work you love, you have to do it on your own; naysayers will only block your progress while successful people are already busy doing it for themselves. Let Wealth Without a Job show you how to make the emotional and psychological adjustments required to become successful as your own boss, on your own terms–then, let it provide you with a step-by-step, battle-proven program for doing just that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make money with ease, January 17, 2005

This review is from: Wealth Without a Job: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom and Security Beyond the 9 to 5 Lifestyle (Hardcover)

This book will change your life. If you want to start your own business, or if you want to increase your capacity to earn money with your current business, get this book. For me, 'Wealth Without a Job' taught me the entrepreneurial skills that weren't taught in school. Even more importantly, WWJ shows you how to disconnect the unconscious habits around money and finances that may be impeding your financial well-being. It shows you how to create healthier and more effective habits (and beliefs) around money. The result is that you can earn money more efficiently, more easily and without excessive pain or stress.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a book you work with, rather than simply read through. It is essential to do the exercises to get the results. The exercises, and written material that accompanies them, are well thought out and effective. You can feel the changes occuring in you as you progress.

As an added benefit, the roadmap for change contained in this book works equally well for other areas of life. If you want to experience greater abundance in your life, give it a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars As close to a how to guide as it gets, January 12, 2005

By 

Superdave "Superdave" (Prescott, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wealth Without a Job: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom and Security Beyond the 9 to 5 Lifestyle (Hardcover)

When I recieved this book, I cracked it immediately.
This book isn't a "step by step guide", but a handbook to be used repeatedly, referenced often, and drawn from as much as possible.
It contains a distillation of theories and practices that will, when properly applied to your thought processes, improve your thinking.
The concepts in this book depend on how dedicated you are to improving your status, your wealth building potential, and your quality of life. However, you will only get out of it what you put into it. Hey, that sounds familiar.
Invest in yourself by aquiring this book, and you're in for a fantastic time, mind expanding journey, and the opportunity of a lifetime. You can do it! Go for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Psychology of Wealth (A Must Read!!!), November 16, 2004

By 

Dave Vanian - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wealth Without a Job: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom and Security Beyond the 9 to 5 Lifestyle (Hardcover)

This is a must read for anyone who wants more out of life. Wealth without a Job is one of the most financially beneficial books I have read in a long time. It takes your psychology and puts it in a money building mindset. The way I look at things now is more from a perspective of financial prosperity and gain instead of worrying about paying the bills or just catching up. In fact since reading this book my business has picked up tons of steam and I have been on a roll ever since. I would just like to thank Andy and Phil for writing this book. This should have come out years ago. Who knows where I would be now if I had it sooner.
