From Library Journal

White, whose clients include small business people and large corporations such as AT&T, Fidelity Investments, and Procter & Gamble, is one of the most sought-after success coaches in the country, believing as she does in balance between personal life and work. In ten chapters she looks at management styles and relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and customers. To make more and work less and focus on results is the key. Having a good relationship with yourself, a vision of what you want in life, and the willingness to take necessary action(s) are essential, and White offers examples, instructions, exercises, and encouragement throughout. Johanna Ward's pleasant voice conveys the author's information in a manner that keeps the listener interested. A good choice for large audiobook collections.DSteven J.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to turn success into even more success and fulfillment!, November 18, 2007

By 

Paul Weiss (Dundas, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Work Less, Make More: Stop Working So Hard and Create the Life You Really Want! (Paperback)

Jennifer White's book is not for wimps and losers.

A self-help book written by one of the finest success coaches in the country, "Work Less, Make More" is an innovative tool to help self-driven, highly motivated individuals who are probably already successful do more and do better - to pull themselves out of a stalled rut, perhaps; to work more effectively; to make a quantum leap to a higher level of success; and clearly, to make a substantially higher level of income while working at a physically less demanding level.

Jennifer White's focus is on results and the premise, while difficult to envision, is achievable for those who are willing to make a paradigm shift in their outlook on what constitutes success, to undergo a sea change in their relationships with their family, their friends, their customers and their constituents.

This book is NOT for those that are unwilling to subject themselves to an intense level of scrutiny and, for a significant period of time, to pull themselves a long way out of previous comfort zones and to instill in themselves new habits.

My personal opinion is that this book is most likely to be successful for those individuals that are to a significant extent self-employed, self-driven, highly motivated and worrying with the realization that their career needs a lift. For those that qualify and are willing to change, Jennifer White's perscription will help you to become more deeply fulfilled and earn substantially higher financial rewards without driving yourself to an ulcer, without insulating yourself from your family and friends and without contemplating an early grave.

And isn't that what we all want, after all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and inspirational --- and IT WORKS!, January 23, 2000

By 

Diane M. Scholten (Barrington, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Work Less, Make More: Stop Working So Hard and Create the Life You Really Want! (Paperback)

As any Amazon shopper knows, there are a plethora of self-help books out there designed to help you live better. What I LOVE about this book is that it's well-organized, pragmatic (and yet spiritually infused, which is important to me) and best of all, it works! I'm a coach myself (like Jen) and so have used these specific, clearly spelled out techniques not only in my own life but with my clients. My personal favorite in this overly busy, cell-phone/email/voice mail/Palm Pilot world is the Power of 3 - by focusing on the top 3 things rather than being scattered way more is accomplished - with more calm, to boot! I can truly say that if you DO this book, not just read it, that it will very postively impact your life. Get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The tranformational guide to successful, prosperous living, January 9, 2000

By 

Dr. Mary D. Bell - See all my reviews

This review is from: Work Less, Make More: Stop Working So Hard and Create the Life You Really Want! (Paperback)

If you're truly ready to redesign your life from the inside out, transforming your life to let in more happiness, do less work, and make more money, this book is for you! Many of us are more than ready to get off the treadmill and create a life worth living. Not for the casual reader, this book is for those high achievers who are open and willing to be pathfinders and do it all differently. You gotta be ready to shine if you pick up this book! It will become your constant companion. White shows the way with an amazing program that unlocks your potential and allows you to start living life the way you want to--on your own terms. If you want to put passion back into your work and your life, get this book today. As a success coaching columnist, my job is to review self help books for readers. I have read them all--the hype and promises that ultimately fall flat. Not this one! This book is overflowing with exercises that guide you through the process of leaving the herd mentality and creating a terrific new way to master time (not manage it) and create new profit centers that focus on what you do best (White helps you figure that part out). It's a one-of-a-kind tranformational sucess manual you'll wish that everyone could follow, one that you'll pass on to everyone you care about. I wholeheartedly endorse White's program for my coaching clients and I'm having amazing results using it in my own life and business!
