2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for..., August 5, 2007

By	Elizabeth Henry (Dayton, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book looking for ideas to help supplement by regular income by doing something from home. This was NOT the book for me. Most of the suggestions were totally useless for me and required a lot of skills/education that I don't have and would have to obtain before I started. For example, two of the suggestions are Accountant and Lawyer (!). This would better have been titled as "Careers That Allow You To Work At Home If You Want To." Also, as a side note, the projected earnings about Medical Transcriptionist was WAY overinflated...I am doing that currently, and my mother owns her own business and makes really good money, but not the $40-$60 an hour stated in the book. That's outrageous!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very refreshing book, July 7, 2006

By	Alix in Chicago - See all my reviews

I picked up this book not knowing what to expect and I was very surprised to find a new type of approach.
The author has done a wonderful at holding my attention and I highly recommend it.
I'd also like to recommend that you read Untapped Wealth Discovered. This too is a very smart and refreshing book and the authors have packed lots of vital info into their book.
Both of these books are well priced, very affordable and great motivators for both the interested and serious reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent but nothing amazing, March 21, 2006

By	M. Loring "mloring" (CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a good book for anyone who wants basic work at home ideas... but there was nothing original. You could sit at home and figure these jobs out if you go online or brainstorm. Still, it does help and it does have some good ones.
