Never Work Again: Work Less, Earn More and Live Your Freedom
Welcome to a very different kind of business book.
Never Work Again shows you how you can build a successful and profitable business without the long hours and high stress that most entrepreneurs suffer from.
Trust me – I’ve been there and it’s not fun. In the months after I started my first business I didn’t know any better. My business was making me ill, but I was too wrapped up in what I was doing to spot the signs let alone to do anything about it. That is until the day I found myself on a London tube train begging a stranger to call me an ambulance and thinking I was going to die. That was my wake-up call. Luckily I got a second chance.
That day I realised that life is short and precious and I made a decision that if I pulled through I was going to do things differently. I decided to restructure my business efforts so that I could live life to the full.
What I decided to create for myself was:
- A business that I could be proud of
- The financial freedom to live the life of my dreams
- The time freedom to do the things I love and to be with the people who matter most to me
And now I want to help you do the same.
After all, deciding to start your own business is something you do because you have a vision of a better life for you and your family. It’s your chance to take control and live life on your terms. And done right it will give youthe financial freedom and the time freedom to do the things you love, when you want to do them and with the people who matter most in your life.
Never Work Again will show you how to create a great online business that gives you the time to work on your own passions in life.
In short, a business that allows you to work less and earn more.
Never Work Again shows you how you can easily start your own no-money down virtual online business – a business that will allow you to make money online and quickly achieve both financial freedom and time freedom.
- All you need to do is choose from a number of simple blueprints and follow the one that’s right for you
- You will learn how to create positive habits that will free up your time and allow your business to grow more quickly than you ever thought possible
- You will be able to work from home or work virtually from anywhere on the planet – what’s your favourite city or beach?!
- And you will learn how to automate and outsource your business, leveraging other people's time for your own benefit so that you can start living the life you really want
But more than this, Never Work Again explores what it means to live a truly happy and fulfilled life – to really live the life of your dreams. It encourages you to examine your own motivations and desires in order to determine your true purpose and path in life – so you can discover what freedom really means for you.
Remember, your time is precious – in fact, it’s the most precious resource that you have. Don’t waste another second of it doing things that you don’t absolutely love. Learn how to start creating the life of your dreams today.

So I am not that very big believer of 4 Hours Work Week. I have made my first million $ contract, due to 8 months of concrete everyday, 9-5 constant effort. (this has been hovever in almost pre-internet era, back in 1997).
I like of course Tim Ferris cult book (4 hours work week), but I did never meet a real life believer or you might call him - a real, living man, who would stick to Tim Ferriss'es' rules and philosophy. And a sursprise, Erlend Bakke is such a man.
Now, coming back to Erlend's book...
Erlend Bakke thanks to Tim Ferriss, and the quote " You changed my life" - is true.
All in all - Erlend Bakke is a Norwegial enterpreneur, born in 1981, running currently 3 small companies. He manages 20 employees in 2 countries, and lives from time to time in San Francisco, London, Oslo, and Philippines.
Book consists of 8 chapters, split into 2 equal pieces corresponding respectively to both "yang" and "ying" parts, and in a way is made of balance of skills "from both masculine and feminine, force and source, light and darkness, positive and negative, strong and recessive thinking"...and it's only by harnessing the power of both and finding your balance that will truly find your freedom and never work again.
Contents of the book include :
1. Intruduction : No Pain, No Gain ?..................1
2. Freedom or Death........................................23
3. Clarity : Finding Your Path...........................67
4. Your Freedom Business.............................123
5. Time : YOur Most Precious Resource........175
6. Business Autopilot......................................193
7. Ticket to Freedom: Outsourcing and OPT
8. OPT (Other People's Time)........................237
Trinity : Freedom, Love and Growth...............271
+ bonus material at the end of book.
I don't want to talk about content of all the chapters in detail. If you want it , you can read it by yourself.
My reccomendation to you, is simple : It's a must read, just go and buy it now !
Why ? I have heard Erlend speaking at one of webinars with Mark Anastasi - an author of another famoeus book, "The Laptop Millionaire" and I was hooked. I mean, Erlend is making sometking like 500 000 $ a year, he didn't get nuts yet, he is humbly paying himself ca 20 000 $ / month and really seem to lead this kind of life , Tim Ferriss has been writing from some time, style of 4 hours work week. This is of course just a generric statement. I don't believe, that any kind of serious business can by managed by devoting only such a limited window of time. But maybe I am wrong. Maybe this AHA moment came into my mind , saying. hey, "you've been close to this figures, that Erlend is making now, but you are not so clote to them today, right ?, So why don't you try ?". Therefore I have tried. And I do not regret. I an set for a meeting with Erlend in London soon. "Rinse & Repeat" - someone said. Repeat or model these algorithms of business models that work - someone said to me. Why not ? But first, I needed to read Erlend's book. This can lead to to better judgement of the effectiveness of your business and push you out of your comfort zone into ACTION. if you are like me - go for it. :-)
As a guy who has done quite a few things outlined in the book but didn't create a system, I can more clearly see now how to do that - and most importantly, I see that Erlend walks the talk.
For me, the most valuable chapter in the book is no.4 - Your Freedom Business. In that chapter alone you will see if this whole idea is something that fancies you. It clearly lays out the main business models that can lead to a freedom, world-class lifestyle. It shows real-world examples, with nicely laid out facts and figures: who did it and how they did it, with snippets from interviews. So far, this is the only book that I know that has grouped this and put it in one place. IMHO, he could have shortened the first three chapters, there is some filler there.
I am halfway through the book, because this isn't something that you read and shove aside. I am working on my goal. I will get to the chapters on outsourcing and automating my business once I setup a business.
Why doesn't Erlend go into detail as some reviewers noticed? Well, I suppose if he really went to explain the nuts and bolts of every freedom business model, the book would have at least 1000 pages. So he recommends other books on the subject. I bought some of them before buying his book, and I can tell you his recommendations are great.
A final warning: nothing in this book, or any other that explains this sort of business, will work unless YOU WORK ON YOURSELF. I discovered that in order to succeed and realize your dreams, you must change your paradigm. You can't just expect to succeed by learning a business system. You must question everything that you believe in. You must change from the inside. For this, I heartily recommend BECOMING MAGIC from Genevieve Davis.
All in all, Erlend's good book is a signpost, not a solution, keep that in mind.
Top reviews from other countries

This delightful book advises you on a number of different methods and techniques - as well as the kind of approach - to take in order to allow you to never work again.
Never Work Again does not come across just like "another business book"; instead, this one is different as Erlend appears to have written this guide from the heart. He advises you on what has not only worked for him, but he also provides case studies of past clients that he has worked with (real-world examples) who his methods have also worked for.
Although it is not an enormous book, it is packed with valuable information; there are examples aplenty and Erlend includes as much detail as possible. The reason for this is probably Erlend focuses on a "cut the crap" approach (his words - not mine) which has proven to be a valuable tool when constructing such a book.
Outsourcing is something that Erlend is very fond of. And I can see why. He gives a great example of his thinking behind it: if your toilet breaks, you call (outsource) a plumber to repair it rather than attempt to do it yourself. Another great example was with problems relating to your health: if you are ill, you probably do not attempt to diagnose and medicate yourself - you go to see your doctor, i.e. you outsource your problem and get somebody else to do the work!
Overall, this is a wonderful book for anyone who is looking to get away from the "9-5 ball and chain"; he opened my eyes to a plethora of techniques which I would never have considered myself and which I will certainly be putting into action immediately! In hindsight, even though I was lucky enough to have picked up a free promotional copy of Never Work Again, I would have still happily have paid for this book because of how down-to-Earth it is. No crap. Just good, clean, honest advise.
Well done, Erlend!

According to me, the more realistic title of this book (but certainly not that catching one) would be: Manage Your Time Better. And there are many books on this topic out there. Nevertheless, there were some interesting topics covered in the book that do need to be remembered and noted, although nothing new and nothing groundbreaking.


I think you'll love reading this as it's very practical and easy to read.

Great book. Top job. Good times.
