#1 Bestseller in Business and Money, Small Business, Entrepreneurship and International Economics

A Top 3 'Start Your Own Business' Book -Inc Magazine

The rapid development of technology and globalization has changed the leverage points in accumulating wealth: money, meaning and freedom.

Those that don’t adapt are becoming trapped in the downward spiral of a dying middle class - working harder and earning less.

Entrepreneurs that understand the new paradigm, have created unprecedented wealth in their lives and the lives of those they love.

The End of Jobs combines the broad history of a Sapiens, the latest science of a Thinking Fast and Slow, the entrepreneurial oomph of a Rich Dad, Poor Dad or Zero to One with the motivational push of a Tony Robbins.

In This Book You’ll Learn:

— Why the century-long growth in wages came to a halt in 2000.

— Why MBAs and JDs can’t get jobs and what that means for the future of work and your job.

— Why The Theory of Constraints and a shift into the Fourth Economy has made entrepreneurship the highest-leveraged career path for the young and ambitious.

— Why The Turkey Problem means accounting may be the riskiest profession in the 21st century while entrepreneurship may be the safest.

— How entrepreneurs with second-rate degrees are leveraging the radical democracy of the Long Tail to get rich.

— How the Stair Step Method and return of apprenticeships have transformed the “entrepreneurial leap" to make entrepreneurship at large, and small business entrepreneurship in particular, more accessible than ever.

— The scientific research on how giving up balanced living and embracing integrated living leads to more money, more meaning, and more freedom.

— Why a 20th century world view to career search questions like “What career is right for me?” and “How do I find a career?” could be the source of your frustration (and a better way to think about it)

Included (Free) Resources:

— Full Recorded Interviews with the Ten Entrepreneurs featured in The End of Jobs detailing how they launched their own successful businesses.

— Taylor’s 67 must-read business books and the best entrepreneur books to fuel your entrepreneurial career.

— 49 tools and templates to save you hundreds of hours when launching and growing a business.

— A Ninety-Day goal setting template to translate the book into actionable steps

— Access to a private community to discuss the book and get support from a community of like-minded individuals to inspire, motivate, and assist each other in seeking out apprenticeships, your career search and other elements around “how to find a career” and other career guidance questions like “what career is right for me?”

Who Should Read This Book?

Early Stage Entrepreneurs - If you’re already involved in small business entrepreneurship, but doubting yourself and wondering if you made a smart choice to abandon the traditional career path? In Chapter 5, The Turkey Problem, you’ll learn the difference between real and perceived risk and why Entrepreneurship is a smarter choice than ever.

Established Entrepreneurs - Do you have friends, family or team members that don’t understand their choices? In chapters 12 through 14 you’ll understand how to explain the fundamental drives of your ambition.

Students - Are you looking for career guidance? Considering getting another degree as opposed to starting a business or going to work for an entrepreneurial business? Before you invest hundreds of thousands of dollars, read Chapter 3 to understand why credentials are getting less valuable even as degrees get more expensive.

About the Author

Taylor spent the last three years meeting with hundreds of entrepreneurs from Los Angeles to Vietnam, Brazil to New York, and worked with dozens of them, in industries from cat furniture to dating, helping them to grow their businesses. Regardless of the industry, age, race, country, or gender, one simple fact stood out: entrepreneurship was dramatically more accessible, profitable, and safer… while jobs were riskier and less profitable than the public is typically (mis)led to believe. Based on hundreds of interactions and and dozens of recent books and studies, he wrote The End of Jobs to show others how they could invest in entrepreneurship to create more freedom, meaning, and wealth in their lives.

Not just the Why, but the How of creating your own path

June 30, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

3 years ago I picked up Tim Ferriss' "4 Hour Work Week” - the bible of the first wave of nomadic online entrepreneurs. Like many people exploring this new concept of career and financial freedom beyond waiting for an increasingly uncertain retirement, the “4HWW" changed my perspective on my career, freedom, and life in general.

The End of Jobs presents an even more compelling argument on how the traditional education, career and asset accumulation script is failing. Not just failing a generation of Millennials who can't get professional jobs after 4 years and tens or hundreds of thousands of college debt, but all workers. Pearson presents the historical contexts of work throughout history, showing how these paradigms each crumbled as a result of power shifts from Monarchies to Banks to Corporations. Today, the power shift has moved from the Corporation to the Individual, and as such, a "job" in the traditional sense is doomed.

After laying the groundwork for this theory, Pearson then presents actionable steps to hedge these risks and attain freedom. Like The Four Hour Work Week, there are also specific strategies and tactics. With the rate at which digital innovation moves, it's difficult to keep these tactics timeless. But the concepts of the "Stair Step Method" and Apprenticeships will hold any fledgling entrepreneur in good stead for years to come. I for one will use it and the accompanying bonus material as a knowledgebase in my own business and personal processes.

There is a somewhat derogatory term, the Wantrepreneur: a person who gorges on entrepreneurial philosophy and strategies but is yet to pull the trigger and go out on a limb themselves. Wantrepreneurship is a necessary stage in the journey - you must first decide that being an Entrepreneur is something worth caring about. The End of Jobs provides the mission as well as the toolkit to take those first steps.

To be clear, this is not just a tactics-based "how to start a business" handbook for newbies. Nor is it insiders-only philosophical read for established business owners. It's the necessary balance of age-old philosophical theories, real-world examples of successful entrepreneurs, and nitty-gritty strategies and tactics that can create a catalyst for change: not only the WHY, but the HOW and WHEN (i.e. right now)!

It falls short of what I was expecting. Should be titled "The End of DESK Jobs" instead.

February 15, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Somewhat disappointed. I've been reading Taylor's blog for a while and really enjoy what he writes. He has exposed me to some really great ideas and I was expecting this to be a visionary compendium of all the things he shares and more.

Instead it was just a lengthy marketing pamphlet for how to live as a digital nomad, supported by examples of his friends. A smarter four hour workweek if you will.

Don't get me wrong, there is good information in there if this is your goal. But rather than latching onto truly revolutionary ideas, such as the true "end of jobs" as a result of our transition into a post-capitalist economy, he just shows you how to be a different sort of capitalist.

Its worth a browse if all of these ideas are new to you, but I'm much more excited to read Paul Mason's game changing book that just came out. Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future

Good revitalize

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

"Entrepreneurship expands your power to design your life. You are a part of the first generation that has radical access to the tools of production. Rather than choosing from a set of options, you can design your own."

Throughout the book it helped me to reconsider my life. A small step for me to shift but it is good start. I would give this 4.5 stars because some of them are not thoughts provoking enough. However, many points in the book make me realized that I tried too hard to plan a career. It was completely wrong path for me. I guess I gotta to move soon than I thought. Cause I don't want neither being a turkey nor wait for inevitable to come for me.

The book basically explains how there is no job security and that you can create your own work, be an entrepreneur. There's a lot of anecdotes and stories (some more commonly quoted than others) from other business books.

This would be a good book for someone considering leaving their 9 to 5 job, to see why doing that might be a viable option. It also might be a good book to recommend if you're a digital nomad or entrepreneur trying to explain the current work climate to your parents or friends.

I read it in one sitting to have a feel for the material & I think a determined reader could do that in one go. At the current promo for USD$0.99 for the Kindle version, it's worth getting + you get the bonus downloads (including 10 audio interviews) which are interesting.
