While I already know what a MONUMENTAL-SIZED RAT RACE corporate America is (I'm a 10-year veteran of NYC's corporate rat race), it always helps to read that other intelligent and insightful beings have the same perspective. In addition to Making a Living... being supportive confirmation of the sick and twistedness of the rat race, it gives effective strategies for how to be Joyfully Jobless, succeed as an entrepreneur (the greatest life achievement of all), getting ideas galore, and avoiding corporate DRONES. Become someone - and get this book!

I have read tons of self-help books. Tons on getting rich and tons on how to be self-employed. As you have probably heard, yours is the best. Most books and seminars are either too rah! rah! without any practical advice or too informatively dry and practical without inspiring in the reader a sense of confidence or motivation. You have the perfect mix of inspiration, realism and practical applicable advice. Your book is diverse enough that one could use it as a guide for any new independent business.

I Love this book. I have read it three times in three years, and am currently on my fourth time. Each time I read it, I come away with some new ideas for my home business. I think that is what Barbara Winter helps me do best is think about my talents and my business more creatively. She gives examples from her own life, and the lives of others which is inspiring to me as well.There are also spaces in the book to write down your goals and do some brainstorming which is great.And it helps me come up with ideas for different profit centers based on my talents and abilities, which always reminds me that if the road I am taking ends up a dead end, I can just create a different one...there is no end to my possibilites. I will keep rereading this book and getting inspired till I die!

Barbara is correct about a lot of things. I have read all of these type of books over the years as I have struggled with self-employment and sometimes back to a job which I inevitably go back to making a living creating opportunity with the gifts I have. Another Book I highly recommend is Marsha Sinetar's 'Do What You Love, The money will follow.' These processes are not overnight and I have used the books over the years to continue to inspire me towards my own self-employment, self-empowerment work. I am currently writing my own title called 'Modern Prosperity' and doing workshops on vision-mapping. Randy Ladner
