READER REVIEWS...
I recommend this book to anyone who has a dream-anyone who has a desire to be more than what their job title says they are. The very simple yet powerful and practical principles in this book can help anyone, and I mean anyone, make the transition from their day job to their daydream. These simple tips can be applied by a waitress, bus driver, school teacher, corner office executive, or stay-at-home mom who wants to build something special. There are people waiting for a job that only YOU can provide. Stop being selfish by staying at your job and go out and create something for others to enjoy.
