For some people, the thought of quitting their day job to pursue the entrepreneurial life is exhilarating. For many others, it's terrifying. After all, a stable job that delivers a regular paycheck is a blessing. And not everyone has the means or the desire to take on the risks and responsibilities of working for themselves. But what if we could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter the side hustle.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Publisher's summary
In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living.
Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back.
There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful.
In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment.
Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid.
Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins.
In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

This book is poison for new entrepreneurs
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I am an avid audiobook listener. 90% of them relate to business and entrepreneurship. I listen when I go running or mountain biking. When I first began listening to this book, I liked it. I didn't learn anything specific, but it did help my brain process some ideas I'm currently working on. As I continued to listen, however, I began noticing contradictions in what he was saying. Then I began noticing the promotion of subtle falsehoods that a new entrepreneur would not notice. While listening to the end of the audiobook, while biking on one of my favorite bike trails, I exclaimed out loud several things like, "This guy is a hypocrite," and "This guy is an idiot," and "This book is poison for new entrepreneurs."
I have never given a book this harsh of a review. Seasoned and successful entrepreneurs will see right through this book, but my fear is that new entrepreneurs will eat this up. It's written in a way that mingles a lot of sound advice with advice that is crippling.
If you are a new entrepreneur, skip this book, and replace it with the following 3 Books:
Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki
The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber
The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
What could Chris Guillebeau have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
It's an academic study... not based on personal experience. He takes stories of both success and failure and interprets their results with his own spin. I've had many similar experiences to the stories he shared, and saw right through his terrible advice.
Would you be willing to try another one of Chris Guillebeau and Thomas Vincent Kelly ’s performances?
I don't think so

Great Content, Robotic Narration
I was glad to see this title in audio book format, as it's much easier for me to listen to business books than actually read one. Like those case studies in the book, I too am a micro-entrepreneur who started my business on a shoestring. It was inspiring to hear stories from others who have found great success starting out the same way I have. It reinforces the 'Follow your passion" stream of thought as well.
That said, the narration made it a less than stellar listen. To me it sounded almost like a computerized voice, lacking the very passion the book was talking about. I could only listen in short time periods before the robotic voice started blending into the background and I realized I had missed large chunks of the story he was telling.

Good motivating read but thats it.
if need a little push in the back to follow your dream, read it. If you look for information, guides, models etc. on how to start your own business, you should read another book.

Enviable, Learn-able, Actionable, Doable!
Where does The $100 Startup rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?
Right up there with the 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss, this book delivers in ways that are just as revolutionary, but probably MORE usable...
Before I bought this book, I had found that The Art of Non-Conformity was the only real follow up to Ferriss's work, but Chris Guillebeau has now over-delivered and really developed a capstone to what my searches have uncovered in the last two years on digital nomadism and innovative, one-person entrepreneurship.
But this is not only a book about those things. Chris outlines EVERY form that new-school small business takes; and EVERY contemporary method of measuring how well those forms work.
I cannot recommend it highly enough; it is destined to become an anchor title for small business.

Tell me something I don't already know...
What disappointed you about The $100 Startup?
Start a business with little money, doing something you already know..
How is this new information?
I didn't need to spend $12 to hear this..
Has The $100 Startup turned you off from other books in this genre?
Try a little common sense. It doesn't cost anything.
That's all this book is suggesting..
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Narrator was OK, content was redundant..
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The $100 Startup?
I wouldn't bother to publish this book..
Any additional comments?
So you know how to bake a cake?
Why not try to bake and actually sell some cake?
What a novel idea...
It's never been done before.
Save your money on this book..

Best book and most needed book these days
I have bought all the "Best 50 Jobs to Work Out of Your Home"-type books over the years.
This is the best by far because it shows how to tailor your own future based on your own skills and interests, and has excellent examples of people who have actually done this.
The author has done a tremendous amount of research to produce this book. So it was not just a one-off book written from the kitchen table.
I think everybody should get this book to understand its philosophy and to help protect against the future.
Very highly recommended.

Narrated by a Robot
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I really wanted to like this book after several recommendations, but I couldn't focus on anything but the robot like voice of the narrator.
Would you be willing to try another one of Chris Guillebeau and Thomas Vincent Kelly ’s performances?
Probably not.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It might be a good actual read vs. listen.

This book delivers!
What did you love best about The $100 Startup?
The $100 Startup is an exceptional blend of conceptual, strategic and tactical advice. Well-presented and easy to listen to. Fans of Tim Ferris' 4-Hour Workweek will find The $100 Startup more practical but equally inspiring. In addition, while Ferris focuses on product sales, Guillebeau's advice applies to selling services as well.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The $100 Startup?
The 37-point startup checklist stands out. It's a great way for listeners to feel comfortable they're not forgetting something major while starting their own business.
Have you listened to any of Chris Guillebeau and Thomas Vincent Kelly ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I will search them out as a result of listening to them here.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Yes, you can - absolutely!

Annoying!
I'm really p**sed off with this audiobook - I purposefully listened to the audio sample before I bought because I hate when you get an audiobook and hate the reader's voice. And the sample is a foreword by the author and then some guy with a dumb voice reads the rest of it! But they don't tell you that! Grrr!

The voice over is awful!
I'm not even two hours in and I'm struggling to take anything in, the voice over is so mechanically monotonous!

Great reference, compelling story, poor voice over
Generally enjoyed the content of the audiobook, lots of inspiring stories, only spoilt by the robot voice over.
Perhaps buy the book instead.

The voice over was incredibly mundane.
Couldn't finish the book as I just could not concentrate on the voice. Waste of a credit.

Great insight and inspiring
A great book with wonderful insight on how to get out of the rat race and live more freely, doing what you love. Requires a lot of concentration at times but great material.

Incredibly inspiring
I've literally swallowed this audio in 2 days. The only reason why I couldn't finish it in 1 day was that I had to frequently stop to make notes of ideas and enhancements about my own business that were pouring to my head while listening to this audiobook.
A life-changing experience...

Very inspiring
Really enjoyed this book. I liked the examples used, which ranged from micro businesses make under £40 to larger ones. This might be the first book I've sat down and taken notes!

Biggest waste of time on Audible so far...
AudioBook is boring, very slow and has terrible narrative. I honestly could not find anything positive about this book. No in depth explanation on what is happening. Quite frankly, I did not learn nothing or remember anything what is in that book anymore. Don’t waste your time.

well worth the read
I read this right after you turn by Ashley Stahl and the 2 go very well together. The former giving a how to guide to find what work you should be doing and this book giving practical how tos for going it alone rather than being an employee.

A little dull and simple
I was hoping for more in-depth case studies but instead this is a pretty superficial meta analysis of his case studies which was disappointing. Also written style is fairly dull.

Really monotonous
The contents are okay, but the narrator does it too monotonously. It's really uninteresting to listen to. I'm sure the book would be a good read, but listening is just a pain.

good for motivation. lite on useful details
it was great to hear about all the case studies that the author uses throughout the book but if you're looking for a 'how to' guide...this won t have all the answers

A decent collection of entrepreneurial successes
The content or topic is very interesting, but stories and language structure were often jarringly robot-like. Interesting nonetheless, but could be better.
