informative and easy to listen to.

recommend this book to anybody who's in entrepreneurship or wants to be an entrepreneur. a valuable read

Great book

I loved the information in this, very inspirational. it was both entertaining and informative in the way the information was laid out.

Narration Is Just Fine

A great, brief read. Full of fantastic case studies.

Concerns over narration are overblown.

Listen, and then do.

Nice Ideas

Nice ideas for starting a business that can grow or stay low maintenance. Helpful for and give story ideas to explain situations.

Inspiring

I read an article by the author which was so useful I went out an bought this audio book the same day. Just like the article, this book is full of great info for starting a business, but from a perspective that you don't get in a lot of other books. The emphasis is that in order to be able to scale a single person or husband/wife business up to a million dollar level, you will likely have to be able to outsource some functions. She has some interesting perspectives on how to do that. This book is certainly worth a read. Her perspectives on health care costs were also comforting, just knowing that I am not alone in paying ridiculous monthly bills.
However, I do with the author had not chosen to read it herself. I think a professional narrator would have been a more enjoyable listen.

share with all you know

I've shared this book with all the entrepreneurs I know. It's the best book I've listened to regarding the specific area of running a one person business, it's full of ideas and motivation for making things happen. I found it very valuable.

Better Than The 4 Hour Workweek

the reading voice is painful to listen to. and the writing style doesnt translate well. however, for the entrepreneur there are multiple business models you can implement into any business, and the story-based way of describing the business principles makes this a text book for every entrepreneur.

this should be what you listen to INSTEAD of the 4 hour work week. way more practical. way less fluff.

Good book

I agree with other reviewers that concerns about the author’s reading are overblown. I thought the author did a fine job reading.

Great book!

I loved this book! Easy to follow, great examples, tons of inspiration! After you finish you feel you need to jump into action right away.

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book! The real-life stories were powerful and made the content so much more relatable. I also appreciated the narrator's voice—it was engaging and easy to listen to.
