Customer comments on this selection.
 Good for stimulating thought, but...
I run a very successful homebased business,and am always reading on the subject.This is a good book, but more designed for someone without a corporate or serious business background. It consists of 70 ideas that a person might consider in forming their own business,and there are some details given on each.I guess it was just more appropriate for someone not in his own business than for someone who is.
As an aside, for someone who does have a business/corporate background,my suggestion is to strongly consider the executive search/recruiting field.(Don't worry; your niche market will not be the same as mine.) The best most comprehensive founational work on it is Search and Placement! A Handbook for Success by Larry Nobles and Steven Finkel.
Highly worthwhile as a homebased business for someone with the right qualities of personality and background.
 not for everyone
while this book had some ideas , for many of the jobs you need a certain skill. most of this information is common sense. while it may be usefull to some i found it to be a waste of money.
 Lots of good ideas
After surviving a bout with cancer in the Spring of '06 and a heart attack in the Fall, my church(I'm a minister) decided they could no longer afford to keep me. The problem was that I was 2 years short of being old enough to collect Medicare and no way was I going to be able to live on my paltry SSA. THIS BOOK LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE. It showed me that there is life after the fall, and it helped me to get back on my feet. I don't earn a LOT of money, but I'm doing better than the near-minimum wage I would have gotten flipping hamburgers at a fast food joint or working at Wal-Mart. In my opinion, there's something for just about everyone in this book--providing, of course, you really WANT to work.
 Giving hope to perspective retirees
This book gives hope to those over 50 and in so many cases people tend to forget that the over 50 age group is already looking for opportunities.
It's a book that can be used to plan a career after your done working for someone else.
Very informative and gives lots of ideas
An interesting book
This a very interesting book and worth a second look. I like the author's style and lots of info here.
I also suggest that you read Untapped Wealth Discovered by Jeff Marquis and Kerry Harrison. This book appeals more to me because it goes much deeper into strategies for the over 50 crowd.
