Book Review - Secrets to Creating Passive Income and Becoming Financially Free
from http://woogleme.com/admin-jobs/2010/06/book-review-secrets-to-creating-passive-income-and-becoming-financially-free/
I want to give the authors credit for explaining their points of view in very interesting stories that are scattered throughout the book. I never thought a discussion on car top carriers would be so compelling - but it really was! And that example set the tone for the whole book.
If you want to make more money and just want to tap into someone else's system, this book isn't for you. If you want to make more money in new and interesting ways, then it definitely is for you.
If you believe the hype that real estate investing is passive income then you've never been an investor there. The authors talk about a bad experience with RE and admit they are not experts on the topic. So, don't buy it if you want that more of that same old, same old.
However, if you know how to write - you're ahead of the game. If you're willing to write - you're ahead of the game. If you're willing to think outside the box and be inspired by the creativity of the people used examples in the book, you're ahead of the game. If you have time on your hands, you can learn from this book how to apply it. All of us have space that we can use to earn passive income with.
If you just want to be spoon-fed information, like with an MLM (unless you treat your MLM like an investment group as suggested), then again don't buy this book as you will be dissapointed.
On the other hand, if you have the ability to think for yourself, outside the box, are opinionated or have interesting or one of a kind experiences, then you can capitalize on them and this book will show you how to make the most of your creative thinking.
I came away from my first reading with more ideas than I could possibly implement, which in one respect was a welcome surprise having more to do than I actually could. Then once I followed the workbook portion at the back of the book, my plan began to solidify and I'm on my way to create several passive income streams from the many marketing tips contained within.
I have to admit that I was skeptical when I purchased this book, wondering if it was going to be yet another sales pitch for someone else's "money making system." How wrong I was!
