Change the way you make a living with The $100 Start-up

Feeling like you need a change? Have a great idea but not sure how to make it a reality? Need a kick-start to get your project off the ground? Want to know how other people did it?

I've been following Chris Guillebeau's blog for a number of years now, and I can whole heartedly recommend his first book The Art of Non-Conformity if you want to be inspired to live the life you truly want.

He's has written a great new book, The $100 Start-up, with the subtitle "reinvent the way you make a living, do what you love, and create a new future".

Sounds too easy doesn't it?

This definitely isn't a book that gives you all the answers on a plate, and it's certainly not a case of "do this exactly, you'll make a fortune". There isn't a magic step-by-step formula, 'cos if there was, wouldn't we all be millionaires by now?


What this book does is show you what other people have achieved it, how they turned modest start-up funding (in many cases less than $100) into a business turning over $US50,000 per annum.

After identifying 1,500 individuals who have started up successful businesses, Chris has focused on 50 people who've made it happen, and he explains clearly how they made it a reality to reinvent the way they make a living. He talks numbers, he talks strategies, and he pulls no punches about how hard it can be, but he also reminds you that anything is truly possible. The underlying business message is very clear though, if you aren't making money, then it isn't a business, it's a hobby.

So could you turn your hobby into a profitable business? Could you make the leap to being your own boss? Do you want to know how the other people made it happen?

Read this book. It could change your life.
