The "outource your life" part was a little misleading in that I simply couldn't find someone for $5-$8 per hour. I actually signed up and experimented with all of the mentioned sources and $12 per hour was the cheapest, and only if I committed to a certain number of hours per month. I personally own a web design company and use scriptlance.com which is a "per project" bid and I HAVE had success with that one.
So all in all, this is one of those books, in my humble opinion, which can save you the cost of the book right away if you use even one or two "lifestyle design" changes. At the very least, it got me totally psyched and in a good place the whole time I was reading it. Helped me dream!! |
Thanks for the review hotrod. Your review gives a bit more insight into the content plus you didn't just passively read it, but applied the info (gave it a fair try vs casting stones at the premise). Based on that review, I will probably check out the book in a few months (although as a cheapskate, I'll wait for the paperback or library version).
If anyone else has a similar info (specific example of unique content that you then applied), I'd find that fascinating.
I skimmed the book in the bookstore and found some of the exercises very interesting (e..g, imagine worst case scenario if your plan fails; List 5 things you want to be, have, etc.).
Also, I can tell that some posters here disliked the book. In that case, can you suggest what you would specifically add? For example, if you already live that lifestyle, any unique insights as to how you arrived at that point? Or would there be additional information you would provide if you wrote a book with a similar premise?
Thanks.
