Synopsis
Strategies for successful business ownership
Job security has become a myth, no matter where you work. Alan Greenspan testified before the House Ways and Means Committee in February 2004 that there is a turnover rate of approximately 1 million jobs per month. Because of the turbulent job market, more and more people are concluding that entrepreneurship is the way to go. However, many jobholders view entrepreneurship as risky. Entrepreneurship isn t taught in schools and most entrepreneurs endure a baptism by fire before they taste success. This book shows you learn not only how to strike out on your own, but how to make your entrepreneurial dream a success.

Jeffery Combs
author of More Heart than Talent
"I was fortunate enough to learn many years ago that working is the very worst way to earn money. Work is made for us, we are not made for work. Our work is meant to provide us with satisfaction. We should do what we love and love what we do."
Bob Proctor
author of the bestselling book, You Were Born Rich
"Standing out in a plethora of get rich books, Wealth Without a Job goes beyond the predictable set goals, work hard, and pretend to be happy approach; rather, it inspires, cajoles, and leads readers through known and tested paths to financial freedom. Phil Laut and Andy Fuehl dont just seek to change your wealth, however. Be prepared for a deeper understanding of both economics and how your mind thinks and works, so that you and your goals are driven towards each other. A compelling read."
