Despite the sensational sounding title, this is actually a very down to earth guide on starting a freelance or online business. At no time does Daniel DiPiazza lead you to believe that you are going to make tons of money doing nothing. He promises there will be a lot of work at the front end of "passive income."
It is as he says, and I'll paraphrase, a recipe book of starting a business, not a formula. You mix the ingredients to what works for your situation.
DiPiazza makes two very important assumptions in writing this book: 1) You've never started a business before, and 2) you have no clue how to begin starting a business. I wish I knew the stuff in this book about sixteen years ago when I was a 20 something. He's the real deal, because as I am setting up my freelance business, I can tell you the things the he promises will go through your mind, really do. I'm talking about the thoughts you have that tempt you to talk yourself out of going forward. That part of the book is key to those dealing with assumption #2. He guides you on how to THINK about forming your business. There really is a different mindset from those who are content to punch a clock and merely talk about doing something. And he goes through almost half the book on these concepts before he gets into the technical aspects of starting a business. I suggest you be patient and read EVERY WORD.
When he does get into the technical aspects, he will be touch on a lot of different things your traditional business writers will not necessarily talk about. Certain forms of online businesses that I have never heard about but wondered how they work. Also, he will take the mask off of what's involved with networking. There are a lot of people who will give you formulaic answers on how to network....and Daniel has reassured me what I've already figured out...they don't work today.
If you're looking for quick solutions to your financial woes, this is not your book. If you have a passion for something, and your trying to figure out how to do it for a living, from what I've read, this is the book for you. It's given me some things to ponder, and opened my mind to some possibilities.

READ THIS REVIEW👇🏼
I could go on about this book for days, and I will, but for this review, here are the main reasons that I recommend this book: 1) The first thing that I noticed (which was very impressive and respectable) is that DANIEL IS ABLE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING FROM START TO FINISH IN LAYMAN'S TERMS. This is a refreshing contrast in a world where technical jargon can create a "God Complex". You could easily imagine Daniel explaining these brilliant, life changing concepts and details over some casual coffee. 2) HE DELIVERS RELEVANT INFORMATION and selflessly validates all of it with his own personal experiences, all of which I can personally relate to in some way. The content is exceptional! He lays out broad concepts first, and primes our brain for the mindf***ery that is to follow (a.k.a relevant anectodes and more detailed explanations). I found that every single page holds precious information (I suggest a highlighter and pencil while reading this book, because you'll find yourself referring back to it often). 3) DANIEL SHARES HIS OWN INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND METHODS, but he also gives credit where it is due! He shares gems from many many other successful people, which I was more than happy to add to my podcast, book, email subscription, etc. repertoire.Final Word: Ladies and gentlemen, think of this book as an investment. An investment in yourself and your future, and your future family's future. You deserve happiness and success right? Well Daniel selflesslay lays it out for you. I can't wait to take action on what I've read....once I recover from the mind blowing existential compemplation of course!!! Thanks for sharing Daniel!
