I'm very divided on this book. For the most part - tons of great information and advice. The protection section is where I started to question his expertise. For example, the author refers to semi-automatic guns as automatics. Really? Next, he states that owning AR-15's is overkill and makes people look like "paramilitary nuts". Hmmm.

This is a very informative book with loads of information. Many people who are restoring cars, classic car shows, building factory-stock models of those powerful muscle cars, etc., this guide contains much of the information needed to bring that classic muscle car (or even daily driver) to 100-point show condition. Hey, even a classic game show fan might enjoy this book (e.g., trying to guess how much that 1972 Chevrolet Malibu hardtop coupe costs with certain options, and playing along with that episode of "Let's Make a Deal"). Yes, there are some minor omissions that, while not detracting from the usefulness of this book, they do need addressing. For example, the content of many option packages -- whether trim, convenience, or more importantly performance-oriented -- aren't listed. And, it would have also been nice to list special-order options, Custom Accessories and at least a listing of dealer install-only options. Still, a very useful book and one that will be used and appreciated by all.

Honestly have learned both new things and a revision of what I learned from other books and experience. But this is definitely worth a buy with a wealth of information. Seriously, $1 and you get some damn great advice.

Great book with some great information.
Implementing the tips is a little harder than I imagined.

I had never heard of the "Ask Your Manager" website before reading this book. There's a lot of great advice. There's also some weird work situations that will make you scratch your head and wonder why. For instance: A mgr. that steals an employee's lunch on a daily basis. The employee has food allergies and has to make specific things. She even tried putting the food in her desk and confronted the manager. He continued to take her lunch and said she cooked good. Augh!!! The author gives you advice with each chapter as: Conversations with: your boss, your coworkers, when you're the boss and job interviewer. Lots of good info....like when work keeps calling you when you're on vacation or someone you disliked working with is being considered for a job at your place of work, etc. This is more of a reference book, not one to just read straight through. The job interview part fits me right now, since I was laid off and I'm looking for work. Recommended

Tons of great information for you and Significant Other! Unfortunately, I suffered a loss right after buying this, but it has a helpful section on that as well.

I would have given a higher rating, but there are some parts that ramble on. However, on a more positive note, there are sections that I particularly found most useful and full of valuable lessons, such as to how it is much more than price elasticity that determines certain prices or how we have the existence of uniform pricings in the cinema business or why supermarkets often always have few cash registers open. Definitely worth a look for those who are interested and have always asked why does that happen as such in this industry?

One of the biggest frustrations in my life is dealing with health issues that are combined with anything that has to do with finance.  The frustration and incredible confusion mostly leads to me putting things off for another day without anything getting done.

This book came along at just the right time for me.  I moved in with a girl that needed help in getting social security benefits for her son.  This book is highly informative, extremely useful, and actionable.  The lessons that I learned from reading this book are going to save us a ton of time and money in the long run.

This book is well-written, well-researched, and a comprehensive collection of invaluable information.  The author gains credibility through telling us of life experiences.  These experiences - mixed with compassion from the author - results in an incredible learning experience for anybody that is going through this unfortunate situation.

Both a friend of myself and I have purchased this book, and are new to the forex trading game.

There is an incredible amount of good information in this book, but it is not easy to extract.  We have both reread chapters to try and create a point form list of trade rules to be followed on the various trading methods, and every time we keep finding more info, that it is excellent at reducing losses or increasing gains,  hidden for lack of better editing or clarity of writing.

I also feel that the graphs used to illustrate some of the trades could be better selected as there must be examples out there with greater clarity than those used.

Once the information is extracted, however, this book is I feel an great resource for position and swing traders.  Day traders my find some good info, but the book is not aimed at them

I have Glendon's storage auction book, and was really looking forward to this to help me figure out how to sell on Craigslist.  It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it is a great deal of information on the resource of Craigslist and ways to use Craigslist to make money (or have fun I guess).  The reason I gave it 4 stars is because there are some major grammar/spelling/sentence structure issues that really affect the content in several areas.  It almost looks like there are instances where an auto-correct adjusted words to replace a word with something not really related.  Regardless of the reason, it is something that you have to work through in several parts of the book.  One word of warning- if you only want to learn about posting on Craigslist, you will not get a lot of information on that specifically.  Instead, this covers a much wider range of information about Craigslist- so just keep that in mind if you are looking for that specific information (like I was).  Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking for ways to make some money on Craigslist.  I had already started posting items on Craigslist, and we were doing fairly well with some patience, but the tips and tricks should help us improve our results.

As a reluctant self-publisher of 3 years, I am astounded by the amount of useful information in this book.  Some of the ideas mentioned, like using Google Alerts to find related blogs, I managed to stumble across already.  But just the ways to enhance your book sales on Amazon alone blew me away.  I'm sure I would eventually find these out, but this book cut the time on the learning curve down drastically.  And the best part?  Most of the suggestions are free!

This book is incredible in the amount of valuable information it contains.  You can lose all the weight you want, lower your cholesterol levels, and your blood pressure, and live a LOT longer if you follow his advice.  The only negative thing I have to say is that unless a person is very self disciplined they're going to find it difficult to live on salads with no dressing for the rest of their lives.  He allows all the fruit and veggies (mainly green leafy vegetables) you want and legumes (beans) and a tiny amount of nuts; that's it.  I definitely believe he's right but for most people I know it would be very difficult to adhere to. The book does contain a wealth of information on health. I don't know if I can ever eat a diet that strict but I am definitely eating a lot more fruit and veggies and a lot less carbohydrates after reading this book.

Not quite what I expected, but still full of useful information.

This book provided lots of great tips, rules, and suggestions that I have been able to implement in my practice. Some of them were immediate. Some of what the author suggests involves a bit of a learning curve, though.

A lot of great information in these pages. It really sounds like the author has your best interests in mind!

Great read with tons of relevant to information to implement. I follow Pat's Smart Passive income Podcast and truly enjoy the business process set up the book provides.

The only reason for the 4-Star is that some of this information is literally over my head. Pat's approach is consistent and well thought out. I am barely in Stage one and trying to find some idea... so Stage 5 Flight is still a ways away.

Biggest takeaways = Mind mapping, Spread sheet linking categories (P.L.A.N.), Celebrating the small successes.

Worth another read when I get my idea going. Definitely a book to archive and keep. Pass this on to some other entrepreneurs.
