This book is really great inspiration to me. Due to recession I start my own homebased Computer repair service business. And my prime intention to start this business to stay with my family and work for me not for others.

I also could probably learn from the lessons in this book. Right now, work seems to take priority over anything else. I guess part of that is not having regular hours, so there aren’t any defined limits to the “work day.”

Boundaries is an issue for a lot of freelancers, and any new method for trying to establish ones that stick is appreciated.

This is a great article. I’ve never heard of entrepreneurship in terms of options – only how much money/status one can make. Ever since I was a kid, I had a dream of retiring at 45 years old. I didn’t so much dream of being rich but having the time/flexibility to travel, visit family, and do what I wanted when I wanted. I’m employed full-time, but I started a website for people who are looking for fulfilling careers for this reason. I figured if people are going to end up working most of their adult lives…they may as well be inspired by their jobs. Thanks for this entry – it’s changed my whole perspective.
