The real-world examples and humor make it a fun read while still being super informative. Whether you're just thinking about quitting your job or already working on a business idea, this book gives you a solid game plan.

Having your business

As I listen to this audiobook, the author shares his story about firing his boss because he can start his own business. I wish I were in his shoes to do that, but I don’t have the talent. Starting your own business takes a lot of time and effort. The blueprint to transition from employee to full-time entrepreneur is something I am aiming to follow so I have an idea of how to start my own business. There are a lot of real-world examples of marketing strategies for business that I can learn from, and they will help me be successful on my journey, as the author experiences. The Narrator has done a great job with he voice and fits the author.
