5.0 out of 5 stars
It will change how you think about your skills/abilities.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making a Living without a Job: Winning Ways for Creating Work That You Love (Paperback)
This book is the book for exploring your fears, strengths, weaknesses, and possibilities for how to face tomorrow and earning money there. It has basic exercises to stimulate your exploration of what you can offer the marketplace, and it provides easily understandable commonsense direction of how to find "work" you will enjoy. I have also read "Do what you love and the money will follow" by Marsha Sinetar. Both authors agree that you must do something you enjoy, but Barbara Winter gives you some direction on how to discover what that is. I can't say enough about this book. I am inspired, and I know that I will not spend the rest of my life dreading my "day job" and working only for the weekend.

Outdated and a bore!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making a Living without a Job: Winning Ways for Creating Work That You Love (Paperback)
Although I felt there was some value related to "earning centers", most of this book is one quote after another. Some of the things that really bothered me were related to what she learned from her divorce and failed marrage. Not interested Ms. Winter!Some of the points of this book may have been valid in the early 1990's, but things are a lot different with the Internet. Since 90 percent of this book is quotes from others, the author should be listed as "Barbara J. Winter, et.al., et.al, et.al, et.al." Save your money for something more recent!

This Book Makes You Think About Your Attitude About Work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making a Living without a Job: Winning Ways for Creating Work That You Love (Paperback)
I'd like to recommend "Making a Living Without a Job" by Barbara J. Winter. This is the first book that really put a bee in my bonnet that maybe I can take my financial future into my own hands. It explains how at the turn of the century, most people were self-employed, but then came the industrial age, and people made more money working for a corporation.This created a generation of people who didn't believe they could make it on their own, people who didn't know how to work for themselves because they had no examples to go by. The part of this book that caught my eye was the chapter on creating multiple profit centers. What that is, is whereas the employee thinks in terms of the single income source, the entrepreneur develops multiple income sources, like a portfolio that encompasses all of your different skills. I would recommend this book just for the encouragement it gives. It doesn't answer a lot of questions, and I haven't taken the plunge yet, but it certainly gives ideas about how a person can make a living without being employed.
