This is probably what we nine-to-fivers need to read. It is more than inspiring; it's insightful, engaging and enlightening. Being an entrepreneur with a global business is getting easier than ever.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I love this book! I mean it. I have a software business and make a lot of money. This book hits the nail on the head. It talks about how to use globalization to become wealthy. I see this everyday. GM just announced a 30,000 employee job cut. What's going to happen to these people. This book predicted that this and more like this will continue to happen. To become wealthy you need to start an agile business and partner with larger organizations. I learned a lot from this book and will be using the knowledge to expand my business.

I was laid off a few months ago from what I thought was a very secure job where I have worked for the last 11 years. The reason for the layoff was not offshoring like many of my friends. It was technology. The company got new technology and all of a sudden I was obselete. I have had other friends and family that went through similar things, mainly because of offshoring and cheaper foreign labor. Job security just does not mean what it used to mean. This book is the first that clued me in on Globalization, downsizing and the business reasons behind it. Frankly, we're all sitting on a ticking bomb and it's somewhat scary. We're in this rat race and like the rats, we don't really stand a chance, unless we change the game. This is what Stop Working taught me how to do. It's empowering because not only do you learn what's happening in the global economy, you also learn what you can do to survive and to even thrive beyond just paying your bills. Because of this book I'm now in the process of starting a business that focuses on the global market and taking back control of my life - business and personal. I'm not afraid anymore.
Create passive income

I learned more about business from this book than I expected. Hall spent a lot of time not only explaining how to build a business but also shows how he applied his Agile concepts to his businesses. He actually walked his talk. I've been a big believer in cash flow and passive income for quite awhile now from Rich Dad, Poor Dad. However, this is the only book I've been able to find that shows how to actually build a business and create passive income from it.

So this guy re-engineers fortune 500 companies and did it for some of the largest companies in the world. He then shows you how to build a global business in this book. Hard to believe but true. Still reading the book and can't wait to get done. I keep saying WOW!!! at the turn of every page.
