I found this book many years ago. Loved it. Subscribed to Barbara's newsletter and loved that to. I can honestly say that this is a book that changed my life, and that's the truth. The title may be a little misleading, because the typical person that takes Barbara's advice may not have a boss, but he/she definitely isn't unemployed. I've been more productive and more satisfied with my professional career, and busier because of the principles expounded by Barbara. Something that I learned from this book, and from the newsletter, is the principle of multiple profit centers. This made all the difference in my life and once I understood what she was talking about I have never looked back and not a day has gone by that her advice wasn't acted upon in my own life.Multiple profit centers are for those of us who are brimming with great ideas and have the ability to juggle multiple projects at the same time. By following her advice we get to give almost every idea a try to see if it will take off and make us some money, or even a lot of money. This is the opposite of "putting all your eggs in one basket". I currently have five profit centers that bring in income regularly plus a couple others that are hit and miss depending on circumstances and opportunities. And I'm actively working on developing another one right now, with a few more on my someday list. Why is this desirable? If one of my profit centers falters, I still have all the others. So unlike an employee, who makes his living by serving one customer, his boss, I have several areas that bring in money. While no one is successful enough by worldly standards to pay all my bills and make me rich, together they all get the job done. I am one of Barbara's people who is "making a living without a job.
