Book Description

The author of the best-selling Guerilla Marketing series presents a comprehensive, practical guide-book loaded with ideas for a seemingly infinite number of entrepreneurial ventures.

Customer Reviews:

Still works.......2005-02-27

I read the earlier edition years ago. It's a positive, upbeat book about creating multiple "profit centers" (or income streams, if you prefer to think of it that way) and planning for those "spaghetti days" when nothing is coming in. I wasn't as prepared then as now to put those principles in place, so I'm happy to have the revised edition.

What I like best is that he provides a broad enough spectrum of ideas in his books so that none of them are industry-specific. (By contrast, a lot of consulting books focus on only management consulting and many freelance books focus on journalism or advertising when you might be in IT, interior design, or tutoring.)

The Guru of Guerilla Marketing knows his stuff. So far, I never met a Levinson book I didn't like.

Ignore the other comments. This book could change your life!.......1999-03-12

Mel Ziegler started "The Banana Republic" after reading this book. I started my company soon thereafter.

If you have what it takes to question the prevailing paradigm and are determined to be happy at work, you'll find this book a refreshing, important alternative. If they don't get it in Estonia, shame on them, but I know it was the best $10 I ever spent.

Chaotic, destructive, useless.......1999-02-05

There's one thing you won't learn from this book. It's how to earn money without a job.

For your better orientation, I'd like to divide the book in two parts, calling the pages 1 to 100 Part 1 and pages 101-end Part 2.

Reading Part 1, one gets the feeling that Mr. Levinson has never heard the word "system". Page after page after page he talks about everything and nothing, changing subjects as he pleases and turning back to same things every once in a while. Part 1's as chaotic as a book can possibly be. If you would tear out the pages, throw'em in the air and collect in a random order, it wouldn't make any noticeable difference.

Thus, it's not an easy task to tell you about the contents of Part 1, but I'll try. Mr. Levinson begins by saying that you can earn as much money as you wish by working as little time as you wish. (I'll have a million dollars a day by working 15 minutes a day, thank you very much.) Then, Mr. Levinson starts counting skills and qualities that you just have to have in order to earn money without a job. Some of them can be learned, some can't. If you don't have them - well, sorry pal, maybe that nine-to-five job of yours isn't that bad after all. You must have really strong nerves to read it. No one has ever demonstrated me so convincingly and persistently that I'm no good at anything. I got really depressed for quite some time.

Part 1 doesn't even deserve 1 star. In fact, people should be paid for reading it.

Now, on the page 101, Mr. Levinson starts actually delivering some information. You'd never believe it but in Part 2, there are chapters with clearly defined subjects, in logical order, each chapter dealing with a different subject and with only one subject at a time! You shouldn't hope too much, of course - it's still Levinson. However, because of the Part 2, he deserves 2 stars.

Still, the information provided in Part 2, useful as it may be, is nothing extraordinary and is very far from justifying the book's title.

Summary: The book contains some useful information, but definitely not worth the money. If you read the book anyway, you'd better start on page 101, skipping the first part for good. However, my advice is - don't waste your money on Levinson.

One Money-Making Idea a Day for a Year!.......2000-08-07

'Sophie Tucker . . . was right when she said being rich is a whole lot better than being poor . . . She moved with the times. So must you.' Nancy Dunnan's latest list of money-making ideas is full of ideas for improving your stance versus the tax authorities, purchasing items for less, making better investments, and living a more intelligent life through accessing key ideas on the Internet.

Here are a few examples:

Never buy a mutual fund in December -- that's when they distribute their capital gains for the year and you'll pick up a tax bill for gains that you really didn't get to enjoy (if you make the purchase in a taxable account).

You can get a higher rate of interest on federally-insured bank CDs by buying them from your regular stock broker -- they look around for the best deal across the country and will charge nothing if you already have an account with them. You can often get an extra half point of interest that way.

If you want to own index mutual funds, own them in taxable accounts and buy high turnover mutual funds with your tax-free accounts. You'll save a lot of taxes that way. Know what the annual trading turnover is on the mutual funds you own or are considering purchasing. Generally high-turnover funds will cost you more money in fees and taxes.

Get a Roth IRA for you and one for each of your children if you qualify. Having been held for 5 years and after age 59 1/2, the withdrawals are tax-free and you can withdraw whenever you want.

If inflation starts to rise and you want interest income, buy the U.S. Treasury's new I bonds that are indexed to inflation. Your interest payments will rise, and your principal will be safe.

Make your airline reservations just after midnight. That's when airlines make more discount seats available.

If you're having trouble getting venture capital, approach the business school you attended. They often invest now in projects sponsored by alumni/ae.

If you like to trade on-line, have two accounts in case one is down because of computer problems.

Double check all of your on-line confirmations. There's lots of good ideas for catching and correcting mistakes.

The only area where I found the book a little wanting was in picking stocks. Many of the old chestnuts (dogs of the Dow, quality growth stocks, etc.) were described. But the latest research has shown better ways to do each of these things than are described here. For example, see ChangeWave Investing for finding high growth stocks. You can check your ideas with the items here, but don't count on this book as a source of cutting edge stock-picking advice.

You'll get your money back many times over however with this fine book, and you'll enjoy the simple, clear writing style. Financial advice doesn't have to be long and complicated to be helpful.

This is the Best Money Saving Book!.......2000-03-30

You can't afford NOT to buy this book. It gives you many things in life that we take for granted. For instance, when at a car dealership- never tell a salesman the exact model and color you're looking for. The salesman would try to put extra add ins in the cost, but if you refuse all of it. Most likely to close the deal, the salesman would throw it in FREE. I am happy that I'd read this book before I'd bought my new car. I've saved alot from many other examples in the book and so would you.

Recommendation: Strong Buy

A good step forward........2003-08-25

This is a dense book, and takes time and effort to read and understood.

If you have read 'The Fifth Discipline', the books of Chris Agyris, and other organizational theory but still thinks something is missing, that they can't really explain how organizations work (but only how they ought to work), this book will get you further. It is not an ends to all means, but definitly an important new consideration.

The book's greatest weakness is the same as many other organization books: it doesn't tell where his theory comes to short, and what consequences the 'organizational-environmental-biospheres' have.
Knowing the very basics about Freud other psychology helps as the book tries to bridge the gap between the psychology and social understanding of organizations.

What the book does, is to represent an interesting link from narcissism (the psychological level) to how subordinates and managers interact (the social/organizational level), to how (and which) employes are promoted and thus which values are amplified among top-level managers. This is then used in the second part of the book to explain the Challenger accident and the big downfall in marketshare of General Motors.

A Business Book That Tells the Truth--For a Change!.......2000-08-06

I have asked Howard Schwartz to write a new edition of this incredibly truthful, and therefore unusual and important book. He hasn't responded to my request---I wish he would update this book to the present. It would be a mind-blower book for the year 2000. Anti-corporate activists MUST read this book to understand what they are up against even though published in 1990.

This book is the ONLY book that uncovers how and why management schools such as the Harvard Business School and others fail to prepare managers to deal with their employees and the public in any other way than abusively! Scwartz teaches organization behavior and knows his subject!

Michael Maccoby has written in the Harvard Business Review (Jan/Feb 2000) that management narcissism is on the increase. Schwartz's book describes what this will mean---especially if, for example, NASA proceeds with Cassini (nuclear powered) type probes. NASA administrators, like all federal administrators, share narcissistic character styles that make their judgements dangerous, because these narcissistic folks are so divorced from reality they would risk their own families to maintain image.

Take the 1986 shuttle disaster. The top administrator said that the chances of failure were 1 in 100,000. The engineers and statisticians said 1 in 20. Why such a lie by the administrator? Because Reagan wanted the Challenger to fly....and among narcissists, who can say no when it's so easy and seemingly necessary to lie to keep one's image!

Narcissistic Process describes exactly how increasing narcissism among management elites will cause destruction of the planet---and exactly why we, the public, won't stop them (because we emulate these sick folks and are totally unconscious of our need to project our power!)
