Jonathan Green - Serve No Master: How to Escape the 9-5, Start Up an Online Business, Fire Your Boss and Become a Lifestyle Entrepreneur or Digital Nomad

T here must be a better way to live.

This was a constant thought that I had during my daily commute while fighting bumper-to-bumper traffic in New Jersey.

That was 2002.

But it wasnt until late 2004more than two years laterthat I finally did something to change my life.

What did I do?

I quit my job and started an Internet business.

Honestly, not a day goes by that I wish I could go back in time and begin my business those two years earlier in 2002. But at the time, I didnt know how to turn my dream of passive income into a reality.

Thats why Im excited that you have taken the first step to replacing your job by checking out the following book, Serve No Master.

In the past 13 years, I have run a variety of Internet-based businesses affiliate marketing, blogging, creating information products, and self-publishing. If there is a way to generate online income, then Ive probably tried it at one point.

During this time, Ive developed a highly-tuned B.S. Meter when it comes to people who teach strategies for generating online income. Its been my experience that most of the so-called gurus have very little practical knowledge about what it takes to build a lasting business.

Jonathan Green is different.

While Ive only met him in person one time, I had heard of his work for many years before that. And I can tell you that hes the real deal.

Not only has Jonathan built multiple successful online business, he also lives an amazing life with a house in a tropical paradise and the flexibility to always be around his family. Plus, he can grab a surfboard whenever he wants, walk across his front yart, and hop into the water to catch a few waves. To me, this is the perfect example of someone who lives life on his terms.

And in Serve No Master, Jonathan provides a blueprint you can use to start a business to live a life on your terms.

Dont get me wrong: This book wont show you how to get rich quick or anything of that nonsense. If you want to build a lasting online business, then you should be prepared to work hard and hustle.

Fortunately, Serve No Master shows you how to get started.

There are three reasons why I like (and recommend) this book.

First, Jonathan weaves together a series of short vignettes on how to develop the thinking thats necessary to escape the rat race and become your own boss. This is powerful stuff because in the words of Yoda, You must unlearn what you have learned.

The harsh truth is that most people believe the lies theyve been told about the modern world. The reality (as Jonathan shows) is that your job security is not so secure, the educational environment doesnt teach you the real skills you need to thrive, and that exchanging time for money is a fools errand.

Next, I like the fact that Jonathan teaches you the core concepts that are critical to creating an income that replaces your job. He does this by covering a few key points:

• How to create a financial plan for an online business by identifying how much you need to support you and your family.
• A simple strategy for taking that first step onlineby leveraging your existing skills and building a business off your existing talents.
• How to find a market for your business and identify the people who will pay money for your product or service.

Finally, I like Jonathans focus on building a business that serves a need and isnt about cutting corners. Sure, most of this advice isnt sexy or glamorous like what many other books promise, but his advice is exactly what I would recommend to anyone interested in getting started online.

Over a decade ago, I made the faithful decision to life live on my terms. At the time, I was told by close friends and family that it was a crazy dream. They said I should be happy with my 9-to-5 job. They said I should be grateful for a steady paycheck. They said that online businesses are nothing more than a scam. And they said that its not possible to travel the world and make money while doing it.

Im happy to say that I proved them wrong.

But I could have also failed in spectacular fashion because I didnt have a person or resource to turn to which showed how to build a real online business.

The good news is you have access to the resource that I never had. In the following pages, you will discover the proven strategies that can help you Serve No Master.
