Flow is an incredible feeling. However I’m not sure it’s an indication that what you’re doing will be profitable. I love writing Monevator, my investing blog, and I can and do get sucked up into writing it for hours.

Thing is, perhaps one day I’ll be rewarded, but on present trends it’ll never make me more than an expensive cup of coffee a day, despite a growing readership, nice emails from readers etc.

It’d be madness for me to give up the day job, in other words.

Exactly…. this book is definitely about “making it happen” and not just sitting around and thinking about it anymore….

Money,

Sounds like a interesting book. I will definitely give it a look. From what you summarized the themes certainly go along with my thinking. Reading books like these are great for showing others there is another way. The next part is making it happen.

Yes, that’s part of what I talk about in part 2. And it was part of my initial feeling too (see above) but it really changes after the first few chapters… it’s packed full of resources. But I’m sure you skimmed through the book, no?

I picked up the book, but couldn’t get into the groove of it. I stopped about 50 pages in. Should I have kept going in your opinion?
