I purchased this book two years ago when I was in a financial crisis after losing my job. I listened to Dave Ramsey on the radio and he recommended this book.So I read this book, and did I find a job after 48 days? NO! In fact I lost a few hundred dollars when I got into SMC (drop shipping company) which I read about at the end of the book.But why exactly do I give this book 5 stars? Because it helped me realize who I am and what I like to do. Yes, it's common sense, but Dan Miller brakes it up for you and makes it easy to see.Also this book gave me ideas. Instead of laying on the couch and watching Oprah reruns, it made me think, act, move, send out resumes, run a marathon... It gave me hope when I needed it.
