For fans of The 4-Hour Workweek, entrepreneur and consultant Fox (Internet Riches) offers a guide to escaping the daily grind. Most people are dissatisfied with their 9–5 jobs and never get the chance to find work they love. Using an aggressively chipper tone (“Join the Click Millionaires Revolution!”). Fox’s rousing go-go-go program leads readers through every step of the transition from cubicle to home office. He urges readers to create a lifestyle business, in which they prioritize a flexible schedule and independent work over profits and stress, using Web sites, e-commerce, digital publishing, and social media to build businesses that work on their own schedules—first part-time and then developing a niche business online that generates recurring revenues automatically. His comprehensive, pragmatic approach covers online presence, social networking, production and operations, and online advertising, and includes interviews from those who’ve succeeded. Though working from a beach will remain a pipe dream for most, Fox presents a solid plan for those looking to shed the shackles of corporate life.
