"Step one to becoming a millionaire: read this book. Step two: quit your job. Don't worry, step two will be a lot less intimidating after you complete step one." —Chris Guillebeau, NYT bestselling author of The $100 Startup
"This is the most realistic and practical book ever written about business and personal success in the social media age. Every parent in America should buy this for their child's high school or college graduation. I know I will." —Jay Baer, author of Youtility: Why Smart Marketing is About Help not Hype
