Must-read masterpiece

"Escaping The Self Employment Trap" is another masterpiece from Victor Cheng, whose insights continue to surpasses even this jaded reader who had read many books on the matter as well as in general. While it's easy to categorize it as a street-smart, "in-the-trenches" type of book with actual, real-world advice examples (which would have even been enough), but it goes beyond that to discuss the theory and reasoning to show you why the concepts and ideas work, thereby completing the power you can derive from this masterpiece. Cheng provides the 5 "secrets" (or steps, if you will, noting that these are ideally applied in sequence) to work ON your business instead of IN it. But there's more. There may be some books that share the concepts (notably E-Myth Revisited, or Robert Kiyosaki's books, among others), but this stands on its own, to complement but also provide unique insights beyond what the other books provide, and espouses the importance of how to escape the trap that hits many small businesspeople, and then provides you with not just a way out of it, but shows you the way to jump-start your way out of that purgatory of frustrated, burnt-out self-employment, and permanently as well as sustainably become a true, free, lifestyle entrepreneur, which is what is likely the reason you got into business for yourself in the first place. There are concepts, ideas and theories, but also specific examples, ideas, tips and techniques, while giving you concrete examples on how to actually work out the processes that serve as the foundation for growth, and that make this book something you'll wish you read years ago, but which you can only be too happy to be reading now.
