In fairness and full disclosure, Victor Cheng is a friend and business colleague of mine. I’ve known him for over 3 years, and is one of the people I e-mail and share advice with on a frequent basis.

That being said, you should jump through fire and walk over glass to get your own copy of this book - if you are a self-employed business owner or entrepreneur. Victor, who has an incredible knack for giving concise, accurate, and wise business advice, takes on the dirty little secret that most solo-business owners never knew existed until they venture on the own. It’s a trap — a self-employment trap — and you don’t know it’s there until you look up and realize that the dream of owning your own business isn’t everything you thought it would be. You never figured that running your own business would actually put you in a worse job than you left - 12-15 hour days, 6-7 days per week, constant stress, overwhelming tasks, and administrative headaches that you could never know about until you find yourself knee deep.

Congratulations, you been snared by the self-employment trap, and like thousands of other entrepreneurs before you, you found out way too late to avoid it. You opened your new business to get rich and enjoy freedom that you didn’t have with your job, yet you have less freedom, less time, and maybe even less money now than before.

Victor takes this problem head-on. He offers a solution - 5 strategies to achieve more money, time. and freedom. Literally, as you work your way through this book, you will see the light, and see that there actually is a way out for the solo business owner, and certainly a better way to achieve your goals of time, money, and freedom that you thought.

Victor Cheng (http://www.MoreFreedom.com) is big into building a business that fits your personal lifestyle choice. Determine what lifestyle you want, then build a business to match it. Very cool concept, and not just a pipe dream. Victor shows you how to do it.

His experience working for the powerhouse firm, McKinsey & Company and his solo-business experiences have provided him the ability to teach any business owner the magic of building systems and procedures. He teach you that these systems actually free you, not limit you. In fact, the opposite is true. A business that lacks systems and procedures becomes a prison, full of chaos and disorder. You will always be fighting fires, re-doing work, and falling behind in a business like that.

Victor was the person that encouraged me and coached me through the principles of creating systems for my business. With this advice, I was confident to hire staff to help me manage my business, and assured that work is being done properly because the systems make it possible.

The book will definitely give you all that you need to make the move, but I would encourage you to also join his coaching program which provides you a monthly newsletter and CD of advice to hammer home the principles in the book with further explanation and real-life examples.

I encourage all entrepreneurs and solo-business owners that are in, or starting to feel the walls closing in around them to get this book. It will be your key to unlocking the secrets of more freedom, time, and money for you.
