Serve No Master: How to Escape the 9-5, Start up an Online Business, Fire Your Boss and Become a Lifestyle Entrepreneur or Digital Nomad by Jonathan Green

This book was just ok for me.

Book Review: The title and subtitle are geared to get you to make an immediate purchase. It plays on the fantasy of being able to break free from being a corporate wage slave, to push you to be your own boss, and pursue your dreams. Jonathan Green provides plenty of back-stories, as well as tips to succeed in entrepreneurship. I do think some of the information in this text was repetitive. I also believe that this text would have benefited from being shorter and to the point.

Freebies given within this text to aid readers are a plus to aid them in their journey to become pioneers. However, after purchasing this book, I could not help but feel that it was overpriced. Personal effort and willpower were exerted to get through this publication, due to the length of it, and the reiteration. This volume can be considered the author’s ‘magnum opus’, which most likely propelled him into writing other books.

Book Review Conclusion: Do I recommend this book to other people? Yes. Should you buy it at the currently priced of $7.99? No.

The best course of action would be to read it for free through Kindle Unlimited.

I do not endorse this book as a trophy to place on your bookshelf, but it does warrant your attention at least once in your lifetime. I do urge you to read this book as soon as possible, but it’s ok to chapter-hop if you are only looking for specific information. It has the potential to persuade you to change your life for the better!

When I bought this book, it was priced at $9.99. Therefore, I do want to praise Jonathan Green for recognizing that his work was overpriced. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the current price for his book is still too high.
