EVERY Professional Needs to Read This:
Being a 'professional' myself, I was intrigued when I learned of this book. :-) As a brief introduction, my background is that of a Financial Advisor and Business Consultant to Health Professionals (physicians, dentists, surgeons, chiropractors, osteopaths, veterinarians, naturopaths, etc). I've also owned a number of Internet businesses and been involved in the Home Business industry over the past 20 years, as a student, entrepreneur and coach.

would not recommend:
I feel that the book was ill researched. Quite a few of the companies edified in the book are now shut down, out of business and some of the company founders are now in jail. also,on page 78 it says that Nutrilite was founded by Wm. Castleberry and Lee Mytinger and on page 182 it says Nutrilite was founded by Carl Rehnborg. The book was copyrighted in 2000 and many of the figures are outdated in 2008.
The New Professionals:
This book should be read by all professionals who are tired of the corporate downsizing and who want a balanced family life. This book is on target about what is happening today in the United States as we begin to move into a different business trend that will grow more and more in the coming years. This book encourages entrepreneurship.
Hands down best factual network marketing book:
This book is an absolutely comprehensive factual guide to MLM industry. I am a former marketing lecturer from Europe and have done extensive research on the MLM business model in the European market. I moved to the States a few years ago and continuing my research I think I must have read ever book on this subject. Dr. King & Mr. Robinson book is the best and the most factual book on this subject that I have ever read. I would highly recommend it.
