This is essentially a book on how to make money online and start your own business. Having read many other similar books but taken little action, I was keen to see if this offered any new insights and actually got me doing something to make some money.
The book promises it will show you how to make real money fast, as well as teaching some strategies for longer term income streams. There are several online business models discussed, all of which the author states he has had success with.
Being realistic, you’re unlikely to be raking in the millions within a few weeks. This isn’t a get-rich-quick book, and there are no ‘secret systems’ revealed. Whatever path you choose to follow, it’s going to involve massive and consistent effort, starting at the bottom for little money and working your way up. It’s going to take time to build skills, experience and a client base.
Having said that, going in with the right expectations, the right plan (which the book provides) and a lot of persistence, I can see no reason why any of the business models described here wouldn’t work. Where I found this book significantly better than similar ones is that there is a pretty comprehensive section on analysing what skills and equipment you already have that you could put to use immediately. I particularly enjoyed this section, and it got me thinking creatively about what unique combinations of attributes, skills and interests I can bring that would be of use to someone, and what types of jobs I would actually enjoy doing. The author’s suggested business model is all about using what you’ve already got to generate money to fund the next part of your business - scaling up gradually without going into debt.
There is a huge section on overcoming potential barriers that may be holding you back - great for those procrastinators amongst us that are always finding an excuse not to dive in and take action. Some useful tips here.
There are plenty of questions to think about and action steps to take. The author insists that you work through the book with a pen and notebook (or there’s a free journal that you can download and fill in as you go), and having quickly read through the book initially, I am looking forward to re-reading it and going through the exercises. The author’s intention is clear - to get you to actually take action, rather than just to enjoy the book or be inspired. It’s well written and easy to read just as a book, with plenty of stories, anecdotes and examples of success and failures from the author's own life.
After reading dozens of entrepreneurial books, I have come to realise that you had all the information you needed after the first two or three - you just need to pick one and do what it says. This book is as good as any for that. It’s well structured, practical and easy to follow. If you can’t make money after doing everything this book says, then no other entrepreneurial book is going to help much.
Overall, a very enjoyable read - full of practical advice, and as good as any that I’ve read in this genre.

Like a cooking show – only without the boredom
Authors use their time to build books – if you reach out to them and they reply, it will be either something gracious and short or something written by an intern. At least, that’s something I’ve seen quite a bit; it’s nice from a consumer’s viewpoint, because you know they are at least still producing the work you want to read.
Jonathan Green is different.
I came across his work as part of a large promotion helping a children’s charity. After reading the free parts of his websites and other things he had to say, I emailed him and shared a portion of my situation. Getting free access to this book in exchange for an honest review was part of his response.
What does that have to do with the book itself?
A few things which separate Jonathan from many other information sellers out there are the facts that he is completely transparent, he’s been through it all before and figured out how to flourish, and he refuses to pull punches. If something’s stupid he tells you; on the flip side of that, if he is offering something to help he doesn’t hold anything back – you get the whole package of info, without any implication that the most important parts of the mystery can only be revealed in a paid seminar.
These traits, which reveal a hard worker with ethics, come through in his print books including “Breakthrough”. This is not a collection of sweet and sappy platitudes (a friend calls that kind of writing “platitudinous bilge”), but rather a carefully sequenced series of actions sharing how you can get to where you want to be away from cubical slavery. He never offers the moon and he is very careful to state that this path will not be for everyone – but I really appreciate the fact that his actionable steps are things I can do and that I am currently able to do, without the need for a big loan or any extra equipment.
And it’s delivered in a completely relatable style, which helps me sit up and take note because I feel he’s actually speaking to me.
Using the rarer model of the Five Rings (rather than the business-ubiquitous Art of War), he guides the reader through a self-assessment process to help clarify personal goals and identify the personal cost and motivation necessary to get to those goals. He provides solid guidelines and practical steps, and includes plenty of non-platitudinous encouragement.
The old cooking shows I watched growing up shared the ingredients, showed the steps, and hey-presto here’s the finished meal – generally super boring to watch but worth (sometimes) the big reveal. He shares all the ingredients and shows all the steps, then opens a window into his own life today so we can see that everything did, in fact, come together; however, Jonathan’s humor and straight-forward tone completely removes boredom from the equation.
This is an excellent book, it actually helped and is helping, and the time spent reading it has been definitely proved worthwhile.

This book grabbed my attention from the first chapter. Jonathan Green immediately pulls you in by writing about how his world fell apart after losing his dream job. The future he planned for himself no longer existed. So many of us have been there - we end up losing a job we planned on having for a long time, the dream job turns out to be a nightmare or we decide that the life everybody else thinks we should have isn't what we want. Either way, you reach the crossroads where you decide it's time to take a risk and do something different.
This book goes through every excuse and obstacle you will encounter on your way to living a life you truly desire. Whether you are dealing with psychological resistance or financial barriers, this book is a guide that will help you overcome some of the difficulties you will likely deal with on your path to living the life you desire.
There is so much information in this book, you'll probably have to read it two or three times to really absorb the material and apply it to your life as needed. I would recommend this book if you are eager to embark on a new way of life, whether it's starting your own business or restructuring your life in a way that best suits you.

Passion is what jumped off the page of this book. It didn't take long for me to devour the whole book because of the passion Jonathan shows in the first chapters. I believe he's passionate to help others because of what he's achieved and overcome in his own life. This book can light a fire in your life.
Take that passion and add real to it. Some books seem to think all of us fit into the same box. This book fits into real life where one size doesn't fit all. Wherever you are, whatever you're able to do, there is something here for you.
Would you like to break out of the box you're in? Jonathan takes you through addressing your mindset, acknowledging and handling the barriers you face, assessing the positives you possess, steps to take to get your efforts to make a difference, and finding your own path of a business model. You will find what fits you.
There are a few books I keep around to read again and again (for reminders and to help take the next step) - this is one. Wonderfully done. Worth your investment of time and money.

Breakthrough delivers a dynamic journey of self-discovery that when read with a fully-engaged mindset and active participation in the reflection questions and action steps at the end of each section will leave the reader with a clear picture of not only what their dreams are, but help them to discover what is standing in the way of bringing their dreams and goals to fruition. Jonathan has a no nonsense style of communicating his ideas that is approachable and comes across as brutally honest. By the end of the book, the amount of trust and confidence he builds with the reader is profound, spurring me personally to initiate plans for a longtime online business goal of mine to finally come to reality. Jonathan offers lots of online support for us readers to tap into during our personal journeys to get the life we want.
May 31, 2019
This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in starting, or has already started, an online business. His style of writing is very easy to follow and digest, which allows you to focus on the information and really get the most out of what he has to say. The most important part to me is that he discusses, in depth, the barriers, both physical and psychological, that often hold people back from starting their business. He breaks them down and gives you ways in which you can overcome them, so that by the end of the book you are left with no more excuses!
I would definitely recommend this book!

Breakthrough is a very thoroughly researched book by someone I have followed for several years and trust to provide the answers I'm looking for.
At 358 pages and 64 chapters, this book also has a link to his workbook so you can get started right away. I love all the chapters on Barriers. Jonathan covers everything that could show up as an obstacle on the road to launching your own business.
The forward is written by Matt Stone, someone I've also followed for years.

Jonathan writes another winner. This is a great resource if you’re at a crossroads and want to find your voice and your heart. Great ideas on ways to start and establish passive income streams. What really captured my attention is the introspection and soul searching involved when reading this book. Find your true value, show the world, and make money while you’re at it. Jonathan has a unique, warm and friendly style - so grab some tea or coffee and start your journey. It will involve a notebook and self-assessment. Great read. Highly recommend his Serve No Master series.

Breakthrough really gives you a solid plan to follow so that you can build your own business and gain freedom from the traditional work structure. I'm a big believer that clarity comes first so I especially love how the book begins with getting crystal clear on what you truly want. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever thought about leaving their job to pursue entrepreneurship, or to anyone who wants to explore, and breakthrough, their fears.

This book is full of implementation and activities to start right away. It is the book to read if you are ready to get going, if you are not ready you will be wanting to start today. I truly appreciate the daily and weekly activities that Jonathan includes as well as the means to overcome limitation and excuses. I enjoyed reading it thoroughly

Johnathan hits the spot with this book. Kudos. I look forward to reading all of Johnathan's books. Johnathan's take is point on. I know because I did this years ago. I have my own books on this subject, but I still love to read his books and make sure I am up to date. Great Ideas and great knowledge.

As usual with books by Jonathan Green, there is, in this book, a mixture of common sense, good advice, new ideas, and a practical application of all three. It is a quick read but it delivers a full bang for your buck.
