Pretty good. I'm thinking a bit differently about my small business now. More relaxed about it, but I think better over the long haul.

The encouragement I needed to hear to know I'm on the right path!

I read this today and I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU because it's exactly what I needed. I've been launching and nurturing my own micro ventures for nearly 10 years and I genuinely agree with you when you say you aren't the kind of person that can focus just on one thing. That's exactly what I'm like! The trouble is, I've spent most of my time as a self employed person assuming I'm scatter brained or somehow a failure because I can't laser focus on a single pursuit. I have interests in so many areas and your book helped reaffirm that I'm on the right path. I genuinely have never cared for being a millionaire or anything close to it, so why have I put so much pressure on myself when success means something different to me than those whose advice I've been listening to?

Thanks again for helping me see things more clearly. I've hated trying to conform or force myself into a box, and now I'll go forward proud of nurturing multiple projects!

Decent but a bit long and wordy

I enjoyed the book but for the point it was expressing it was a tad long and wordy. It often said the same point at three different places along the book but the points were valid nonetheless

If you need a pep talk into starting a project that may return some beer money every month, this is a good book. No instructions on how-to, just motivation on the fact you should.

Easy and quick read.

It is a short book but packs a punch with some pragmatic advice on Microventures
- Dont worry if you dont have great ideas
- Dont worry about failures, keep at it - Endurance is the key - think long term.
- Microventures help you learn and progressively get better
- Microventures lets you create and grow things gradually
- Dont have to do only the things you love but keep an open mind and try diferent things as long as it makes you money
- Keep your day job and the microventure should be more like a side hustle
- Even if the microventure grows still have an alternate plan -have a contingency always
- Dont get burned out due to your microventure
- Dont expect the microventure is going to make you a millionaire - it should be a long term play with small successes.

The book advices you to have a aim-low approach - which seems to be against other books that advice to aim high.
