Fire Your Boss or Not Really?

I am reading* a book called "FIRE YOUR BOSS"  radical career plan to 1. take control of your work life, 2. boost your income, 3. have a job offer always in hand, 4. find happiness outside of the office. And your boss will thank you TOO! by Stephen M Pollan and Mark Levine, http://www.stephenpollan.com/books.html

As i read along the lines, contrary to the poignant title, the author wants you to work for living but have control over what your doing , with quick served power thoughts he explains these term and has awakened my senses and forces me to doing the assessment of my now and future:

  •  " work for the money, the love will follow"
  • "kill your career...and get a job" he says "this does not mean quitting your career....but attitude adjustment" wow am impressed by the way this book changes my whole outlook career vs work
  • "no one hires a stranger"
  • "its the money that count"
  • " travelling for pleasure not business"
  • "its your boss not the company that counts"
  • "meeting people in the right places"
  • " i work for money" <this is my favorite as i make up the few percent that goes with answer this first >
