So, basically, you need to have some sort of skill or idea that you can in turn make into some way for it to make money without you actually spending time on it? I.e., have your money make money? But don’t you have to have some sort of tangible or marketable skill or worth in the first place? How do I, as a developer for a small company, turn what I do into something where I don’t have to actually *do* what I do, but yet still have it making me income?

Granted, I *can* work from home pretty easily, though there’s something to be said at this point to being available in the office. But the opportunity is there. But that doesn’t get me away from the “shackles” of working for someone else. And I don’t see what I can immediately do to change that since I don’t perceive myself to have any tangible ideas of how I can make a living independent of working for someone else. I’d love to be a writer (moreso because of that old romatic ideal of writing than actually having talent) and set my own hours, but I’m not seeing it.

I’m still gonna have to check the book out, though. :-)
