I have to say, I love the book, and it's already helped me reduce my workload down from 20 hours a week to maybe 10. Once I outsource somethings, I should be able to get it down to 4 or less. I quit my real job 4 years ago, but I soon may finally be free enough to really travel. Learning new languages, getting off the beaten path and doing really crazy things has always been really scary... But, hopefully I'll be there soon.
I do think the book focuses too much on making a sellable product. Many of NR have created their wealth through content or online service sites (including me). I think they may be a bit slower to scale up and may require a bit more front end work, however, they require less start up capital and in the long run, require even less time to operate. These would include blogs, forums, widgets and just cool little online apps. If you're a writer, designer or software developer, this would probably be the best thing for you. Making money is just about getting traffic and having Google Adsense on your pages. (and, all the people pumping money into AdWords will be paying you to advertise their new products)
