$1000 in 48 hours? Are you kidding me?
24th January 2006
A review of “Desperate for Money” by Shawn Casey and others.
The idea seemed ridiculous, a book about some high-rollers telling us “average joes” how to make some quick bucks, but the sales-letter was good, so as usual, i bought the damn thing.
It wasn’t bad. Not bad at all.
The idea is this:
“A gang of armed and masked desperados burst into your home, holds your family hostage under gun-point and gives you a computer with internet-connection and 48 hours to get $1000 or they will kill your family”
The “gurus’s” that participated are: Marc and Terry Goldman, Bob Silber, Alan Bechtold, Joe Vitale, Jeff West, Bob Wilson, Jason Mangrum, Jim Fleck and Jeff Paul, Kennon Fort, Eric Van Der Hope, Joshua Shafran, Elizabeth D Nichols, Michael T Glaspie and last, but not least, Stone Evans.
The idea is that they were not allowed to use their current knowledge or network of jv-partners or colleagues, nor their current lists. They had to do it from scratch. And they did.
So, is it any good? Any worth-while ideas? Anything you can put to use?
Well, I’ll be honest, some of the ideas in this book are really good, and others are a bit out there. There are a few I wouldn’t mind doing myself, if I wasn’t so dang lazy. Others I wouldn’t even consider, but maybe you would.
All in all, it’s a good product, and it’s not overpriced. I like it. It’s a good read, and someday, if the lazy-bug stops biting me, I’m gonna try some of the tactics in this book.
