Amazon.com Review
Mark Bunting's message is both simple and wise: it takes work and perseverance to build the life you want. But anything is easier to build when you have the right tools--and the computer can be an extremely powerful tool. While the book tells of how he managed his own move from hand-to-mouth existence to millionaire status, it's not about getting rich quick. It's about tapping into the resources that computers make available for business, personal relationships, and achieving dreams. The result is highly inspirational--and the practical advice is excellent.

From Booklist
Bunting, host of the cable syndicated show The Computer Man, offers this pep talk for the cyberphobic and the technologically challenged. Dripping with techno-enthusiasm, Bunting tells us how he went from computer illiterate to owner of a $20 million computer television company in a mere 36 months. You can do it, too, he claims, by overcoming your fears and reinventing yourself as a home-based entrepreneur who can transform megabytes into megabucks. Bunting has abundant sympathy for those with little or no computer skills, and he keeps the jargon to a bare minimum. Knowledge will come naturally once you are hooked on computers, he points out; the important part is to boot up, log on, and carve out your niche in the information revolution. Filled with infomercial-like testimonials from people who did precisely that, this book will appeal to those who are looking for an encouraging nudge into the next century. George Eberhart

Customer Reviews

A nice tale of success, little useful information
The riches to rags to riches success story is quite interesting and sometimes even inspirational. The book is very easy to read. However, for an entrepreneur looking for practical tips or information it is quite useless. This is a good book to read for general inspiration and to lift the spirit only. Seek guidance elsewhere.

Inspirational
This book is extremely inspirational. Mark Bunting gave up a 100,ooo dollar job to reach his quest, as he called it. He realized yopu have to try no matter what and the risk paid off. He was a multi-millionare really soon. This book shows how he started with no knowledge and worked up, also explaining that you can do. A must have for sny aspiring entreptuears or money-seekers

Refreshing book...Tony Robbinesque
