So after doing the Gary Halbert 30 day challenge a while back, Gary recommended in the challenge to read the book 7 Steps to Freedom II - How to Escape the American Rat Race by Ben Suarez.

I found the book to be incredibly detailed. It talks about how to find a quality product, determining if the product is a winner or not, and it goes into great detail on how to structure your business in order scale effectively and it talks about accounting systems, product fulfillment, estimating risk along with of bunch of other topics.

Although the book was written in 1995, I feel that quite a bit of it could be applicable to building a product-based business in today's world.

What are your thoughts on the book?
