As George Stancliffe, author, wrote,

I got my copy of this book in about 1970. So it is the first edition (with a slightly different title [“..up to $100,000…”] before the inflation of the ’70’s). This book helped give me my first dream of being self-employed. It gave me my first education in how to run the “nuts and bolts” operation of a small business (especially mail-order). Sure, it’s got its share of hype and “positive” talk, but that is what I needed at that stage in my development into a self-employed business owner . . . 32 years later, I’m self-employed and have been that way for the last 15 years, at least. I am grateful to Tyler Hicks for giving me a start and pointing me in the right direction.
