JD has one of the more succinct descriptions of the book that I've seen:
In Career Renegade, Fields draws upon his own experience, as well as that of others, to provide a blueprint for those willing to take that entrepreneurial leap of faith.The focus of the book is simple: how do you make money doing something you love? JD's conclusion? Career Renegade is a great book if you think you might enjoy working for yourself. Along the way JD's review gives you a good overview of the book's content.
There are a number of other reviews available on the book. Donald Latumahina (Life Optimizer) gives it a thumbs up. Mark Shead (Productivity 501) was also impressed. Lynn Truong at WiseBread says it "struck a deep chord." And Jennifer Roland at Suite101 gave the book high marks. From Jennifer:
He (Fields) closes with a powerful statement that should become a mantra for anyone seeking to follow in Fields' footsteps and making their passion their new career: "I began to accept responsibility not only for my life to date, but for the process of making it come alive from that moment forward."There are also a number of interesting interviews with Fields floating around out there in the Blogosphere. Three examples:
- With Greg Go at About.com
- With Greg Stansberry at Freelance Switch
- With Leo Babauta at Zen Habits

Taking responsibility for your actions is indeed one of the first things you can start doing, if you wnat to be successful on your own. Blaming others is fine, as long as you have a cushy job which doesn't expect results.

Essen bank krise
Die Frankfurter Sparkasse ist bereit, für einen bestimmten Kreis von Kunden einen Teil des Schadens zu übernehmen, der ihnen durch den Kauf von Lehman-Zertifikaten entstanden ist. „In einigen wenigen wirtschaftlichen Härtefällen bieten wir unseren Kunden aus Kulanzgründen eine Beteiligung am entstandenen finanziellen Schaden an“, äußerte ein Sprecher des zur Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen zählenden Kreditinstituts auf Anfrage. Das Wort „Entschädigung“ vermied er.
Weiter sagte der Sprecher, bis Ende April wolle die Frankfurter Sparkasse die Prüfung jedes Einzelfalls beenden. Die ersten Schreiben an Kunden seien am Dienstag versandt worden. „In diesen Briefen stellen wir als Ergebnis unserer bisherigen Prüfungen fest, dass unsere Kunden aus unserer Sicht im Rahmen der anleger- und anlagegerechten Beratung auf die bestehenden Chancen und Risiken hingewiesen worden sind, so dass keine Entschädigungszahlung angeboten wird.“

THE Australian dollar
At the local close, it was trading at US72.45c, up from Thursday's close of US72.36c.
During the session, the unit traded between US73.24c and US72.24c.
It began the local session at a six-month high of US73.18-22c.
ICAP economist Adam Carr said risk appetite was boosted by the declining US dollar.
The safe-haven currency declined during the four-day Easter break after news that US bank Wells Fargo had posted a better-than-forecast guidance for its first-quarter earnings.
"The Aussie's tracked higher," Mr Carr said. "We've had a couple of bounces up a couple of hundred points.
"US dollar weakness has been the key thing over the Easter period. Today, we've given some of those gains back, but not a lot. Significantly, we've held over US72c."
According to Wells Fargo, it expects "record" net income, about $US3 billion ($4.1 billion) for the first three months of 2009.
Markets considered it another sign of improvement in credit and lending markets. But Mr Carr said the overnight offshore session could prove volatile for the Australian dollar.
