Review: A guide to start a new business for $100 Startup

I have switched to posting book reviews in my book review blog : http://bookandauthors.wordpress.com. The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau is however, a book related to my work. Hence, I am posting a brief of the book here. Rest in the link provided after the brief.
 
Book Review Brief:
 
The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau (Pan Macmillan)
Price: Rs. 499
Summary: Tells you can change your job to change your life
The $100 Startup is largely for the people who already own a job and prefers to walk of the regular 9 to 5 job to work on something on your own. The book will help you brainstorm your ideas and learn how people come up with ideas expectedly or unexpectedly (due to circumstances) to venture out with a new mirco business. Chris Guillebeau focuses on two themes, 'Freedom' and 'Value' throughout the book. He shows you how you can turn your passion to profit, but not all hobbies can be converted to business or profit.

And more than before, I rejected several of the offered assignments either because they wanted to work for very low rates or the topics weren't of interest to me. For now, I am trying to win assignments from a couple of national publications. And hope I can find time to fulfill my much-...
