Review: Back to the old American resourcefulness!

I am really delighted at this growing trend that has increasing numbers of budding entrepreneurs and self-sufficient homesteaders--they call themselves everything from "SHTF" freaks, to sustenance living advocates--ditching the trap the monopoly capitalists and big government has tried to enslave the American working class in, and striking off on their own. Anna has displayed great resourcefulness and more than average common sense--a trait lacking in too many aspiring businesspeople--and has laid everything out in a simple, easy-to-understand format that practically anyone can understand and follow. She doesn't mince any of the drawbacks of starting and running your own business, either, unlike a lot of these glib salesmen of "GRQ" schemes or profit-mongers do, who would have you believe that making millions of dollars in an e-commerce business is easy as composing an e-mail, and just as quick. (Which is a big lie, as anyone who has ever fallen for any of their schemes can tell you.) I do think, however, she ignores the reality of the faltering dollar in her monetary advisements, but then, I don't know when this was written. She's also quite realistic about her and her husband's homestead; it's not all skipping through the daisies, but she keeps her style light enough that aspiring homesteaders won't be discouraged. This is a very good introduction to anyone thinking about marketing their own product on the internet, or thinking about a self-sufficient lifestyle.
