"It's about freedom. As I travel the world living my own rockstar lifestyle, I discover that freedom is in very short supply for most people. Maybe it is for you too - you can change that though",writes music producer, IT consultant, and entrepreneur Rasmus Lindgren in his very hands on and positive results oriented book The Lifestyle Business Rockstar!: Quit your 9 -5, kick ass, work less, and live more. The author describes how how to establish a successful business that offers freedom to live the life you choose, and shares the practical steps to make a rockstar lifestyle a reality.

Rasmus Lindgren understands that that starting a lifestyle business doesn't also mean becoming a millionaire. For the author, the freedom provided by the lifestyle is more important than money. Rasmus Lindgren offers the premise that the book is about the freedom for a person's lifestyle to take priority over work in the nine to five world. The author shares his proven tools including the Rockstar Trifecta and Designing Your Lifestyle Business. Rasmus Lindgren presents the concept as a realistic one, where a person doesn't have to mortgage their future, but they won't get rich immediately either.

Rasmus Lindgren (photo left) recognizes that some people prefer the traditional nine to five workplace. This book is written for those individuals who are seeking freedom from what the author considers a lie. He points out that the traditional lifelong employment dream no longer exists, and is even less financially secure and less safe than starting a lifestyle oriented business. Because the entrepreneur, who places their lifestyle and freedom first, there is less need to make huge amounts of money.The lifestyle balances that seeming necessity with the benefits of freedom.

Rasmus Lindgren guides the would be lifestyle entrepreneur through the essential steps needed to achieve both freedom and prosperity. The author provides the following overarching concepts for the lifestyle rockstar:

* The Lifestyle Lie
* The Rockstar Trifecta
* The 4S Model of Lifestyle Business Design
* Lifestyle Business Modeling
* The Next Step: Passion and Action

For me, the power of the book is how Rasmus Lindgren combines a complete overview of the rockstar lifestyle business concept, with the practical strategies and tools to makes that lifestyle a reality. The author presents his ideas in a straightforward manner that removes the guesswork. A real feature of the book is the author's honesty regarding how to start and operate the business; and what to actually expect from the business. The author is very clear that this not an overnight wealth format, but one designed to accentuate the lifestyle aspect of the business, while generating a good income.

The 4S Model is an example of that simplicity and realistic outlook. Rasmus Lindgren suggests a simple setup, starting small, scaling built in for organic growth, and secondary to the desired lifestyle. Rasmus Lindgren recommends an online business as being lifestyle friendly and one that can be developed and scaled larger over time. The goal, after all, is to achieve freedom from being tied to a clock based job, and the author offers a solid plan for doing precisely that.

I highly recommend the very practical and liberating book The Lifestyle Business Rockstar!: Quit your 9 -5, kick ass, work less, and live more by Rasmus Lindgren to any would be entrepreneurs and lifestyle rockstars who are seeking real freedom from the standard nine to five workplace. This book offers a real world proven blueprint for leaving that job behind and living a life of freedom of your own choosing.
