Everyone has the desire to make money doing what they love. However, in reality, we often earn little money doing things we don't like, or endure more hardship simply because we are doing what we love.

This book contains the culmination of techniques the author has personally experimented with and verified over more than 20 years.

In this book, we will break the 10,000-hour rule. That rule may have been true until now, but it is no longer so.
