Here, $29: https://www.amazon.com/Authority-Become-Following-Financial-... I read it in 2013, and it's probably earned me at least $100,000. That's being veeeery conservative. Not everyone will have that experience, of course. I had an existing book series, and Authority gave me an idea for how to repurpose it into a larger business. As for the package on his site: he probably wants to avoid support. You get a lot of…

Heh, I found your comment from 2013: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5746020

I ordered the book on Amazon after reading your and a few others' comments.

I'm also interested in the 90 day plan. Unfortunately, it is only available through the $299 package, which I don't feel comfortable paying for.

In your position, I'd get the book, read it, evaluate, and then consider whether to get the larger package.

Basically, if it seems likely to lead to a profitable idea, then $299 is trivial. If it doesn't, then just the book will be fine.

For me, it was clear from reading the book that I had an idea I should pursue. You'll probably either get that from the book, or not. If you do have something to launch, then you'll have a better idea if the rest of the package is worth it.

Reviews are pretty mixed on Good Reads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18070394-authority

Check out the reviews on Amazon as well: https://www.amazon.com/Authority-Become-Following-Financial-...

Some of those reviews don't pass the smell test
