I'm not a business person. In fact I'm the opposite of that right now -- a stay-at-home mom. I was skeptical of this book when it was recommended to me because I don't need to "double my income" (twice of nothing is still nothing!) After reading it I see that it is a practical resource for readjusting my focus and my attitude. I am interested in regaining purpose in my day-to-day life. This book really helps with that.
Who knows,someday I will be back in the money-making game and this book will have a place in that life too. For now, it's helped me clear away some fog that comes with my job description. I'm much happier and focused on getting things done (like laundry... don't laugh, but sometimes you just have to get that stuff done!) It has cleared some cobwebs and allowed me to make the most of each day with my husband, kids, house, everything. There is a lot to learn here. I will be re-reading this book.

Just because stay-at-home mom work isn't monetized doesn't mean you can't "double your income." The "income" may not be in the form of cash money, but there must be some benefit to being a stay-at-home mom, or nobody would choose to do it. Whatever that benefit may be - having a well-managed house, keeping your kids out of jail, cutting costs and waste, etc. - getting those benefits more efficiently, more reliably, or in greater volume would probably follow the same rules of success that apply to everything humans try to accomplish.In the world of business, the tangible reward of money makes it easier to keep score, and the near-universal emotion of human greed assures a steady market for books like this. But people in almost any field of endeavor, including the non-monetized ones such as homemaking, volunteer work, campaigning for social change, etc., are playing by most of the same rules.
For example, almost no matter what you try to do, you can probably do it better by improving your skills (Chapter 10). Often that means reading 50 books per year about whatever you are doing.
