The secret to earning a six-figure income without having to work your butt off When you think about living your dream life, what comes to mind? Does it include spending most of your waking hours in front of a computer, answering emails from your demanding boss and only living it up on weekends? Or does it consist of owning your own time, pursuing things you're passionate about, and still earning more than enough to indulge in your favorite activities? Unless you're certifiably insane, you definitely answered the latter. Who wouldn't want to get away from the drudgery of employee life and become the boss of their own life? There's safety and comfort in knowing you'll receive a fixed amount of money every month, regardless of how much your employer earns. But this also means that you won't get paid any more than your fixed salary, and the majority of your week belongs to the company. Why not explore something different, something that gets you closer to achieving the life of your dreams? Like starting your own business. One of the most ideal businesses for those who are just starting out is Airbnb hosting. With insider knowledge from a successful long-time Airbnb host, you can skip over the trial and error and go directly into doing what works.

A look deep inside the new Silicon Valley, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Everything Store. Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or a walking into a stranger's home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today it's as common as ordering a book online. Uber and Airbnb have ushered in a new era: redefining neighborhoods, challenging the way governments regulate business, and changing the way we travel. In the spirit of iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, another generation of entrepreneurs is using technology to upend convention and disrupt entire industries. These are the upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Led by such visionaries as Travis Kalanick of Uber and Brian Chesky of Airbnb, they are rewriting the rules of business and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process. The Upstarts is the definitive story of two new titans of business and a dawning age of tenacity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone's riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we discover how it all happened and what it took to change the world.
