I always like to read books that boost my financial knowledge. “Additional Ways To Earn More They Don’t Teach” is an amazing book by the author Nathen Hache. Nathen has made it as his goal to build a passive income. He want his money to work for him instead he himself working for the money. Rich Dad!!

Everyone wants to make more money but only few people have the passion for it. I am passionate about it because it’s not just about money. It’s about learning that comes when we try our hands at different things. I know many people who are earning from freelancing, blogging, affiliate programs, etc in addition to earning from their 9 to 5 job.

This book includes many financial tips but as author has made the point clear that we need to look for the one that suits best according to our goal. It is a short and insightful read. I appreciate author’s research that he must have done to come up with this book. I strongly recommend this book to my followers.
