Hanging Out for a Living

Tyler Cirella is having a bad day, a really bad day. This morning his wife, Karen, threatened to leave him for foolishly investing in, yet another, network-marketing business opportunity. His boss gave him notice that he has thirty days to turn his sales numbers around, or he's out of a job. The crippling migraine headaches that have plagued him for over two years are getting worse. And, on top of his crushing financial troubles, he's found himself on the hook for a Moroccan teapot that he accidently damaged at a local teashop.

In a quiet moment of desperation Tyler reminisces about a happier time in his life, his high school days, when his after school pastime was hanging out with his friends. "I wish there was a way to make money by hanging out. I wish I could hang out for a living," he says to himself-or so he thinks. In that moment Tyler encounters a most unlikely mentor, Oscar, a rotund, twenty-five-hundred-year-old Babylonian who resides in the teapot.

Oscar offers to teach Tyler how to hang out for a living using a simple formula for building financially productive business relationships, provided he follows a key precept; that it's only possible to hang out for a living by doing so in service to others.

So begins Hanging Out for a Living, an utterly unique and captivating business novel of spiritual adventure that has captured the imaginations of novice entrepreneurs and seasoned business professionals alike.
