Customer Reviews

I love this book!

This book is amazing. As I was reading it I could not believe how simple it was to understand. I have read several entrepreneurial books and this is by far the most down-to-earth, easy to apply book ever. I loved how it gave me advice that I could immediately incorporate into my life and businesses. This book is a must read for any entrepreneur!

Worth reading...especially for tech businesses

Rich and Ron have great advice and definitely the experience to back it up. Could have used a little editing for smoother reading. Sometimes it gets heavy with analogies but lacks real world examples to clarify what exactly they mean. That said, it had some interesting points that I don't think would be found in any other book on business. Worth reading.

Everything you need to get started and succeed!

This book is simply the best I've read on the REAL tools you need to start a business. Look for specific tips on how to handle risk, assembling and managing a team, finding funding (or doing it on your own), and managing the up's and down's that every entrepreneur experiences. The book should be required reading at every major University business school. You will get more from this than the typical business program can equip you with. If you like work such as The Art of the Start by Kawasaki, then this will be right up your alley.
