Nice reading for a motivation seeker

Building a business is a nice book, not a must to read, just to see what a simple men can do when they believe in their success.The bad side of the story is that it is not the Jim Walker story, because you do not even learn about his marriage, if or if not his marriage was good or suffered from his work, even not if there are children and so on.Anyway, a nice book that leaves you with some more confidence in the still possible American Dream.Dr. Rudolf C.
