Customer Reviews

Pretty Good!

What I liked: Highly motivational, and the stories of his own experience are interesting and a good read. I'll read this book multiple times in the years to come, because there's so much information it. He writes like he has no doubt in his mind that you will be the next Entrepreneur that all the press wants to interview. What I didn't like: The author's definition (being absolute) of an entrepreneur. In his eyes, opening up a pizza shop isn't an entrepreneur, that's a small businessman. Entrepreneurs, per the author is someone with the goal of becoming a Fortune 500 company.

He's got it right

As an entrepenuer I can speak from experience that what is said in the book is correct. You are either a hunter entrepenuer or a farmer entrepenuer and a big key to success is knowing what you are. Everyone wants to think of themselves as a hunter over a boring "farmer" but in reality most hunters would love to have farmer skills... that's true in my case. I spend all my time trying to smooth over the weaknesses of my "hunter" approach and banging my head against a system that is set up to support and nurture a farmer approach... even to entrepenuership.Some of the reviews here don't cut it... they didnt get the point which is... know yourself first, then work around your strengths. This is a cornerstone work in my mind. The reference by other reviewers to the e-myth as being superior show that they love the "farmer" approach. I'd suggest they re-read FEO with a more open mind. It really is great stuff.

Fabulous, inspiring, and educational - a Must Read!

Using extraordinary anecdotes from his own life, Wilson Harrell teaches as well as story-tells. This book is one of the best on entrepreneurship and the roller-coaster life it brings. Buy it!
