The Naked Truth

I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I first glanced at this book --What could a fitness guru teach me about business? But when I actually started reading, I was not only pleasantly surprised, I was truly inspired. Jake Steinfeld is a master story teller and he is not afraid to reveal EVERYTHING he's learned about business--the good, the bad and even the embarrassing! Jake's honesty and humor is reason enough to buy this book! It's obvious Jake knows what he's talking about--You don't remain on top for as long as Jake has without knowing a thing or two about people, business and making smart decisions. The guy has made me a believer...and that's saying a lot!

I've Seen A Lot Of Famous People Naked, And They've Got Nothing On You!

So many professional help books today are written without practical "real world" experience. Jake Steinfeld's book, "I've Seen A Lot Of Famous People Naked, And They've Got Nothing On You!", is a genuinely heartfelt account of a truly entrepreneurial guy who has an extraordinarily intuitive sense about business and achieving one's potential. His ability to communicate the balance between personal and professional disciplines is particularly meaningful. This is a realistic and valuable read for anyone starting or growing a business in today's highly competitive environment.

I can Finally quit my day job!

I recently saw Jake on "Fox and Friends" when I was getting dressed for work--a job that I hated by the way! And everything he was saying rang true for me. Why was I wasting up all my creative energy and passion on a job that was literally sucking the energy right out of me? I went out that day and bought his new book, "I've Seen A Lot of Famous People Naked, and They've Got Nothing on You!". I felt like he was taking directly to me! The thing is that I have always had this idea of a business I wanted to start but just has never had the courage to follow through... but after reading this book, I'm not afraid anymore. The funny thing is, once I made the decision to just do it-- everything has fallen into place! I May not win the contest he talked about on the show--but it doesn't matter, because I'm already so far ahead of the game...and I'm never looking back!
