Both informative and inspiring. Better editing would have helped, however, as the writing in some places and the tone in general sometimes make it feel like I'm reading an article off a college paper. The Business Lessons box at the end of each article summarizes the business ideas well, but is probably unnecessary.
Despite the somewhat sophomoric feel of some of the articles, it's still a good book--laden information and bits of wisdom--that won't hurt to own (it's inexpensive!) and to have sitting on your shelf so you can go back to it from time to time for ideas or inspiration.
I enjoyed reading this book. I didn't want to put it down but I just have to because of schoolwork but now I am done. Check the site: http://www.gonegosyo.net/media_releas...
It is now the bestseller non-fiction at national bookstore. It is filled with inspiring stories of people who started from scratch but eventually became millionaires and billionaires. Highly recommended to people who want to enter business. This book encourages us not just stay as employee... but employ and start your own company. I would... someday, and one of the main reasons would be this book which taught me to believe that I can.
Very good, inspiring, motivating and encouraging! It can also help aspiring business owners to keep believing in their dreams, especially when you read about those who made it big in the business that came from humble beginnings...
This book truly inspires. No one could defeat an entrepreneur when money is the issue.. As what Henry Sy's mentioned, "If you can't invent, REINVENT".. & "Opportunities is where you find it, NOT where it finds you".. How encouraging..
A great book. Truly inspiring. Sadly, took me so long to finish it because I didn't like the writing style of some of its writers/contributors/authors.
