A year ago, I was so ignorant that I did not even know how to copy-and-paste. I did not know what net income and gross profit were or what a profit cycle meant. BUT...

My spirit kept leading me to the world of business. I wanted to be in it so much and I didn’t know how. Yet, it did not matter. One of the cardinal things that I have learned from all my experiences: once you have the courage and the right drive, you are halfway to your dreams.

At first, I just dreamed of becoming a businessperson. I strived hard, and by reading LOTS and lots of business books, like Zero to One, The One Minute Manager, Cashflow Quadrant, Unfair Advantage, and more, I received epiphany after epiphany. Now, my dreams are a reality. Now, I am in the arena.

Only ONE YEAR later, I have established a profitable business and I have provided opportunities to many people, who are now working for me.

Sometimes, I look back and connect the dots of my past to those of my present. I have accomplished what I used to think was impossible to reach. And that never fails to amaze me. Who would have thought that reading these books could change my life? Books, indeed, are one of the most powerful things a man can hold.

I AM SO LUCKY to realise that soon enough. I was only dreaming many years before, until a year ago.

For my reader, I wish you greater success than I have ever had, in even less time. I wish for Epiphany Printing to open your eyes and mind, and fortify your will and spirit, so that you, too, can see how abundant the world is…

So that you, too, can see the opportunities that you never thought existed and realize that they are right there, next to you.

Through my writings, let your spirit wake up. Be who you want to be. You are so lucky. You always have been. Keep thinking that, and you will get luckier. :)

Pretty interesting subject, well written. The writer mostly stays away from "adoration of Musk" but there are a few sections where it feels like he is writing PR vs an objective book. Overall worth the time invested to read.

I'm fascinated by Elon Musk's ambition and vision and this book, while it portrayed Musk as eccentric, prickly, and odd, certainly increased my fascination and respect. The breadth of his dreams for Tesla, SolarCity, and Spacex is amazing, and it gives me hope that technology has the potential for solving many of our problems. It was fun to watch the successful launch of the Falcon 9 rocket with a payload of ten Iridium satellites on the very day I finished the book.

This is a terrible "book". It appears to be self published by a 10 year old with a very poor grasp of English. The structure is poor and the content is laughable. About 30% of the text is randomly bolded. Elon's Wikipedia entry is probably better written, more interesting and longer.
