review 1: I'm really glad I didn't pay any money for this. The book starts out promising enough, with some nice snarkiness about the curse and affliction of "real jobs." That part's fun. When the author gets to the actual advice about starting up a business, the book turns stale and uninteresting. Why? Because the advice is so pedestrian. For example, when attempting to make a difficult decision, the author advises making a list of pros and cons. Who knew? Also, when you're looking to partner with someone in your start-up, pick someone dependable and trustworthy. Gosh, I never would have figured that out.To be fair, I'm probably not the author's target audience. I'm too old. He's going after college-age folks who probably were never taught such basic common sense in high school. Tro... moreuble is, as someone stuck in a "real job," I was hoping for a bit more than that.
review 2: Fantastic kick in the pants motivational book. His advice, get off you rear and do it, start something. You don't have to plan it to death, or have bog bucks you just have to do it, make it work then make it grow. Ok, I know, duh we all know that. but do we all do it ? No, we over-plan over finance, over prepare for something before we even give it a try.I really enjoyed this in your face book. I plan on reading it again. less
