Short summary:
This book can be divided into two parts.
For the first part, it is an motivational read for those who are tired of the routine 9-5 and are itching to start their own business. Concept, motivation and plenty of success stories, this book gives those with the entrepreneur dream plenty of encouragement and provides the rest of us enough information to fuel our next day dream.
The second part of the book is more technical and tactical. General advice and guidance on how to go about your business, should you actually choose to start one. With that being said, the second part with it's nitty gritty argument, could be boring for us who aren't actually starting a business, especially when you don't agree with all of the suggestions put forth by the author.
