P & S C.: Great book that should be read by anyone starting a business. The methods outlined in here will save you years of stagnation and anguish. I am 49 years old and have been an Entrepreneur my entire life. Had I had this book and implemented the advice from the beginning, I can definitively say that my business would have looked very different, in a much better way, than it does today. Good thing I am a believer in "It's never too late to start a good habit". Otherwise I may be beating the crap out of myself for all of the things I had done wrong to this point. Unfortunately for me, much of what is written in this book are lessons I learned the hard way. But that is also the beauty of the book, Darren has done the same thing. But, as an added bonus, he has had some incredible mentors and he has been a fastidious student who took miles of notes. From that, Mr. Hardy is now sharing what he learned from his own trials and from 100's of the worlds most successful people, with us.

David R. Martin: "The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster" likens becoming an entrepreneur with the various stages of a roller coaster ride. The ups and downs, and the twist and turns. But most of all, the process of overcoming our own fears!

Why should you invest time and money in the book?

Perhaps the the author summed it up best when he wrote in the epilogue:

"That Saturday morning breakfast turned into lunch and before we knew it, it was almost happy hour when Mike finally let out a sigh.

" 'Man. I just wish I would’ve recorded this or something. I know a few guys who could use this dose of perspective. And even more they need someone to say to them what you just said to me….' He stopped as an unexpected lump got caught in his throat.

"And that’s when I knew.

"That’s when I knew this book had to be written.

"...—to tell the whole story, to let you know that the crazy ups and downs you’re experiencing (or will experience) are normal, and that you have what it takes. That’s the main reason I labored to write this book."

Thank you Darren Hardy for writing this book for Mike and all the other entrepreneurs pondering what to expect, and...

Terry R. Minion: It seems silly to write a review about a book that I just purchased and am only in the middle of Chapter two of. So why write one? Because if I stopped reading right this minute and never read any more of this book, it would have been worth the money to buy it and the effort to read this far.

As an entrepreneur myself, I can relate to all I've read this far. I applaud Darren Hardy for having the passion, and taking the time and energy that it took to write this masterpiece. I can't wait to read more, yet already, I would love to share this book with the entire world.

I also have to say that I absolutely love how he writes. It is funny, thorough, insightful, enthusiastic, passionate, and straight forward all at the same time. He writes from his own experiences, and that of being the publisher of Success Magazine and having interviewed a cadre of successful entrepreneurs in a wide variety of fields.

And, this book is not just a book. It is a an adventure. It is a road map, It is a resource. It is a master plan. It is a mentor. This is a complete package, well researched and compiled, with all manner of helps and loads of encouragement.

If you've ever...

John Hinds: Darren Hardy has done a masterful job in presenting the key the concepts it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur. I found this book to be entertaining and insightful. I enjoyed the autobiographical nature of this book because at adds credibility to his message. From Darren earning $150,000 in a year..when he was all of 18 years young to some of the poor hiring decisions he has made throughout his career, he lays it all out on the table for the reader!

I also appreciated the insights he gleaned from the many super successful businessman he's interviewed. I thought those excerpts further reinforced his message. You will recognize some of those names immediately but others aren't as well known. Some of the most compelling quotes came from those successful business people who aren't readily recognizable by the general public.

One key concept that I'm glad he brought up was the idea of practice. For those of you who have read Outliers, that's not a new concept. However, Darren brought up the concept of practice in a dialogue he had with someone who set a goal of reading 32 books. On the surface that sounds like a great goal but Darren gave the person some great advice when...
