I don't need a social commentary (complete with excessive cussing). Honestly, I just want to learn about entrepreneurship. He even starts backlashing about fat-shaming. I love the author's "let's get it done" philosophy, but later on in the book it just feels like a rant. Is there anything you would change about this book?Ībsolutely. The three stars rating is basically just for the business part, all other chapters are just a mix of humor and bad-wording the “scripted” mentality He endorses saving and changing the way we should view money and offers ways to invest in stocks and bonds and how to split our money. Finally, and here’s the strange part, the author starts giving the same personal finance advice that he waged war against those who gave it to their readers. Fine again, then he spend some chapters giving advice about how to find the perfect business and how to manage it, which was the best part pf the book. Fine, then he start an unnecessary war against personal finance authors by making fun of their basics: saving, changing the way to view money, alter the bad money-management behavior, investing, giving more getting.etc. He started with a good (known) fact that our lives are scripted and I promise to unscript it for you. The author introduced a good material but contradict himself several times. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. While I have been an Internet entrepreneur since the old "you've got mail" AOL days, I have never been funded by venture capitalists, I have never had a payroll with more than five people on it, and I have never studied computer science at school.ĭespite this, I am able to create profitable businesses that create the type of unscripted life described above. You won't read about me over at Tech Crunch or in some Silicon Valley newsletter. While I have been entrepreneur most of my life, I am no one special. I am here to tell you, that none of it is true. Someone with a certain college degree, a certain amount of VC funding, or a certain contact list of connected friends from Stanford. Unfortunately, you have been scripted to believe that such a life is out of your reach, or only possible for a certain type of person. Better, you won't need five tedious decades of thankless jobs, buzz killing frugality, and patient investing with our trusted friends on Wall Street. And in a few short years, it can be yours as well. I know, because it has been mine for nearly 20 years. It is a crazy expensive car parked in your garage, a victorious symbol that your dreams no longer sleep in fantasies, but are awake with reality. It is making more money before breakfast than you made for an entire week at your last job. No claims on the day's time other than what you choose.
You live in your dream house, but there's no mortgage.
