5.0 out of 5 stars This book may also work its inspirational magic on you!, Jun 15 2007
By A. Zee "Dark Energy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trump University Entrepreneurship 101: How to Turn Your Idea into a Money Machine (Hardcover)
Gordon's Entrepreneurship 101 is one of the best books I've ever read! This all-in-one business book ranges from the entrepreneur's mindset to the actions taken. It develops a series of unique frameworks, models, and tips for essential entrepreneurial "thriving forces," the forces that not only lead the entrepreneurs to be successful, but also shape their business to be promising. Through a systematic approach and interactive learning model professionally designed by the author, the book enriched me more solid skills of HOW to turn our idea into a money machine that produces sustainable long-term profit more easily. Another feature of this book I particularly like is that the various analysis tools briefed in charts and exhibits can be downloaded from the website for our personal use.

I also appreciate the writing style in clear and direct presentation, which sort of exposed me to quick digesting, to quick absorbing, to quick thinking, to quick acting, and to quick changing. The best part of this book is the "Action" section at the end of each chapter. After getting the entrepreneur's mindset and being trained to think and act like an entrepreneur, you can't wait to take actions to be a real, ambitious and successful entrepreneur!

I highly recommend this book to all my friends, business partners and the people who are reading my review: don't miss this book; this book may also work its inspirational magic on you! As a venture capitalist, I can confirm with you that the people who possess the spirit of Entrepreneurship 101 are our investment targets!

5.0 out of 5 stars Passion to live entrepreneurship, Jan 15 2007
By Ingrid Cohen "ohm it" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trump University Entrepreneurship 101: How to Turn Your Idea into a Money Machine (Hardcover)
Having studied Chemistry (and even after earning a PhD from MIT), Gordon realized that he also had two very strong passions, teaching and entrepreneurship. Where many would have given up, Gordon was pushed to reach the goals he had dreampt. From here, the reader can only hold on as he helps others realize what it is to actualize a dream, whatever it may be,and however large it may be.

Gordon takes the reader through a true journey of his own experiences with entreprenuership and it is through this magical journey that one can truly understand what it is to be an entrepreur. You read about mistakes, sucesses, suggestions, advice, tips, and what spoke to me louder, someone's own travel down their own road to find personal passion.

This guy knows what he's talking about and knows how to write. There is no question that he's passionate about what he writes, nor that you will be a better businessperson having read this book. It's a quick read that you'll want to save forever because of all the notes and tips you'll have as reference.

The book was a gift--as I don't really read Trump.

A great read for yourself and for the entrepreneur at heart in your life.

If you ever thought of starting your own business and wanted to test, develop and launch your idea against a variety of practical and proven market scenarios, Michael E. Gordon's Entreprenuership 101 positions you for stellar success.

Crafted in an engaging and illuminating literary style, Gordon's book and the man himself, walks the talk!

What exactly is a real opportunity and how do you know if you've got one? Read the book, understand Gordon's customer model and get ready for the ride of your life! This is truly a life-changing handbook for anyone with even the slightest inclination towards entreprenuerial freedom.
