5.0�toiles sur 5 I thought Barry had been following me around when I read it, Mai 20 2004

Par	Michael Neely (North Palm Beach, FL) - Voir tous mes commentaires

As the volunteer coordinator for Fast Company magazine's Entrepreneurship and Small Business SIG and after 13 years of entrepreneurial experience of my own, I can definitely say that this book is a must-read. If you have any desire to start or own your own business, Barry teaches critical entrepreneurial ropes and unleashes a lot of business wisdom. If you get a chance, catch him live....he's awesome!

5.0�toiles sur 5 Barry Moltz Hits the Nail on the Head, Mai 13 2004

Par	John Cooper (Austin, TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I first met Barry Moltz, the "Bill Cosby" of the Entrepreneur circuit, when he spoke at a conference on angel investing and entrepreneurs. As a long-time frustrated closet entrepreneur myself, who "jumped" nine-months ago, I found Barry's commentary on this lifestyle dead on and so I bought the book. This book has proven to be the most honest, insightful business book of the multitude of business tomes I have on my bookshelves.

It's at once painful and fulfilling to read about what has become my life, right there in the pages of Barry's book. Barry captures the paradox and contradictions of being your own boss: at once free to do whatever you want and so busy that you can't seem to get anything done.

The irony is that reading this book has in fact convinced me that I'm not crazy, because Barry documents as only a veteran can the common experience of a creative independent business starter. I'm realizing as I read that I'm not stupid / a failure / insane / a leper...I'm just trying to do what everyone says can't be done and this is what it feels like to have a vision and live it. Barry has given me strength to carry on and I'll reread this book, again and again.

My advice to entrepreneurs is to throw out all those Ten Steps to Success books, read this one, reread it, and keep on (...).

5.0�toiles sur 5 A Refreshing Look at Startups, Mai 12 2004

Par	Craig L. Howe "The Pointed Pundit" (Darien, CT United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This book's title says it all. You have to be nuts to start a business.

Barry Moltz presents a refreshing, realistic and candid look at entrepreneurial success. H realistic advice goes beyond mission statements and branding. Instead he focuses on psychological issues. His years of experience had led him to the conclusion that two elements play an enormous role in a startup's cusses: luck and timing.

Most startups do not sell people anything, he says. Rather, they positioned themselves to supply a need when the customers are ready to buy. As an entrepreneur you have to learn to accept what is beyond your control. This translates into celebrating your victories and learning to navigate your failures.

This book is a thoughtful look at entrepreneurialism. It draws a clear distinction between liking a business space and knowing how to run a business. Some may say doing what you love is the path to riches. Moltz would disagree. Not every hobby, he warns, should be pursued as a livelihood.
