The author states "this book serves anyone who has ever had an idea, but has not taken action in it. Furthermore he says his goal is to inspire action. Well for me this book ticked both these boxes so it was worth the money I paid. Some of the interviews were very interesting, with some great advice given on how someone can do what they do and be an entrepenuer.

That said, there were some parts I didn't like. I understand they're just plugging their own business and are no doubt experts in their field, but some humility wouldn't have gone astray. Sharing with us what books etc they drew upon to help them start would've been more important. Maybe if the interviews had of been shuffled in a different order it wouldn't stand out as much.

That said, stick with the book as the interviews get better. This may not even bother you. I questioned these inclusions, as these entrepreneurs may never make it. Will they be successful? I wanted to read about those that are successful so I can draw on their knowledge and proven ability. Furthermore, the author was a little light on with just how successful some of the other businesses mentioned were i.

I wanted to be know how they are successful? Have they made a lot of money, if so provide details. I felt this took the shine off an otherwise good book.
