much better than expected

I thought this might be another wishy-washy go-get-it and not much else book, but it is so much more than that. it's well researched with so many case studies your head will be spinning. the messages are not new, but it gives confidence if you are seriously thinking about starting your own business

Great to hear real life examples. Recommend!

I enjoyed the book, the author done a great job with all of the different stories of people who achieved 7 figure businesses. Lots of helpful information in regards strategies used to scale or funding. On a side note some parts about health insurance for none American listeners could have benefitted in being in a separate chapter so you could skip that section easily.
