I received a review of my book from Mike O’Donnell at Startupbiz.  He runs a site that has alot of good resources for start up business. I was particularly touched by what he said:

"I read your book on a flight between NYC and Seattle last night.  It kept me entertained for six hours.  I enjoyed it very much.  I think it is a good read for seasoned entrepreneurs, as much as it is for wannabes.  The seasoned entrepreneur will smile knowingly and think, "Yup, that is sooooo true."  The wannabe will probably think, "Holy shit, nothing I have read or been told in seminars suggested these kinds of challenges!"

I chuckled about the entrepreneur "tourists" you wrote about.  I met so many of them here in

Seattle

and in

Silicon Valley

(VC row) when I was raising money.  They were usually under 30, Ivy leaque grads with no practical business experience, and arrogant as hell.  I called them "entrepreneur interlopers."  A similar breed are the "Blue Bloods."  They inherited daddy’s business or come from great wealth — as if they ever had to worry about making payroll or losing everything — and are held out as great entrepreneurs — wonderful role models for the common folk to emmulate.

I also liked the advice you gave to "accidental entrepreneurs."  I believe many people will have no choice but to start a business, or BE the business.  I have seen the future of the job market in

America

and it is every woman for herself.  Put another way, when people learn how to work for themselves, they will always have a job."
