being in silicon valley’s charged environment gets you all hyped up, and high on steroids.. this book gives you good basic grounding and lets you think things through more systematically.
It helped me channel my thinking on not only what but when, also this probably is the only book ( in a host of books that I have read on entrepreneurship as part of course material at London Business School and otherwise in last few years) that does not put you in the background, instead it makes puts you in the focus, and helps you understand yourself and your environment better, and make a good judgment on why and how to approach entrepreneurship. I feel the approach of this book is refreshing, and really good.
i highly recommend reading it…

Even though I have many years of entrepreneurship experience in different countries. Entrepreneurship requires a lot of work and efforts, and sometime I think if I want to be an entrepreneur in ten years. This book helps me to answer this question positively. I refer my co-founders and employees to this book as well.

It is pouring outside and I don’t know any more what is up or if we are down. The challenges in starting and building your own company are immense. It is good to know that others have been here before, the lessons learned and practical tips that this well and succinct written book presents to us are so valuable. I definitely recommend this book to any one who wants to start a business and the one’s that are running a business, because everyday the question is “What decision do I make” Best one is get the right advice first and this book provides some of those answers.

Mr. Gillespie-Brown’s book is very informative for prospective entrepreneurs. He accurately details the ups and downs to be expected on the path to establishing a business and the traits required to succeed. I recommend this book for those considering starting a business and I also recommend it as a reminder to current entrepreneurs of why we started in the first place. As icing on the cake, proceeds for the book go to an organization that fosters entrepreneurs abroad.
