Summary: Lots of Practical Advice
Review: This book is one of the very few books out there that tells what it is really like to be an entrepreneur. It is well organized, full of pracitcal advice, and completely honest. Other books tend to focus on academic issues and treat the whole start up process as if you have lots of capital or assumed that you have an entire marketing team doing research for you. The reality is of course entirely different and this book tells you that very reality. This book is ideal for those who need someone to point out a lot of the risks involved in starting a business.

If you want to know the truth of what starting and running a business really involves, read it - Barry Moltz doesn't pull any punches in his painfully true account.

Either way, you'll ultimately be inspired to follow your dreams.

Summary: A Refreshing Look at Startups
Review: 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.

Summary: Still alive and crazy
Review: Wonderful book that will let all entrepreneurs know that the symptoms of entrepreneurship are not unique to the individual. A very good look at the road ahead from someone who has obviously been there for the good times and bad. The most level headed and practical guide to what is and what can be in a start up environment. Thank you Barry!!
