The book does not disappoint and is true to it's title - in fact,
right from the inside cover the book stakes it's claim as a
no-nonsense slap upside your head read taking a swipe other books
and authors asking you to "visualizing yourself rich" - the book
takes a brutally honest approach providing the steps, intensity and
no B.S. approach necessary to obtaining all goals
Mr. O'Leary documents the valuable lessons he learned, sometimes
humiliating, that made him take responsibility for his own actions
in creating a four billion dollar business out of a $10,000.00
investment, working out of his basement - Mr. O'Leary was able to
create his own luck and all success was well earned, surprisingly
while suffering from dyslexia
Through the many great lessons provided you can easily avoid many
of the pitfalls many entrepreneurs encounter - I believe this book
is a must read for all students and most importantly those
protestors taking part in the current occupy movement on Wall
Street and other cities - if these folks had any idea of the amount
of hard work and sacrifice, including time away from family, to
become the 1% they rally against they would appreciate and perhaps
be inspired to follow such a path - they can then make a real
difference towards society or the 99% they claim to represent
I give this book my highest review - thank you Mr. O'Leary for for
an excellent read, a book that that Ayn Rand would thoroughly enjoy
In closing, here is a my favorite quote: "Capitalism creates
freedom, after all, and I can't think of a loftier, more important
calling than that."
