I found this book extremely inspiring. Although it does not go into great depth, the book offers insight into where to search for a new idea by showing many different case studies. The enthusiasm of the entrepreneurs filled me with energy and motivation to take this path.

It is said that the best business ideas are the simplest ones and this book is absolute proof. Every chapter makes you want to hit your head against a brick wall and say now why didn't I think of that? (and make my millions). This book is addictive, brilliant and unputdownable. Give it to everyone you know who is stuck in a dead end job and watch them weep. Inspiring stuff.

No business is up and running without any issues/problems. This book is inspiring but maybe too inspiring and not realistic. The best reads are always the ones which tell the full story how it is. For example Richard Branson & Duncan Bannatyne do this really well.

I am cynical when it comes to business books, finding them too big and cumbersome but Rachel Bridge has entered the market with something new and refreshing.

I like her writing style and the case studies in both books are easily digestible. This is a "certainly recommend" to anyone who is thinking of starting a business or has ambitions for their own company growth.

Good job, Rachel!

I really loved this book and totally disagree with Avid Reader's comments. Was he even reading the same book? He complains that the author Rachel Bridge has glossed over the entrepreneurs challenges and problems but in fact every chapter is full of them. They are what make the stories so real. She tells the entrepreneurs stories in a very balanced way without hype or exageration with all the highs and lows laid bare and I think including any more detail would be tedious to read. Every one of these stories are brilliantly inspiring and I can't recommend it highly enough for any would be entrepreneur
