This book has been a good read for me as a hopeful entrepreneur who hasn't done much yet. It has fired me up to turn ideas in my head, and has given me hope that starting small is not an issue, that many have had to do the same and succeeded. The advice the book gives is from experience, so it has helped me keep it grounded, realizing that it isn't a ride into the sunset from the get-go and that problems will invariably go. Now, slow it may be, I am ready to set sail, and hopeful because of this book.
