Get this book and change your life. From the moment I started reading this book, I got ideas. I have my own business and this book was just want I needed to get me motivated again and excited about my business, my future, my dreams.

Get this book. You won't be sorry.

Those familiar with The Republic of Tea will get some real insight to the how behind the WOW of that very cool brand. While it is obvious that Gold is the one putting the witty pen to paper it is just as obvious that both Rubin and Gold want you in on their secret to business success; Avoid dream killers-Be different, Embrace design, Build buzz, Change your experience, change the experience of others, etc. This is a read which you will refer to again and again-each time learning something important and new.

Once again, a book written by the original Zentrepreneurs has crossed my desk. I was changed for the better after reading their first slim volume. And after reading their latest work, I am nothing except positive that my dreams can become real. I've taken the time to savor this book. It's street-wise, business-world savvy and just plain life-enhancing. Simply put -- this small book is wonderful. I've made it mandatory re-reading.

If you're wondering why Ron Rubin's books have such high ratings from readers on this site, I can tell you why. He "teaches" a class at St. Louis University, and in that class, he requires his students to write a review about his "books" as an assignment. I happen to know this because, unfortunately, I wasted my time taking his class. Trust me, he's even more annoying in person than he is in his bad writing. Don't waste your time reading anything this guy writes. Just as I did, you'll wish you had that time (and money) back.

As a hard core coffee drinker I wondered what a couple of guys that ran a tea company could offer someone like me, an individual who has been trying to get a commercial design firm to reach the level of success that it can. I was over taken in the very first pages of this book by its language, wit, humor and straight forward advice. This is a fast read that tells you what you need to do in order to run and market a business of any size successfully. Now that I have read the other books in the Zentrepreneur series I discovered that these books all seem to be part of an ongoing info-fest that will invoke and inspire you as they did me into doing what needs to be done without anchoring yourself with the kind of doubt and hesitation that keeps you from reaching your goals in business or in life. Time spent reading this book is time well spent.

For 2 years I attended countless seminars and read many books searching for guidance and information that could help me grow my business. Dragon Spirit is the book that let in the light that I had been looking for. In a unique one on one style, I felt that the authors were talking directly to me offering the type of advice that anyone wishing to succeed with an enterprise should pay serious attention to. I did and it changed the way my company does business and had an immediate effect on the way our customers viewed our services and the way we viewed ourselves. If you have a business or if you are trying to start one, this book can make the difference you've been looking for.

If you have a business or are in the process of starting one or if you have been on the fence needing just the right push to get you on your way to undertake your dream, this is a must read book which guides and gives authentic steps on how to create and market a suceessful enterprise.

It's not so complicated after all... check this bookout and see what I mean. I enjoyed the time with the authors and the subject.

Against rewriting the same book and repackaging it with a new title. The guys are hacks who keep spewing the same think positive message only they've coupled it with new age mumbo jumbo. Cmon Ron, you sell tea, it ain't some surreal experience. If you read enough reviews about his books you'll find out that his students are required to reveiew all of his books and give good ratings...how else could this repackaged garbage keep getting 5 stars?
