2.0 out of 5 stars So what?, December 27, 1999
By A Customer
You'll probably get a pretty good idea of the book's subject by reading the other reviews. What I would like to tell you about is the style the book's been written in.

Suppose, you're afraid of, say, flying. You're scared that the plane would crash. When you'd ask Mr. Shefsky for help, he would probably tell you something like this:

"Well, you're afraid of flying because you've heard all the terrible stories about airplane crashes with tens of people killed. Never mind, just get on that airplane. Sure, something may gone wrong with the plane. It may fall down and you may be sitting there helpless among the other panicked passengers, unable to do anything about the accident. Eventually, the plane would crash on the ground and everybody would get killed. So you're dead. What's the big deal? Don't be afraid of it."

And if you're still not convinced, he might tell you the following story:

"You know, there was a guy in New York called John Smith. He needed to get to Los Angeles, but he was afraid of flying. He got on the airplane anyway, flew to Los Angeles and nothing happened to him. Since then, he has beein flying from NY to LA and back tens of times and he never had an accident."

After that, Mr. Shefsky would start to tell you five more stories like this, but you probably wouldn't be listening to him anymore.

The book's surprisingly feeble. It delivers some useful information but most of it is pretty trivial. I mean, if you don't already know the things Mr. Shefsky is telling, then you have a very long way to go. Actually, the book's so poorly written that it doesn't even deserve to be called bad. You know, bad books are the ones that make me angry or depressed. "Entrepreneurs Are Made Not Born" didn't awake any emotions in me. It's like a casual conversation with no content, structure or purpose. After finishing the book, I just wondered if Mr. Shefsky was trying to say something.

5.0 out of 5 stars INSPIRATIONAL PAGE TURNER, December 22, 2003
By A Customer
I had put off starting my business for years, always finding good excuses. Then I read Shefsky's book and pulled it all together. Now, I am building my business and having the time of my life!!! I only wish that I had Shefsky representing me years ago!!!! A great read full of fresh insight and guided inspiration. It's a must read for anyone wishing to advance in the business world today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational reference for future entrepreneurs, June 18, 1997
By A Customer
A factual and inspirational reference for anyone who has ever considered starting their own business. Prepare to have your mind opened to different ways of thinking. By the time I read the last page, I had three solid, original ideas for starting my own company. Rob Sullivan (author) Climbing Your Way to the Bottom: Changing the Way You Approach Your Job Search
