5.0 out of 5 stars Passion/Chutzpah, September 17, 2003

This review is from: Fire in the Belly: An Exploration of the Entrepreneurial Spirit (Paperback)

Yanky brings to light what all folks who have asked themselves the question "do I have what it takes to strike out on my own as an entrepreneur?" Do you have the fire in the belly? The passion in the pit (of your gut) The real guage of success is if you can make the adjustment from the security of the world of traditional 9-5 work (ladder world) to the land of freedom. Yanky's book makes you ask yourself the critical questions. I have witnessed this book's ability to change peoples lives.

I recommend it highly, and if you ever get the chance to see Yanky in person, don't pass it up you will be impacted and enlightened by the experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is Entrepreneurship for Me?, June 11, 2003

By 

A. Starling (West Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fire in the Belly: An Exploration of the Entrepreneurial Spirit (Paperback)

This book is simply wonderful! If you have ever wondered about the emotions that prompted you to want your own business, or if you feel displaced by your desire to run your own business or even if you aren't sure that owning a business is for you.....READ THIS BOOK! It will not tell you how to start a business, but for those who feel unfulfilled in their 9 to 5 it will help you learn about yourself, your needs and what's possible for your future. Not to mention that it's an easy read, it's clever and you will see all of your friends, family and coworkers within the anecdotes contained within. I loved this book. Not just for entrepreurs either!!!!
