Review

Fabulous Book! A bold "MUST HAVE" for any entrepreneur!, February 25, 1999 by a customer I read this book for the first time in December, and couldn't put it down. I re-read it in January and it still radiated the same amount of zeal! Michael Glauser is brilliant! His ideas are sound and his thoughts concise. This book ranks right up there with "The Greatest Salesman in the World" and "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People!" No one--self-employed or not--should be without this marvelous book. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Successful entrepreneurs must always scramble., October 18, 1998

"Successful entrepreneurs go to the right place at the right time" is one of the main points M. Glauser makes in his book GLORIOUS ACCIDENTS. After spending three years interviewing entrepreneurs, Glauser has sifted through the information and gleaned ten steps to help anyone starting their own business. Before you start your own company, Glauser will teach you about knowing the terrain, finding a mentor and radiating zeal. M. Glauser has seven additional points, so read the book. I would first read GLORIOUS ACCIDENTS before becoming an entrepreneur.

First, I have to confess, I am in the book! But, throughout my crazy trip into the business world, I didn't meet too many other entrepreneurs, mostly people that thought I was nuts! In this book, I read about other business peole and the amazing journey they took to reach success, plus excellent advice that would have comforted me and helped me SO much as I was starting my business.
