If you are like me you probably daydream about leaving your job and starting your own business. By having your own business you can Have the freedom to make your own hours and work when you want wherever you want. Sounds perfect doesn’t it? Well you might want a little bit of reality before you go quoting Johnny Paycheck and shout, “Take this job and shove it!”
I was sent a copy of Carol Roth’s new book The Entrepreneur Equation to read and review. Carol gives the reader a no holds barred look at what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. I’m not going to lie, this book is work to read. There are exercises for you to complete to assess whether or not it is in your best interest to be an entrepreneur or to get a day job or not quit your day job. In fact quite a few times Carols states that your day job might be looking better and better.
I genuinely think that Carol wants entrepreneurs to succeed and while the book might make you a bit discouraged at taking the risk to be an entrepreneur a person who is simultaneously passionate and realistic will do the work laid out in the book and use it to become successful. This is not a get rich quick book. This is a book that will challenge you in ways that you may not have thought and because of that it is a good book to read.
Why should you even listen to Carol? Carol has an amazing background in not only helping entrepreneurs like you, but she’s helped companies raise over $1 billion in capital. She knows her stuff, which is why MSNBC, FOX Business and many other business outlets consistently feature Carol’s advice.
I believe this book should be required reading for both aspiring and existing business owners alike. I also want to make you aware of the creative pre-launch contest Carol’s put together:
