Easy read with invaluable advice
As trite as this may sound, Lieber's book is truly a must-read for anyone thinking about starting their own business. One of the most important things that Upstart Startups imparts upon its readers is the notion that setbacks are inevitable. As an individual who is trying to open up health clubs in rural areas, I can attest to this fact. I have learned a great deal from the experiences and advice related by the subjects of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in entrepreneurship.

Simply Fantastic
I really loved this book -- I consider myself somewhat of an entrepreneur, and this book gives people a no BS approach with respect to what it takes to start your own business. I've read a lot of "get rich" entrepreneurial books that deceive readers and provide almost no valuable information about what it means to start a business, and most importantly, to maintain that business.
I think the author here has broken some new ground with this book. Lieber chose some great, rising stars in the business world to discuss their insights about entrepreneurship, and the perspectives (as new entrepreneurs)they offer ought to be heeded by whomever reads this kick ass book.

Gives you motivation and encouragement, but falls short...
The stories about these entrepreneurs give you quite a bit of motivation and encouragement. But the book falls short in terms of knowedge about how to run a business. The author focuses on the people's expiriences throughout the book -- but does show specifics on how they became successful. But since I got it really cheap using a coupon from UnderTag.com, I can't really complain. Similar Products
