Interesting read
This book is about 101 successful businesses and how they got started. Although it does not contain details on how to start a business, it contains lots of good ideas and lots of inspiration, two important qualities of a entrepeneur. You will enjoy reading some better known businesses like Terra Chips as well as lesser known ones like Three Dog Bakery who makes gourmet biscuits for dogs. It's amazing a dog biscuit company makes over a million dollars a year, but since this book is about young millionaires, every company profiled in this book makes over this amount.

A Source of Inspiration
This book is a real inspiration. What it is really saying is that if you have an idea that's crazy enough, that's probably your million-dollar idea. You just have to believe in it, applying both reason and faith. And you can succeed. There are certainly other books out there with more practical information, but this book can start you dreaming. So go out, rent a sailboat, put on your Duke Ellington tapes, pour yourself a glass of cranberry juice, light a cigar, take off your socks...and dream!

What a disappointment
After anxiously waiting for this book to arrive, it only took me a couple of hours to read it. The stories on each entrepeneur were too brief. It tells you how each of them came about w/ their ideas but does not at all provide any information on what exact steps they took to be successful. I was very disappointed. It was a waste of money.
