This book is a MUST READ for anyone daring to embark on an entrepreneurial journey.  If you are skeptical at all by the title and think it is a "get rich quick scheme," you are sadly mistaking.  MJ DeMarco really addresses every important detail of embracing the process of success, not just the events.  I've actually come across this book many times while looking for an ebook to purchase from Amazon.  My only regret about owning this book is not owning it soon enough!  I definitely see myself reading this again in the future for a point of reference.  Let my review be the last one you read about this book; hurry up and buy it!

The takeaways at the end of each chapter are very helpful. A must read for anyone considering this journey.

Amazing book! It truly takes you into the life of an entrepreneur, all the craziness, emotional roller coasters, people and investor issues. The highs of doing something ground breaking, and the lows of not having the capital, team or execution to pull it off. Most interesting is the fact the book was written while it was all happening in real time rather than a reflection on what happened (often skewed and only highlighting the best parts). As an entrepreneur, I found the book enlightening as it tells the true story of what actually goes on behind the gilded curtains of 99% of startups. Though it's title might slightly give away the outcome, the book keeps you on your seat as you read wishfully hoping one of the many opportunities and/or lucky breaks will be the catalyst to rocket ship growth.

If you're an entrepreneur, want to be an entrepreneur, are interested in entrepreneurship, or simply looking for an entertaining read that will take you on an emotional roller coaster...read this book!

Awesome read! This is a great book that doesn't just give XYZ things to do as an entrepreneur and business owner - the individuals in this book give very practical and very specific examples, stories and lessons learned from their journeys. One of the authors, Davide Di Giorgio, made an interesting point of the importance of speaking about yourself and your business. If I am proud and passionate about what I do and what my business offers, I would have the courage to talk about it "apologetically" with everyone. Thank you to all the authors in this book. Whether you are thinking about starting a business or have owned a business for years, I fully recommend picking up a copy.

Great book!  Having seen how Tyler and Dan started and what they have accomplished, I deeply enjoyed the book, and consider it a must for anyone willing to start a cool business and generate a social impact.  As an Ecuadorian I learned the real meaning of Runa, which is completely misunderstood in my own country, and learning it from someone as humble and sincere as Tyler means a lot.  As an entrepreneur, it's always nice to relate to and learn from experiences that other entrepreneurs have gone through.  I wish I could have read this book 10 years ago...

It offers motivational anecdotes, quotes, and eye-opening facts that will dispel common myths and your own doubts and uncertainties about taking your life and professional future in your own hands. The author walks you through each phase, step by step, and becomes, in a sense, your virtual mentor. I would recommend this book to everyone...not just those looking to be entrepreneurs, but anyone who thinks of improving their lives and situations. Amazing book!

I've been an entrepreneur for the past 4 years now. There is a lot I'm this book that succinctly states what many of us feel and go through daily. There are a lot of amazing lessons in this book from a person who has been there and lived the life we live. I would highly recommend his book to anyone. Not just entrepreneurs to learn lessons and validate their struggles and see that they aren't alone, but to people who know entrepreneurs or are considering doing it themselves. His type of insight and explanation will help you more easily navigate what may come in startup life.

I enjoyed reading So, What Do  You Do, Vol. 2  very much because I found it to be one of those books that you just cannot put down due to all of the interesting entrepreneurs presented in it.  There are 39 business owners who are a part of a community known as NAMS, Novice-To-Advanced Marketing System, whereby each person tells their story from how their life first began, the hardships they encountered, their accomplishments, and what they have learned over the years.  They all started out with very little and managed to become very successful!

There is such a wide variety of talent from these individuals and I found that I definitely connected on a deep level with them as they shared their journeys.

Each and every entrepreneur share some of their best gems as to what made them so successful in their life and what we can watch out for along our own journey!  These gems are gifts and I wrote them all down so that I can follow them.

What I also like about this book is that each entrepreneur extensively lists how you can get in contact with him/her so that you can get assistance with your own business.

Because of the struggles each entrepreneur went through and how they overcame their adversity was the key for me which kept me reading until the end!

The other great aspect about this book is that it is extremely motivational and the reason why I mention this is because we ALL have bad days or times in our lives but, this is a book that you definitely want to take out of your book shelf once a month to pep you up or if you feel like you're in a rut in your life or your current business.  This book has the ability to pull you out of your slump and get you moving forward again.

My biggest takeaways are to surround yourself with positive people ONLY and stop listening to the negative people or negative voices in your head.  As well, NEVER stop dreaming about your goals, never give up on yourself or your dreams, make an action plan and follow it.

This is a must read book for any entrepreneur, executive or business owner who is looking to rapidly improve the performance of their business. Shawn highlights just how powerful empowerment can be and why it will be the differentiating factor between businesses that are profitable, and those that arent. If you are seeking a step by step guide to higher levels of business performance, this book is a must read.

I highly recommend this book to ANY entrepreneur who either 1) thinks he/she knows everything, or 2) knows he/she doesn't know everything but is afraid to ask, or 3) knows that learning is a never-ending process.

Dave Duryee knows how to talk business in a way that makes sense - and can improve your bottom line. I literally found it hard to put this book down since I found it easy to read, easy to understand and, most importantly, easy to implement in my own company. And now I can take the concepts I've learned and teach them to my employees.

Do yourself a favor and buy this book - it truly is worth the investment.

This book is a must read for everyone, not just those looking to be successful in business although it will definitely have that effect. Dr. Dewhurst manages to take ideas and concepts for success and breaks them down in a way that is both easy to understand and implement. This is one book you will never regret buying and I am looking forward to Dr. Dewhurst's next book!
