Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This book started with a video that surprised everyone - including me.Viral videos are like tornadoes. They are not planned as much as they simply happen with colossal and exciting effect when the conditions are right.  In mid-October 2015 I wanted to communicate a message about entrepreneurs and decided to create a video titled "The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Seconds" You can see that video here:

patrickbetdavid.com/life-entrepreneur-90-seconds/ 

The original intent was to share a compelling and emotional glimpse into the story behind the average entrepreneur. Many people see the end product and have no idea what it takes to get there. These people have not been exposed to the process and it's a life that some people probably don't want to see because it's messy - yet also very rewarding.
Roughly an hour after posting the video on Facebook, it had gone over 50,000 views.  The next morning, it had crossed over 2,000,000 views, and just hours later it was deep into the millions, and I knew it was viral. By the end of the weekend it had hit 15,000,000 and today, in mid-2016, it has amassed over 27,000,000 views and it is still viewed thousands of times each day.
Why did such a simple video receive such an overwhelming response?There are many reasons - but the best answer seems to be that the video captured the simple truth and wrapped it in an emotional story in which everyone can relate. We all know failure. We all understand challenges. We all have experienced some little victories in life here-n-there even if our life has had its share of tragedies and isn't much to talk about at the moment. Everyone seemed to'get' the video in some way from some angle even if it was an deep yearning covered in tears from inside themselves that merely cried out, "Someday..."

Along the way, thousands of people (maybe you) asked if the story and concepts in the video could be captured in a book that people could use to build their own personal plan - a compass of what it takes to become an entrepreneur. I thought that was a good idea... and here it is.

Couldnt book this book down. When Patrick says "this book wont take you very long to finish" he is right. It took me about an hour because i couodnt put it down.
Its like watching a one of your favorite action movies, you want no one to bother you while your absorbing whats happebing and soaking in the knowlege bomb being drop on you.
I love when people are strught forward and genuine about their approach to entrepreneurs.  I appreciate when the dirty discorugaing moment. It makes it very human and related. I cant relate to someone whos had everything janded down to them, knowing that Patrick comes from a place of hard work and discpline, im floored.  Patrick lays down the lines of tbe overall picture. He evens humbers the fots for you like your favorite kids images. But he says very clearly its up to you to oush through and connect the dots. Its not a easy task for a beginner but completely doable. Just focus. Ignore the outside voices.  This is a jounery for yourself. Only you can get yourself through to the destination. Be coachable but do something about it. Many people can. Nod along and pretend to hear you out, but not many truly listen and grasp the true content.
What I best took away from thus amazing read was that your mission, goals, or whatever you inspire to do in life as an entrepreneur is possible but its a procress. Definitely recommend.

What I really enjoyed about this book is that Patrick Bet-David always has a way of keeping things simple and straight to the point.
The points on this book explains how to be a successful entrepreneur which I recommend this read to every individual that has a desire for doing much more for their life; key one is accepting our truth. The first 4 points that this book goes over I feel resonated more with me. It is very challenging to accept the truth about your reality. Sometimes we don't even realize we make ourselves the victim of our own story which does not serve us at all.
I loved learning more about different success stories from Al's Unser persistency to win to Marc Cuban's period of no vacation for 7 years.

What holds people back is thinking small, fear or unwilling to get to work.
I feel for the most part it is definitely not getting to work, which stems from not having clarity of why we want to be successful bad enough.
It isn't about the money, it is about something much greater.
Sometimes we want a shortcut like a lottery ticket, but the reality is that success comes with no shortcuts.
It comes with tedious hard work and resilience to not giving up regardless of the challenges faced.
We only have one life to live, it is our time to make it the best life ever lived.

I truly enjoyed this book because it was simply real. My favorite Chapter was Chapter 1 when Patrick talks about the white water rafting story. It was simply hilarious because when you fall out of the raft no one is going to save you. You are on your own and you have to go figure it out, there is no one there to give you a hand when your decisions got you in a tough situation. I think many people now a days expect a cushion after every mistake. Mistakes are supposed to be felt so you don't do it again. Along with that thought my favorite quote is "The truth about the past is, yes, you encountered challenges or you experienced some tough situations, and some of them were absolutely not your fault. The truth about today is you have a responsibility to do something about it versus use yesterday as an excuse to do nothing today and have no plan when you wake up tomorrow." People tend to blame events in their lives of why they aren't where they want to be, instead of attaching a reason of why they have limited time to achieve their goals. My question is how to not get trapped in the funk of others and the quickest way of getting rid of relationships that distract your momentum?

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ, in 90 pages of straight to the point Value on Entrepreneurship!!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016

If you are looking for the magic pill to go from broke to financially free, there is not any magic pills. However this book is the closest thing to taking a pill because it is an extremely short to the point read for anyone to sit down read and retain. This is a MUST READ, even if you are just trying to find your way. This book re lates to you by the questions the authors asks you even in the beginning of this book, to reality behind every situation. It's so much easier to say about someone who seems to be successful by the car they drive the clothes they wear and the places they go, but what you can't sum up is the roads they took to get to what you see today! This book is very valuable in the way Patrick Bet-David gets you not only to relate to the facts but really think and use your own mind to create your individual vision of your future. He, along with Tom Ellsworth, utilizes the best of the best quotes and insights of the past "Greats" to today's "Greats" who's valuable quotes are classic and timeless.
He also mentions "Play to your strengths" along with that recognize other people's strengths and work together to get to the same goals and vision. He is working along side with Tom Ellsworth, who has the success in business known as the " Midas Touch", because whatever he sets his sights (vision) on, he doesn't stop until he makes it happen. Which is what this book is all about!

Now it's up to you and what you do about the knowledge that you just were given, once you have read this book of course, that really makes the difference!!

It's a small, compact book full of short motivational stories of great entrepreneurs. It's devided in six subcategories and therefor, it reads super easy and fluently. For me, it was more a book of motivation with some large ideas in it, than a book with specific tips. For any one who would like to become an entrepreneur and is searching a good book to motivate him, I recommend: "The life of an entrepreneur in 90 pages"!
