Hi All,
Has anyone found or read good entrepeneur stories that they would like to recommend?
I've read Richard Branson's book, and it was interesting, but was as much about his life as his business persuits. Still very impressive, in every way. Dude was a player as well as a businessman.
I also read Felix Dennis' book, but it was more an advice book than the nitty-gritty of how he spotted oportunities and attacked them etc.
This was also extreme and epic: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/new...-20110316. Ballsy mofos.
Obviously I also know some more familar and recent examples.
Roosh (filled a demand for localized woman-chasing guides, developed from his travel persuits).
BoldAndDetermined (supplies a brand of 'masculine role-model', used a blog to sell this image and his 'discipline' and workout books, now earns good passive money).
I'd be interested in other 'smaller size' examples. Facebook and Google are epic in terms of their success, but I doubt they are relatable to the vast majority of successful businesses.
Also I'm looking for 'nitty gritty' examples. I.e. guys who explain how they tested the market, spotted oportunities, put them into action etc.
Any 'expat entrepeneur stories' specifically would be cool too, especially Asia.
Cheers!
