1,000 Dollars & an Idea
Entrepreneur to Billionaire

“What I learned creating and building University Computing, Sterling Software, Maverick Capital, Bonanza Steakhouse, Michaels stores, Green Mountain Energy.”
This guy is a good writer and a thoughtful researcher. I lived through the times he is talking about and the man is audacious to the nth degree. I read this almost in one sitting last night - it reads so easily and is also compelling. Very good coast-to-coast airplane ride book. There is a little for every type of businessman in this book. The man has strong ethics and character and he speaks the truth - loudly.
Now if only I could figure out how and why his market timing is so good, as he seems to sell his companies at the top of their markets.
