Wow, I'd love to read such a directing book. The author writes smartly. He brings his effort to bear on influence. From the review, I realized that the author is influential. The way he targets entrepreneurs is inclusive. It is also motivational and inspirational. It is a good read. Also, you wrote a good review! It is very simple and understandable. Thanks for sharing.

"...a list of questions that the reader ought to ask themselves in order to determine whether he or she is indeed cut out for the world of business"
This is everything. Some people go into business, not because they are really Interested in it or passionate about it, but because business seems like the new cool, because their friends are doing it, or because they want to be their own boss. I'm glad this book asked this pertinent question and I believe it has more value to offer. Great review!

That kind of 24/7 sounds like a dream. However, I don't think I really have that entrepreneurial spirit, so I will be passing on this one. Thanks for a great review.

Mitche’s ideas seem totally life transforming. I love that he includes having an enjoyable family life while pursuing business. The title is definitely not misguiding. Readers are sure to get a drill!!!

Thank you for the clear, enjoyable review.

I like your review and the author's concept of the 24/7 working style. I think that this kind of working schedule would be great for anyone not just professionals or those going into business. I like that the author came from humble if not hard beginnings and managed to find his way to success.

Work 24 hours a week and 7 months a year is something really interesting. I thing this book could be helpful post Covid-19.

I don't like reading non-fiction as a whole and don't have any interest in current subject in particular. I am afraid I have to skip this one, but believe that congratulations with BOTD are still in order!

This seems like an easy read, though I'm not keen at these kind of books.

I like the idea of a series of questions to help one determine if indeed they're cut out for the business world. All too often, people plunge into entrepreneurship or multi-level marketing without first checking if they're a good fit for the job. I'm also pleased that this book reveals tips and tricks of balancing business and personal/family life. I should like to peer into its contents. Thanks for the review.
