Gerber was good. This was a downer.

Too much time saying heres all the negatives. Not enough "This is where u can get help to not be a failed statistic." Yes it's a LOT of work and a big risk. How does listing the negatives to scare people away help? Over suggesting where to find the helpful info? Maybe it's just me, but I think that's counter productive.

My review

Most of the time this book is telling the true.

Really it’s a reality check.

Real, but Almost Pessimistic

I struggled to finish this book to be honest. I am really interested in becoming an entrepreneur and starting my own business. I have been nervous to do it for awhile so I started studying and listening to books to help. She gave some good information but gave everything with a negative twist. Listening to this book made me feel almost negative about being an entrepreneur. I feel like this book was not balanced. I understand the need to share realness, but since this is a business book I think it could have highlighted some positives as well.

Nice Guy Check for Wannabe Entrepreneurs

Carol Roth does a nice job of explaining the perils of entrepreneurship. In an ocean full of feel good books about the successes, triumphs of some, Roth’s book offers refreshing insight.

I dig this book and encourage its consumption.

Great content though do not like narration

Would you consider the audio edition of The Entrepreneur Equation to be better than the print version?

No. The print version is better because I do not like the narration. I had to stop listening several times because I do not like the narration style.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narration is over-enunciated and sounds more forced than natural flow. Specifically the often said word, entrepreneur, detracts from the content.

Essential to any Entrepreneur

Even if you think you know something about running a business this book serves as a sort of entrepreneur check list; it brings up several things you weren't even thinking about, and puts several others into a new perspective. The message can be a little intimidating at times, and that's a very good thing — you need to know exactly what you're getting into. Carol tells it like it is without a lot of sunshine and jellybeans: she delivers your wake up call with both barrels.

I always hope to finish a book and have at least one takeaway, "The Entrepreneur Equation" gave me several. I'm working on a startup, and this book forced me to rethink parts of my strategy, which will save me lots of pain and money in the future. Grateful to have read it and definitely recommend.

Too many metaphors, not enough usable content.

Stuck in traffic, figured I would have nothing to lose. Got too irritated listening to the metaphors and not getting to relevant details of what it takes to run a business. Chapter 5 was all I could take.
