It was not very useful to someone like me who has been a successful business owner for over 12 years. Gerber is much more informative for those starting out. Success is about being realistic, having a plan, having the financial resources to get thru the cash flow issues and having the perseverance to withstand adversity. It is long hours doing everything when you can&#039;t afford to outsource or hire. It is energizing when you are working on the things you love, providing a great service to clients and winning their trust and praise. Nothing is more personally rewarding. It takes discipline to be your own boss. This last year is tough. I start work everyday around 6:30 AM and I am still at it 12 hours later. I would never do that for someone else. I wouldn&#039;t have it any other way. Welcome to my world.
