1,000 Dollars and an Idea: Entrepreneur to Billionaire Book

Good book to understand the mindset of this guy and what makes him tick. Was interesting to me how he went from computer sales, to telephony, to oil, to steak houses, to craft stores, to green power, and all the other places in between. Obviously, as a autobiography, it's biased and we get the story he wants us to have, but that right there is more insight into who this man is and what has made him so successful.

At times, the details are a little too much, in my opinion. Great if you need specifics on hedge funds, but that wasn't what I was looking for. Your results may vary.

Good book for entrepreneurs. Shows what is possible when you think big.

As a side note, some of the info on Sam Walton, Ross Perot, and some other famous Texans and entrepreneurs was a good bonus. Another takeaway I had was that Sam Wyly has read over 1000 biographies to help him understand successful people. So I'm off to look at more of this type of book, hoping to have the same results that he did.
