New expanded edition of 50 Entrepreneurs: Thriving in Uncertain Times is a whopping 300 pages and includes exclusive one-on-one interviews with over 50 successful entrepreneurs including Michael Gerber, Christine Comaford, Allen Fishman (TAB), Bob Parsons (GoDaddy), Kim Jordan (New Belgium Brewing), and Jake Jabs (American Furniture Warehouse).  View the entire list of those interviewed here.

There are two types of people in this world; those who ponder, and those who act.  50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs showcases the latter, offering a rare and honest glimpse into the true mindset of what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur in an increasingly uncertain world. Their answers offer real life wisdom, insight, and practical advice you can put to use right now. They are simply living proof that you can create something from nothing and that without risk, there can be no reward. They teach us that failure is the pathway to success, a burning desire the essential fuel, and why having a purpose greater than ourselves leads to ultimate fulfillment.

Not sure what kind of business you might want to start? Consider this a great starting block.  For the author, who eventually went on to build a fast growing publishing business, it served as a catalyst to discover exactly the kind of business that would have the greatest chances of success and be most fulfilling.  Ultimately, the most successful business you can start is the one  that doesn’t feel like work at all. There’s no reason why this book can’t do the same for you.

In an easy to digest format, each interview is condensed down to only the key insights, averaging  five pages per interview. Consider that each can be read in 15 minutes to start your day or before you go to bed each night.  Each interview provides new insights and is guaranteed to give you a shot inspiration when you may need it the most.

“Very few books these days combine short vignettes with powerful direct impacts that can be used immediately. The ROI for 50 Interviews is two minutes tops. Brian’s formulaic approach enables the reader to extract the collective insight and experience of 50 divergent entrepreneurs. His dialogue throughout the book allows us to vicariously ask the questions we would have wanted to ask any successful entrepreneur and learn succinctly what worked for them.” -Michael R. Webb, Co-Founder, Aubice LLC
