Resumen del Editor

Entrepreneur or Wantrepreneur is a book which evaluates your entrepreneurial skill-set to a level that will make most want to quit listening. This book acts as an extreme crash course for the mind of both the entrepreneur and the wantrepreneur. Every ounce of the listener's mental fortitude is tested in an effort to provide self-identifying entrepreneurial strengths and weaknesses for all of those who embark on the entrepreneurial journey.

Epic

An audio book about business that actually gives you things to think about and utilize.... Written by two guys that have actually created successful businesses rather than just an author.. Killed it loved it

Rough around the edges

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I think so. While most of the content was common sense and nothing special, it was delivered in a way that may appeal to a testosterone riddled male. Kind of rough around the edges and lacking in specific examples, but sends the message as intended.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Kind of sudden, but actually glad it was over. Those two guys repeated themselves and were almost yelling at the audience.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes

Could you see Entrepreneur or Wantrepreneur being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No!!!!!!

Wake up call for entrepreneurs

John and Cory give a blunt overview of the mindset and skills it takes to make it as an entrepreneur. Whether you are planning to start a business or currently running one, there are gems of insight and words of warning that will pay dividends. After listening to this, you will know if becoming an entrepreneur is for you or if you are a wantrepreneur and should stick to a different career path. They take a tough love approach and maybe take it a little far, but it seems to be with the best intentions. Definitely worth listening to because it will force you to be brutally honest with yourself.

John Fosco is desperate for you to be impressed by him.

The content of the book is good enough. I appreciate the anecdotes, but this audiobook really falls short with its delivery. It's as if the guys are reading an outline instead of a manuscript, and as a result they meander and fumble for words to say. Cory Gregory is the much better speaker of the two, and while he makes a few mistakes here and there I still give him high marks.

John Fosco, however, not so much. In his desperate attempt to sound intense and impressive, he instead sounds like he's on the verge of a heart attack every time he speaks. Close to end of the book, he interrupts Gregory to inject a truly pointless and masturbatory speech about how he will TOTALLY EAT YOU ALIVE IF YOU'RE A WANTREPRENEUR BECAUSE HE'S A SHARK AND SHARKS EAT WHAT THEY WANT (I hope you narrated that in your best 'roid rage voice, because that's how it sounds in the book).

Odd but motivational

This book read like a very amateur podcast. There were strange analogies and over-the-top motivational weight lifting motivational style of speaking. But there were good antidotes and did "pump me up" to want to start a business. Their mentality is extremely narrow to the supplement industry but it is what they know. I will say I have never read/listened to a book that kept telling me to stop reading. They kept using reverse psychology like "you can't handle the next chapter" constantly which I found comical given it was so repetitive and hyperbolic in its usage.

Business education

first hand account of business development and entrepreneurship from two of the best in the business

REAL

This book is the most real business book I've read. I would recommend to anyone thinking about starting a business or in a business already.

John Fosco has probably sold ice to an Eskimo

Cory and John will always win, you can't convince me otherwise. They use this platform to help you win too, whether you are an entrepreneur or provide value to your company. Great examples from their own life's as well.

overall good book.

It was a little hard to listen to at first but glad I stuck through the whole thing

Great content but painful narration

Cory has great information to give, and fantastic stories to back up the ideas in the book. John is far too dramatic and can't say more than 5 words without pausing for dramatic effect.
It had some great points that have helped me with my business- but I wish I bought the hard copy book !
