Me, Inc.

Build an Army of One, Unleash Your Inner Rock God, Win in Life and Business

By: Gene Simmons

Narrated by: Gene Simmons, John Varvatos

Book package features a black simulated-leather cover with gold foil stamping and black ribbon bookmark.

The fact that KISS is one of the most successful rock bands in the world is no accident. From the beginning Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had a clear-cut vision of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to operate KISS as a business well before they ever first took the stage. Since deciding with Paul to manage the band themselves, Simmons has proved himself to be a formidable businessman, having sold over 100 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, overseen over 3,000 licensed merchandise items, and starred in the longest running celebrity reality show to date. More impressive is that he handles all of his business ventures on his own—no personal assistant, few handlers, and as little red tape as possible.

In ME, INC., Simmons shares a lifetime of field-tested and hard-won business advice that will provide readers with the tools needed to build a solid business strategy, harness the countless tools available in the digital age, network like hell, and be the architect for the business entity that is you. Inspired by The Art of War, the book dispenses Simmons’ in-depth insights via thirteen specific principles for success based on his own experience, triumphs, and instructional failures in business—from finding the confidence within yourself that’s necessary to get started, to surrounding yourself with the right people to partner with and learn from, to knowing when to pull the plug and when to double-down. These thirteen principles are a skeleton key into a world of success, freedom, peace of mind and, most importantly, financial success.

It was interesting

It was an interesting book. Some of what he had to say I agreeded with and other points not. But we all have our own opinions.

Awesome

I really got a lot of quality content out of this one, and the fact that Gene took the time to read it is a big plus.

Insight in becoming an entrepreneur

Facebook's gives you the basic tools of how to discipline yourself to become an entrepreneur. I felt that the book was enjoyable read and Mr Simmons was right to the point.

Definitely worth the listen

Awesome life story. Loved hearing about his drive, innovation, and path to finding success and hustling to make money when he was young. He lost me a little with his views on timing family around business success, but he has valid points, and everyone can create their life how they want. And you will have an easier time becoming successful without juggling family in the mix. But it all depends on perspective and what each person wants their life to be like. Great book, motivating, encouraging.

Required reading

This book should be required reading for every senior in high school. Young people could learn so much if they actually took his words and applied them to life.

Awesome

No guilt about focusing on me. Inspired to invest in more ventures. I do recommend it a lot! Very cool

AWESOME

I was a fan of KISS as a young kid and I had NO idea! I am so glad I read this book (listened to it actually). I have a tremendous respect for Gene Simmons now. Wow. Just wow. And thank you for writing this book!

LOVE IT!!!

I really enjoyed all the real life tips Gene Simmons gave here. He tells it how it is, and I especially loved how he ranted about speaking English from a guy who didn't speak English. He has so many business tips I took to heart and will implement. Thank you for telling the story yourself, Gene Simmons. It was wonderful to hear your life story in your own voice!!!

A great read.

Gene Simmons is both charismatic and powerful in this book which although called "Me Inc" is actually about YOU.

One of the best!!

Gene tells it like it is. If your serious about being successful, this book will
help. Must read.
