Editorial Review: Product Description: A Celebration of dreamers who became doers... Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneur's Soul is a compilation of short stories from entrepreneurs, both large and small, who share their experiences of success, failure and courage, with a little helpful advice mixed in. Many of these stories, told for the first time here, will enlighten you to new methods of entrepreneurship or simply help you believe in the possibilities of getting started. People such as Doris Christopher, a stay-at-home mother, introduced her love of cooking to others, thus founding The Pampered Chef; sticking to his instincts and putting value at the core of his business, Tom Chappell, founder of Tom's of Maine, explains how success can go way beyond the balance sheet; and Carol Gardner intimately shares a desperate time of debt and divorce, until along came a bulldog named Zelda, followed by a greeting card line -- Zelda Wisdom -- which became one of Hallmark's number-one sellers. These entrepreneurs and many more will inspire you with their amazing life experiences and fascinating beginnings. Average Rating:
 Rating: - An Inspiration BibleI think this book should have a place in the library of any aspiring or seasoned entrepreneur. If you're demotivated, uninspired and/or discouraged, and you want to recharge your batteries or reconnect with your entrepreneurial spirit, then this is the book to read. However, if you're looking for a blueprint for entrepreneurial success, then in my opinion, you'll need another book in addition to this one. Rating: - InspiringI have heard some of the stories in this book before, but there were some that I found to be quite encouraging. Rating:  - No substanceI was greatly disappointed with this book. I saw Jack Canfield on a TV show and he stated the all the stories went through a very thorough vetting process and only the most inspirational ones made the book.Well if this is true then the vetting committe needs to look up the meaning of the word inspirational. I felt this book was just thrown together with stories that were held together with the barest of threads , I feel there are much better books out there to find real inspiration in. Rating:  - Awesome & Life Changing!This book, as well as the author have literally changed my life in positive ways I neevr deemed possible. I am so grateful for the book and for the wise words of Jack Canfield. He and his writings inspire and encourage me as well as give me hope for the future of our world! Rating: - LEARN, ENJOY, AND GET INSPIREDA great book written by a combination of Entrepreneurs themselves, and authors to whom they told their stories. The stories are short - allowing the inclusion of many - of all kinds, sizes, phases of development, and types of "lessons learned", as well as place for you to write your own notes and reminders. You will want to go back to many (their websites are provided with brief comments at the end of each chapter)- so do not borrow your copy to friends! The excitement, the challenges, and the "I ...
