Book Giveaway: $1,000 Dollars & An Idea - Entrepreneur To Billionaire.

THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED. This month’s giveaway is for a copy of “$1,000 Dollars & An Idea” by Sam Wyly. Mr. Wyly wrote this book to tell readers what he learned while starting all his various companies - University Computing, Maverick Capital, Michaels Stores and Green Mountain Energy. Obviously, he has been rather successful, no?

The title of the book stems from the fact that he took $1,000 of his savings to start University Computing, took it public two years later, and became a millionaire at just 30 years old. If you should be reading about anyone starting with nothing and growing a business into something this big, it is definitely Mr. Wyly. Without sounding like an egotistical businessman, he talks a lot about exactly what it takes to start and grow very successful businesses, which is great for people like me working to get their own things going. It’s a great combination of both a story and advice and makes for a pretty interesting read. The most important thing to take away from this book? Have confidence in yourself, as you will never succeed if you don’t. If you are struggling to start a business or need some encouragement along the way, you should check out this book.
