Mistakes Millionaires Make is written by a multimillionaire who, himself, has made may of the mistakes he chronicles in this book. I like that he started off by sharing his own story - sharing the plans, the success he enjoyed, the mistakes he made and how they affected him, and most importantly, the lessons he took from the event so he could do better in the future.
I really enjoyed reading this eversion and would like to own a print copy for my library so I can return to it often in my own quest for entrepreneurship success.

What I like about this book is that it shows the perspective from the losing side instead of the winning side like most of the books do.

The first half is good but the second half not so much. Some of the lessons are good, some can be repetitive and some could be obvious to people with experience and for those who have forgotten that they've also made mistakes.


In general the best advice would be summarized in: hope for the best, but prepare for the worst from the beginning with a good and trusted lawyer. Trust, but verify.

Sometimes you need a little pep talk, an internal Ted Talk moment: part education, part inspiration, part make you feel you’re not as bad as you thought. This book by leading CEO-coach Harry Clark gives it to you in spades. Learning at the knees of business titans as they crash and burn and eventually rise again are life lessons that will inspire you, give you steps to do better in life and assuage your guilt of that one time you bought the shoes instead of paying the electric bill on time. In your case no one lost their pension, the family business did not go up in flames. If they can bounce back-so can you!

Thank you for sharing your mistakes. This book is a great way for others who want to make more (even if you don't achieve millions) to learn and grow. All successful people have read or studied those who have made millions and learned from not only their mistakes but their achievements. I recommend this book to all who want to become richer than they are.
