Product Description
"Lots of entrepreneurs make money. Lots of entrepreneurs who make money write books. Few of those books make you glad they did. This one does."
—The New York Times Book Review
"A classic tale of a nimble, customer–focused, entrepreneurial David outsmarting bureaucratic, ossified, corporate Goliaths."
—Business Week
"Entertaining, engaging, and informative, Bloomberg by Bloomberg is packed with great advice about how to start a lean, hungry company–and how to keep it that way."
—Bryan Burrough, coauthor, Barbarians at the Gate
Brash, aggressive, and supremely self–confident, Michael Bloomberg, the visionary leader of the world′s fastest–growing media empire, has been hailed as the new standard for what it takes to win in the Information Age. Dismissed from Salomon Brothers in 1981, Bloomberg immediately took his money and acerbic personality and started Bloomberg L.P. Bolstered by a $30 million investment from Merrill Lynch, the company and the man have been sprinting ahead of the pack ever since. Only twenty years after founding, he′s at the top of his industry. And on June 5, 2001, he added mayoral candidate for New York City to his list of accomplishments and aspirations. If elected, powerhouse Michael Bloomberg will bring his own brand of leadership–and personal style–to the city that never sleeps.
So there I was, thirty-nine years old and essentially hearing, "Here's $10 million; you're history." Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars
First half great on business; second half pontification,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bloomberg by Bloomberg (Hardcover)
Michael is clearly a hard driving CEO that has built an outstanding business. It is a great story and the building and history of Bloomberg is tremendous reading. The second half gets tiring fast; all entreprenuers have big egos, and his gets in the way as he dishes out advice on everything from education to family. Read the first half, skim the second.

Good for the entrepreneur and company man alike,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bloomberg by Bloomberg (Hardcover)
Bloomberg by Bloomberg I enjoyed reading this book because of the way in which Michael Bloomberg describes the role that skill, personality, contacts and luck played in building his business. It was interesting to note how he does not seem all that concerned with what his competitors are doing. He focuses on what his customers want. An interesting part of the book was at the end where he describes his philanthropy and the fact that once a certain level of wealth is reached, that money should be given to charitable causes. I particularly liked the section where he attributes much of his success to putting in long hours.

Fantastic journey of a startup,
By
This review is from: Bloomberg by Bloomberg (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Bloomberg is simply another example of an incredible man who lives his life to the fullest. His philosphies with which he runs his businesses are well worth a read and for those keen entrepreneurs, it is an exciting journey about a life of a successful startup, that later turned into an enterprise. To sum it all, an inspirational journey.
