It is truly THE most inspirational read I have EVER read and as a coach I have read lots of material. --Scott Dwyer, Motivations Business Coaching Services
There were parts of the book that made me laugh out loud, others that made me shout that's so true and others that brought a lump to my throat. This was definitely the best book I read in the whole of 2009. --Danielle Fagot, Richmond House
Exceptionally honest, frank and real and very funny! I haven t laughed out loud whilst reading for years. Sound advice and very motivating. I just GOMyA. --Nick Hill, Binary Vision

Format:Paperback
This book starts off in quite a refreshing way, and Brad Burton's honesty is really inspiring - he has nothing to hide - for example he is upfront about his financial difficulties, and there is no wallowing in self pity. For those reasons I gave it 2 stars.
However, it just seemed to fall apart after the first couple of chapters and I found myself struggling to finish it (I steeled myself and did it). The biggest downside is that it becomes a collection of incoherent ramblings that you can't follow. I had the impression a drunk bloke had cornered me in a pub, desperate to tell me his life story which got very tiresome after a while.
So many businesspeople get ghost writers to pen their books, and Brad Burton definitely has not - but he could really have benefitted from a professional organising his ideas and cutting out the irrelevant stuff.
There are also a couple of sexist bits that really jarred. This was the biggest shame for me, as I am actually a member of his organisation 4Networking, which I think is an innovative breath of fresh air in the stuffed shirts that make up most networking organisations (BNI etc) I know Brad sells himself as breaking the mould and a bit of a rebel but he doesn't need to slide into being offensive to prove that.
All in all, really disappointing after a promising start.

Format:Kindle Edition
I really don't understand what these 5 star ratings are about. There was nothing motivational in the book and worse still was a thoroughly dull read. This is a book about one rather annoying man telling the story of what he's been up to for the last couple of years. Apparently he's met a few people. Shame none of them were people that could advise on how to write a book.

I went to a 4Networking meeting once - and since then I have been on their email list.
I recently got an email offering me (as a member - which I'm not) a free download of the audio version of this book. Which I did.
I don't think I am going to make it as far as the end...
In short - I feel that after getting it free of charge, I have been ripped off.
I Totally agree with the other one star reviews.
Avoid.

Get off your arse
