Product Description
Review
"While success like his is often attributed to luck, Chahal's story, like that of many immigrants, is more one of sacrifice ... it was years of hard work, persistence and faith, along with the support of his family, that brought his financial rewards--not chance."--"San Francisco Chronicle"
"Chahal is a prodigy, a successful entrepreneur, and a writer. His story is remarkable and we think it is a prime example of what can be accomplished with a little motivation and ingenuity. Young Hollywood wants to know what this young man can't do!"--"Young Hollywood"
Product Description
Gurbaksh Chahal's family emigrated from India to San Jose, CA when he was six. He started the internet advertising company ClickAgents from his bedroom at the age of 16, and sold it two years later for $40 million, turning his sibling employees into millionaires and saving his family's dream house. Facing family pressures and discrimination due to his Sikh background, Gurbaksh moved away from home and worked at the ValueClick for two years, becoming the youngest executive of the multi-billion dollar NASDAQ-listed company. Chahal then went on to found his second company, BlueLithium, which he sold in 2007 to Yahoo! for $300 million. Encouraging people to effectively harness risk and discipline for their own gain, Chahal shares his daring personal vision and his extraordinary experiences to reveal that success is much closer than most aspiring entrepreneurs realize.

Format:Hardcover
This is a story of a young mans life. In the book you expect to find insights into entreprenurial process but end up finding more on the author's family and personal life. If you are interested in reading the biography of a guy with a small success read it. If you want to draw entrepreneurial lessons, this is not the book for you. It is a nice read but useless.

Entrepreneurship is something that is inside you and you need to explore it. Gurbaksh has well proved his ideology mix of business n moral values how he implemented those...m fortunate to be of same background and completly enjoyed his struggle with self, his aims, his ups n downs....how he shaped himself with time. Very nice n motivating read.
Format:Hardcover
I didnt give this book a 4 or 5 star rating due to the fact that from a business viewpoint it lacked certain info and explanations but from a story view it was a lovely book to read and I think people with foreign backgrounds anywhere in the world might enjoy it a bit more as it battles with certain issues.
