Inspirational for the Young

An inspirational read that is a first in its balancing act between relationships, the value of work, teamwork, and leadership.

What a story . . .

This book was inspirational on so many levels. First, it is a great tribute to Mrs. Wolstein, who was Mr. Wolstein's partner at home and at work. This is itself a tribute to marriage and stability and family that few businesspeople talk about (or seem to take seriously). Second, it is a reminder of the value of work--to keep plugging away at things and keep looking up . . . eventually you will get there. Third, its a reminder that luck matters--but luck combined with skills and attitude matter the most. Wolstein got lucky by being a developer at a particular time in the suburbanization of America--but he had the smarts and the experience to make that moment work. Finally, it is a story of leadership. Wolstein didn't do it all himself. But he chose those who worked with him over many years to accomplish the great things he did. He knew how to get their best, and he knew when to part ways. He led by example and there are a great many people out there working in his footsteps.

An amazing read

It is rare to find a book where the author shares his journey to success in such a personal and honest manner. I found Bert's account of the challenges and triumphs that make a successful entrepreneur to be inspiring. I wish I had read it earlier in my entreprenuerial career.
