The Entrepreneur Equation: A Review of Carol Roth’s Book
I met Carol Roth last year and immediately loved her. She’s smart, fiercely independent, and tells it like it is. What you see is what you get with Carol and it makes her even more lovable. As a friend, she’ll tell you if you have spinach in your teeth or a booger hanging from your nose, but she’ll also tell it to you as a would-be entrepreneur or business owner.
And that’s her claim to fame.
Carol is an investment banker turned business advocate. She works with companies the size of mine and all the way up. And the advice she gives is always the same: Frank and honest.
She’s written her new book, The Entrepreneur Equation, that way…in a very special Carol way. It’s a book I wish I’d had six years ago, when I was contemplating organizing a business structure and hiring a team.
It’s not often you come across a book (or a person, for that matter) who will tell you exactly what it’s like to run a business. For those of you who dream of working for yourself, this is a must read. It will dispel some of those not-living-in-reality ideas you have (kind of like John Falchetto has done for me about moving my business to Italy) about running your own business.
If you’re thinking about going out on your own, you’re just starting a new business, or you’ve been in business for yourself for a long time, this book is for you. If you never to plan to work for yourself, this book is not for you.
She claims to be a recovering toy addict, but you’ll see in the video, I’m not so sure she’s recovering.
And with that is my review of The Entrepreneur Equation… (click here if you can’t see the video in your RSS feed).
This is like a follow friday. Poor @caroljsroth is already seeing me tweet stuff @ginidietrich
Don't you warn people first! =)
@HowieG I know. I really should preface every post about a person with a warning about you.
I can not to wait to read this one! Thanks for sharing Gini! And huge thanks to Carol for writing and inspiring new entrepreneurs like me!
I'll add it to my list! I really enjoyed the other entrepreneurial books you recommended to me so I'm sure I'll feel the same about this one -- thanks!
@ginidietrich where is Sparty? I'm sure he would be very happy to sit next the doll of @caroljsroth.
@patrickreyes @caroljsroth. I'll do Sparty with the doll next time. I didn't want to take away from Carol this time!
Looking forward to next month to get my copy. Carol is a great, no BS, Spin free business consultant.
I enjoy watching her Fired Business Assessments. Those who haven't seen it, go check them out on her website. She will tell you exactly what you are doing wrong with your business.
Thanks for the review Gini and sorry that I change your idea of running AD from Tuscanny!

@philsimon @John Falchetto Phil, John tends to do that. My advice? Ignore him. :)
@John Falchetto Yeah...I still want to do it, but it's not quite as picturesque in my mind anymore. You probably saved me a lot of heartache.
Sounds like she's a pretty straight forward approach. Looks like a good read for sure.
@Ben_ProfitBlog It's a really good read! Everything she says is true. It's one of those books you wish more entrepreneurs wrote.

Thanks for the review Gini and I AM recovering. That's why I sent the doll to you. If I was still an addict, I would have kept it for myself!
