Great for inspiration, but there is very little in the way of practical or applicable advice. Yes, there are lots of young people out there taking risks, starting their own businesses and having them take off. But how do you figure out if your idea is worth pursuing? How do you go about managing your finances in the interim? She basically says go for it and fills the book with stories of people who've made it work.

Read in May, 2007
I always like to dream of leaving "the grind", working for myself, etc, but then, I realize what that means in terms of amount of work and risk, and say, nah... But I always like to read about those with more guts than I have.
