Summary: A Delightful Read from a Seasoned Entrepreneur
Review: I loved reading Jane's book. She has a delightful writing style (and speaking style, for those fortunate to hear her speak) and she shares her experiences with wonderful wit and wisdom. Jane speaks and writes from the heart and clearly has interest in helping others benefit from her own experience and learning along the way. The book is written in a very readable and practical style, and any entrepreur can garner lessons from reading this book! You will likely find yourself smiling at many of Jane's stories as she so genuinely shares the ups and downs along the path to becoming an entrepreneur!

Review: In a portion of the book, Ms. Pollak describes an incident where someone came up to her and told her that during her speech her examples were trivial, this person could not have been more right. As an entrepreneur, I cannot believe the hype over this book from the reviews here to the Today show. This book left me turning from page to page, thinking there was something enlightening coming somewhere right up and until the end of the book. I would only recommend this book for the fresh out of college, any seasoned entrepreneur knows 150% more than what is in this book.

Summary: 100 Excellent Lessons
Review: Jane Pollak has captured the essence of being an entrepreneur. Through insight, candor and example she illustrates all of the ups and downs of building a business. Her format is an excellent example in simplicity. The lesson to be learned is clearly and concisely presented at the top of each page and then a real-life example is presented in the body of the text. I read it through, the first time,in just two easy sittings. It is packed with honest and straightforward samplings of events that every entrepreneur in any field of endeavor has (or will) encounter. This book is entertaining, educational and inspiring. I recommend it to any aspiring entrepreneur!

Summary: Business with a Soul
Review: What a wonderful book for anyone who wants to live out his or her dream! Jane Pollak shows how she made a successful business out of her passion (she's a skilled artist), and she shares the life lessons that have made her business better and the business lessons that have improved her life. Each lesson is brief and to the point, filled with such warmth, truth and humor that by the end you feel you know the author, and that she's a great person to know.

Summary: Truly Fabulous!
Review: Where was Jane's book when I was starting out in business over 15 years ago? I can recall searching in vain for similar words of wisdom. I knew there had to be others-like me-dealing with the disheartening experience of not being taken seriously as a businesswoman. Today, I consider myself more successful than I ever though possible. I learned some lessons described throughout Jane's book, the hard way. In some cases I was fortunate enough to have a mentor to easy my way. A decade and a half of experience has not taught me all I need to know about being in business. I found Jane's book to be filled with many insights that I know will be helpful to me in the future. I also found it encouraging to know I wasn't alone, in dealing with difficulties that often arise among creative entrepreneurs. In the book, Jane was especially adept at giving insight into dealing these "bumps in the road," and most helpful in outlining how to turn these obstacles into opportunities. I frequently reread the book for inspiration. I have given many copies as gifts to my friends and colleages. I'm overwhelmed with their gratitude for sharing such a wonderful book. Thank you Jane for sharing your wisdom and knowledge! Lisa Pavelka
