But the 2 books I liked reading was Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and this book. When I was reading Leapreneur, I couldn't put it down because it's so interesting. The "Case-in-Point" sections are full of wisdom and give me sneak peeks about what's going on with other businesses." -- Jans Mendoza, Entrepreneur "The book gives you everything you need to know about getting into business. I have never seen an entrepreneur book that is full of real experiences such as this. It's a very cheap tuition fee for learning how to start a business (versus committing the same mistakes). 10 out of 10 -- Mark Asilo, Entrepreneur "As an aspiring entrepreneur, the book gives me a lot of motivation realizing that Jerry went through the same struggles that I'm experiencing now. I know that if I follow his tips and strategies, I will be a successful entrepreneur someday like him." -- Crisan Ganelo, Aspiring Entrepreneur NOTE: Though the business cases featured in the book are mostly from the Philippines, the principles can be applied to other countries as well.
