The Dream: How I Learned the Risks and Rewards of Entrepreneurship and Made Millions
|
Review
"While success like his is often attributed to luck, Chahal's story, like that of many immigrants, is more one of sacrifice ... it was years of hard work, persistence and faith, along with the support of his family, that brought his financial rewards--not chance."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Chahal is a prodigy, a successful entrepreneur, and a writer. His story is remarkable and we think it is a prime example of what can be accomplished with a little motivation and ingenuity. Young Hollywood wants to know what this young man can’t do!"--Young Hollywood

I really like this book. I can relate to the struggles to become independent from my parents, and the difficulty in accepting who I am and how different I am from a lot of people. I like some of the lessons, especially on the importance of knowing your DNA, and working on your strengths. I do computer programming so reading about his story was also really nice for me to see some of the ways a businessman/salesman thinks. This was an easy and good read as well.

What a great story! It's wonderful to read about someone living the American dream. From immigrating from India as a child to dropping out of high school to becoming a self-made millionaire while still a teenager, Gurbaksh's story is inspiring and motivational, as well as an excellent read.
