Fortune and Freedom - The Entrepreneur's Guide to Success by Jim Hirshfield - Book Review

Any budding entrepreneur with questions about a business dilemma or how to balance personal and business life will find some tried-and-true, applicable wisdom in Jim Hirshfield's new book, "Fortune and Freedom: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Success." Hirshfield's qualifications include an MBA from Harvard and 26-years experience as the CEO of a cable company he founded. "Fortune and Freedom" outshines the myriad of other available business self-help books because it's about how to have a good life and enjoy the financial freedom of entrepreneurship, not a get- rich-quick scheme. "Fortune and Freedom" takes the stance that the business aspects of one's life cannot be separated from the rest of life, so it provides essential advice for how to effectively manage one's time to succeed across the board. "Fortune and Freedom" will also teach readers how to prepare themselves to own and run a business, how to decide how their project should be financed, how to find the right deal, how to negotiate and much more.
