The book takes you through the lives of 20 non-MBA entrepreneurs from varying backgrounds with a few rags to riches stories.

Hello friends,
If you want live inspiration in your day to day life. This book will help you. It's a amazing book. My favorite story is about Suresh B. Kamat founder of Lasersoft. I really appreciate the author's work to bring all this personalities in light through this book.

AS I READ MANY BOOKS, EVEN ALL BOOKS OF RASHMI BANSAL JI,
THIS CONNECT- THE- DOTS, IS A GREAT ONE MY FIRST MOST INSPIRATIONAL ONE OF ALL,
HERE BANSAL JI, EXPLAINED & MOTIVATED THAT ANY ONE EVEN A LAYMAN CAN BECOME A GREAT BUSINESSMAN BUT WITH SOME ETHICS,

AND EXPLAINED THAT MANY BIG BUSINESSES ARE STANDING UP, BECAUSE BY THE GREAT WORKS & BY DOING MANY SACRIFICES IN THEIR LIFE, SO SUCCESSES CANT COME EASILY, HARD WORK IS THE ONLY SHORTCUT.

A Good one to keep you encouraging. Love some of the key lines in the stories... One can't read it & keep it aside. You will love to reread it.One can do miracles by following his heart.. and nothing can come in between.

ITS A GOOD BOOK TO BE READ BY ALL YOUNG AND OLD.MY YOUNG SON AND WIFE BOTH WHO HATE READING BOOKS BUT LIKED THIS BOOK AND THEY HAVE STARTED READING.
SHORT AND READABLE STORIES.I THINK A FEW OUT OF 20 ARE NOT SO GOOD BUT ALLIN THE PACKAGE IS GOOD.

Basically, this book's good points could be summarised in the following manner -
1. Short and sweet
2. Relevant and does not deviate from the topic.
3. Gives us an insight after each short story of a successful entrepreneur.
4. Is simple, easy to understand and inspirational.
Yeah, thats about it. You could keep going back to the book in case you are feeling down at some point in your life. It is definitely a MANY TIME READ.

Being at the brink of completing MTech, I found this book very motivating to think freely in terms of where I want to take my career. The book has covered entrepreneurs from such diverse areas that every chapter is equally interesting and unique!

I found answers to many questions related to entrepreneurship like how long it usually takes to settle a start-up, how to deal with family and peer pressure, is money always the main motive or businesses can be successful with other bottom-lines as...
