Unleash Your Inner Rock God - Win in Life and Business

Great, insightful book. Some of it is common sense, while other parts are eye-opening realities that as the author, Mr. Simmons states - are politically incorrect, but nevertheless the way business works sometimes. I highly recommend any aspiring entrepreneur to read this book.

Awesome! True to his character... In your face information that others are afraid to tell you because they might hurt your feelings. Definitely a book I will keep at arms length for that daily dose of reality. Like always, GREAT WORK, Gene.

Every musician, booker, manager or music business entrepreneur must read this book. This book isn't about music business, is about business in general, but from the words of an artist and composer Gene Simmons. He was successful in music but he didn't stop there... He began a lot of business, some were successful some were not, but he nowadays don't need to make music or go on a Kiss Tour to get by day by day, his investments and business are what gets him afloat, and thats an exercise everyone and specially music related people should do.

Excellent advice for any aspiring entrepreneur no matter what field you choose. It's a great way to spend a commute to and from school being a taxi mom (my teens enjoy it a lot) and it feels like a productive time spent driving rather than not. I love how Mr Simmons narrates it himself. I love his straight forward approach not afraid to offend (respectfully) pointing out common sense stuff that people sometimes don't even think about. I do - but teens and young adults need this. It's awesome!!!

I don't mean this disrespectfully; this book would have been helpful if I read it at the age of 12, but reading it now at age 47 it was embarrassing. Thankfully I only paid $2 for it as a kindle special. Very basic, common sense statements pepper this book. It reads as if Gene just dictated into his phone (in fact, he states in the book that he did). Certain chapters begin with one point, and several pages later Gene is completely off topic. Unless you lack all manner of basic life skills, I would pass on this book.

Every now and then a business book comes along that is straight-forward and to the point. There are no fancy parables here, no pithy sayings that will stay with you while you negotiate an overseas licensing agreement and sip your latte. Gene Simmons offers a simple, honest telling of both his failures and his successes on the road from teenage rock lover to master of a financial empire.

This is real. This is what they don't teach you in business school.
