Think there’s a difference between being an entrepreneur and an extreme entrepreneur?
Read The Student Success Manifesto, by Michael Simmons, and you’ll find out there certainly is. Simmons, winner of three entrepreneur of the year awards, let’s us in on his Extreme Entrepreneur mindset. In his book, the ever-enterprising Simmons reveals what the extreme entrepeneur needs to do in order properly leverage their tangible and intangible assets to create a life of passion, purpose, and prosperity.
Having been a keynote speaker on entrepreneurship, Simmons does a fascinating job of bringing to the readers the true value in finding what you are passionate about and doing that for the rest of your life. He goes against the conventional wisdom of the educational system and for all the right reasons. This book is a must read for anyone who finds true value in doing what they are passionate about and not just because it’s the “next step” in life. Even if starting a business is not your area of interest, reading The Student Success Manifesto will most definitely open up your mind and let you see all the possibilities that are out there for you, as well as give you the ability to unlock your potential.
Simmons not only preaches the Extreme Entrepreneur mindset, he lives it. In his effort to find out what he was passionate about and what he wanted to do in life he took a semester off from NYU going against the opinions of people such as his counselor and his mother. He did so with good reason as well considering the numerous awards he has won. Simmons does a fantastic job of bringing his real life experiences and discoveries to his readers. If there was ever a book that would give you a distinct advantage over your classmates, it would most certainly be The Student Success Manifesto. Speaking from experience, I highly recommend purchasing “The Manifesto” for your bookshelf just in case you ever need a little refresher.
