It's a nice quick read. But to be honest: he talks more about his love life and parents than about the story of his business. And don't expect any insights. He has just been lucky ;)

Very inspiring book!
28. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I received this book as a complimentary gift while at the Henry's Photography Show in Toronto, Canada and I must say that it was very inspiring. It's an easy and comical read! I come from a video/tv background and ended up being so inspired while reading the book, that I enrolled in a photography course. Although the book primarily focuses on Gary's memoirs, there are some great nuggets of advice that Gary imparts about approaching success. For example, focus on the process, not the result. I would highly recommend this book to photography enthusiasts as well as anyone eager for insight into approaching success in their own life.

10 year old takes his life into his own hands
15. Juli 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I have to admit, I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. I absolutely LOVED this book. Not only is there a great dose of humor, the path that has gotten Mr. Fong to the point he is today is one of the most engaging stories I have read.
Gary's parents were immigrants and wanted nothing but the best for their only child. They struggled after Gary's dad lost his job at Boeing and his mom took to styling and selling wigs, prepping them in their small 600 square foot apartment. Can you imagine everything in your home being covered with the lacquer emitted from hair spray? Gary knew by the age of 10 that he needed to take his life into his own hands.
Many of the aspects of this book are pulled from journals that Gary kept as a child and they are such a unique insight into a man who has truly lived up to his full potential. A keen business mind and the determination to try and make a career out of something that showed him a glimpse of success after college made Gary a millionaire.
This book is one that I would highly recommend - even though it is a work of non-fiction (which is not usually something that I would enjoy to be honest) the style of writing is extremely fluid and full of humor, intelligence, and the drive to succeed.

Excellent memoir - Inspiring, Funny, Smart, Entertaining
15. Mai 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I found this book by accident. I didn't know anything about Gary Fong, but I am so glad I found the book. (Strolling through Barnes & Noble - sorry Amazon!) This book is for everyone, not just for photographers or entrepreneurs. I don't read "making it in business books" so I don't know how this one compares, but it's excellent in that he applies his Zen sensibility and a wonderful creativity to his intelligent approach to business and life. This book kind of has it all: honesty, overcoming adversity, funny stories, success, failure, how a visionary works, cliffhangers, romantic troubles and like a great Hollywood Romantic Comedy - a very, very happy ending! Women will love the romance - men will love his "building an empire" stories. I loved it all. Congratulations, Gary, you are an inspiration and deserve all that you have. And by the way - don't want to burst your bubble - but you DID work very hard. That's the only white lie in this book.
