Synopsis

Kevin O'Leary shares invaluable secrets on entrepreneurship, business, money and life.

Can you make millions just by "visualizing yourself rich" as some business prophets suggest? Don't buy it, says Kevin O'Leary. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur and amass wealth, you're going to have to work for it. But the good news is: with the right guidance, focus and perseverance, you can turn entrepreneurial vision into lucrative reality and have the personal freedom that only wealth can buy.

Kevin O'Leary would know. The much-feared and revered Dragon on the immensely popular show Dragons' Den (and Shark Tank in the U.S.) started his company in his basement with a $10,000 loan from his financially savvy mother. A few years later, Kevin sold that company for more than four billion dollars. In this compelling, candid and, above all else, brutally honest business memoir, Kevin provides engaging, practical advice and lessons that will give anyone a distinct competitive edge.

About this title

Review:

"O'Leary's book reads exactly like he talks on Dragon's Den. He's a consummate marketer, so it's no surprise he does a masterful job of telling his life story with the right mix of swagger and humility. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for his business acumen, drive and determination. And if you're an aspiring entrepreneur or someone who's debating whether to pursue your passion, you'll get some invaluable advice and cold hard truth for the bargain price of just $29.95."
--Hamilton Spectator

"[Kevin O'Leary] is a master at relaying the cold, hard truth to people, even when it makes them cry and stomp their feet. That's why the title of his new memoir, Cold Hard Truth, cuts to the heart of his philosophy of life and money, which really boils down to one thing: focus on making cash or get out of business."
--Chatelaine
