This book is a story about how two students in Wharton School of Business, John Lusk and Kyle Harrison, decided to walk the path of entrepreneurship despite their MBAs. Kyle Harrison had come up with the idea of making a computer mouse that looked like the head of a golf driver: hence the name MouseDriver. Knowing hardly anything about manufacturing and distribution, they work passionately to make their business a success, making mistakes on the way but also learning from them. Platinum Concepts, their company, doesn't make them into millionaires, but it becomes a moderate success in two years, and this is where the book ends.
After reading this, I'm not sure whether I'm intrigued to follow a career of entrepreneurship. Being an entrepreneur definitely sounds exciting, because you get to do whatever you want, and you can earn a lot of money, but it is also very risky. While reading, I thought about what I should learn in college; I would ideally like to study either religious, political or international studies, but I'm not sure whether studying these will give me financial security. Should I face reality, and pursue an education that will feed me, such as a MBA? Leaving the speculations aside, I'd like to comment that I liked finding out how was the life of an entrepreneur, but other than that, I feel that I haven't learnt much from reading this book.
