Читать книгу Millionaire Within - E. Brian Rose - Страница 8

FOREWORD

The year was 1995, and the Internet was the new frontier. Like the 19th century wild west, the first Internet gold rush saw unprecedented venture capital poured into anything with a dotcom at the end of its name. And like the early settlers, there were fortunes made… and lost.

There were only 18,000 websites in the entire world in 1995, and I was fortunate enough to have created one of them. While I have enjoyed great success on the Internet, my version of the wild west was like a John Wayne film. The bad guy done someone wrong, the damsel in distress needed rescuin’, and at The Duke’s command a posse was sent out to procure justice. Like these early Hollywood versions of the west, there were casualties, but not a lot of blood.

The same can’t be said of E. Brian Rose. His Internet and entrepreneurial exploits play out more like Clint Eastwood’s film, Unforgiven. Gritty. Raw. Casualties. This is the Internet Wild, Wild West portrayed as a real-life gold rush with larger-than-life characters, of which “EBR” has earned the right to tell.

From the warn-torn battlefields of Somalia to the relationship-scarred partnership feuds of the Internet, E. Brian Rose has been on the front lines as a participant, and a witness, to people, places and incidents that sound like they were scripted for a Hollywood film. But they weren’t. This the true story of a man who saw gold in them thar hills, and grabbed his pick, trusty six-shooter, modem, mouse and keyboard to chisel out a place in Internet history.

From software and ebay to private placements and creating a powerhouse of an affiliate network, EBR spins story after story of interesting characters (punctuated by his own “colorful” style of story-telling).

So saddle up, cowboys and cowgirls. Gather ‘round the campfire and listen up as Uncle Brian shares the good, the bad and the ugly of the online world. It’s inspiring and enlightening, but it t’aint always purty.

One thing is for sure. It’s all real, but the good guy isn’t about to ride off into the sunset. While he’s covered a lot of ground already, you be sure that this is just the beginning for E. Brian Rose.

Set a spell with Brian, and remember that if you ask Mr. Taggart for a can of beans, likely he’ll tell you that you’ve had enough.

Entrepreneurship is a journey. It’s a mindset, a lifestyle, and an adventure.

It is a never ending course of learning that no school on earth could possibly teach. You must live it to understand it.

You must be willing to take a leap down a rabbit hole that leads to a place where everything goes against what the average person believes.

Once inside, you will experience disappointment, failure, and sometimes even disaster. However, it is a path you must be willing to take if you truly want to experience independence and absolute freedom.
