failures are pathways to success, and are living examples that anything is possible.
Brian Schwartz has always been fascinated by those who risk it all and do whatever it takes to fulfill their vision. Through this project, not only was he able to spend more time with a
community of people he admires, but he was also able to share their wisdom and insights with you the readers. The intent is that someone, somewhere will be will inspired to take action
themselves.

If you have a desire to be your own boss, to carve your own path in life, than these interviews are bound to make that fire you have deep inside grow larger! I hope my book empowers you with the tool to make you take the next step, whether you are a student, armchair entrepreneur, or even the accidental entrepreneur. Goodluck!"

"When my daughter died, I decided that there was nothing else the world could ever take from me that mattered as much. It was from that experience that I developed a fearless strength to
conquer the world of business and take the necessary risks to be successful." - Donna Visocky
"My biggest fear in life was to die at a desk of a job I hated. Don’t waste your time in a job you don’t enjoy. If you woke up and were told ‘today is the last day of your
life’, would you go into work? If the answer is no, then your in the wrong job. If you don’t wake up everyday a little scared, than you aren’t living to your fullest
potential. Fear doesn’t paralyze entrepreneurs." - Jon Payne

Inspiration
The genesis of the book came from my wife, Debi. After 10 years in sales, I told her I was tired of making other people wealthy. I was tired of 'renting' (being an employee) and wanted to 'own' (become the employer). There was a pattern emerging where I no longer felt in control of my earnings as an employee. As the primary bread winner for our family, she wasn't going to give me her blessing until I talked to 50 entrepreneurs so that I knew what I was really getting myself into. Originally when I began doing the interviews, I was just gathering information to find out if I was cut out to be an entrepreneur. After about the 5th interview, people kept asking me what I was going to do with the information I gathered. They suggested I write it down and put it in a book! From that 50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs was born!!
