The #1 national bestseller from the former co-star of Dragons' Den and co-star of Shark Tank Robert Herjavec has lived the classic “rags to riches” story, from having $20 in his pocket to starting up technology companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Now the star of television’s Dragons’ Den and Shark Tank , this son of Croatian immigrants earned his incredible wealth by overcoming the odds with hard work and determination. On television, Herjavec bankrolls the best inventions and shoots down the best of intentions. Now, he’s sharing his hard-won wisdom in one of the most inspirational business books of recent times. In Driven , Herjavec shares the secrets that took him from his job waiting tables to growing his nascent technology company into a world-class conglomerate, The Herjavec Group. Herjavec’s principles are as valuable in the living room as they are in the boardroom. Anyone can succeed, on their own terms, by following his sage but simple advice—if they’re willing to take chances, to take control of their own future and to stay true to their own visions.

Really pleased
Glad I chose to read this book, as a shark tank fan and Canadian Dragons Den fan, I have always wondered what made Robert tick and I am glad he shared his thoughts, principles and work ethics in this book, as well as deeply personal experiences. Some great practical advice. (poor Kevin, get's quite a bit of bashing :))

Behind the Wheel
With tons of lists and a clear focus, Robert Herjavek inspires us with advice, metaphors, and stories in his book Driven: How to Succeed in Business and Life. The book can tend to get repetitive now and again, but I would chalk this up to Herjavek's desire to get his points across. Given his background, it makes complete sense that he would write this book and do all he could to reach those reading it with clear messages. He has seen so many successes and failures, good choices and terrible ones, and knows of a lot of people or businesses where the results lined up with the rules and a few anomalies to them. More importantly he has done it all himself. He is clearly knowledgeable about the pursuit of entrepreneurship, a great reason on its own to read his book. But better still, he has lived it, been on both sides of it even- having also starred on Shark Tank and Dragon's Den where he decides what the profits of his entrepreneurial success will be invested in as venture capital.He is very careful in the book to make counter points to what he believes, showing that his word is in no way law. I noticed that he made sure to remain respectful of people even when disagreeing with them. Although this is something I'm sure many intend to do, I rarely find myself reading about how much the writer respects that somebody did this even though they never would. He is very aware that his way isn't the only way of doing something and his life isn't the only way to live. Herjavek wasn't just full of tips for successful business though. He gave us some life advice and insight he had picked up along the way. Robert Herjavek acted as a guide to what it takes to make it and the proof of the validity of his advice can be found not only in his examples, but also in himself. There are many important factors that contribute to the success of one's company. The most important is a passion for the business.
