Reader ReviewsMost business books are so deadly dull that when something like Terry Allen's NO CASH NO FEAR comes along, I want to shout my joy from the rooftop! A reviewer here criticized Allen for having failed in so many of his enterprises. So? Isn't it valuable to learn from others' mistakes, as well as from their successes? Another reviewer said that this is good autobiography but bad "how-to." How so? It is certainly good biography, which is what makes Allen a delight to read, but each chapter closes with "lessons learned," and each page is FILLED with "how-to" -- IF you're paying attention. The trick is developing the skill to apply others' experiences to your own business situations. This is a terrific, entertaining, and educational book. And I'm sure I'll be reading it again and again.
