Overview

"John Shen is unique among American entrepreneurs. Founder of five startups and currently leading four of them simultaneously, he is a ""parallel entrepreneur,"" going far beyond the usual model of being a solo or serial entrepreneur. He is a first-generation entrepreneur who came to the US at the age of 23 and achieved the American Dream of success. Along the way, he also experienced total business collapse and knows what it is like to come back from failure, to ""cross the swamp."" In this book, John recounts his dramatic life story and the three phases of his extraordinary entrepreneurial journey to success. Through the chapters, he details the eight personal and business qualities that entrepreneurs must develop in order to achieve their highest goals. John's focus is especially on explaining the significant advantages of being a parallel entrepreneur--benefits that solo and serial entrepreneurs lose out on, limiting their potential."
