"The Self-Reliant Entrepreneur may be the most important and helpful book you’ll ever read. I know that’s a bold statement but after twenty years of entrepreneurship, I’ve come to believe that your level of accomplishment is directly proportional to the amount of responsibility you can handle. I’d never seen a book that addresses this critical issue…until now.  If you’ve had the pleasure of reading John’s previous books, you’ll know that he is practical and down to earth. With The Self-Reliant Entrepreneur, he offers us a beautifully written and respectfully provocative book that I predict will make you delightfully uncomfortable and inspired to reconsider your assumptions—while also thinking bigger about who you are and what you offer the world."

- Michael Port, NY Times, WSJ bestselling author of Steal the Show
