The New Entrepreneurz: Changing the Way You Play Life

Life is a game. You just have to know how to play it—your way. The New Entrepreneurz contains no secret formulas, magic incantations, or a one-size-fits-all approach to making the most of your life and opportunities. What works for one person won’t necessarily work for another and where one person is heading isn’t necessarily where you want to be headed. This book helps you mark the X on your map and find your unique way to the life you’ve always wanted. The New Entrepreneurz teaches you how to read the map, equipping you with the vision to spot both opportunities and threats, and with the sword to fight your inner and outer dragons, so you can build the bridges, create opportunities, and reach your ultimate destination.

The New Entrepreneurz explores entrepreneurial thinking in an entirely new way. Not limited to simply business, entrepreneurial thinking can drive how we live our lives every day, regardless of where or how we work. Ronen Gafni and Simcha Gluck, creators of internationally acclaimed entrepreneurial game FreshBiz, share the underlying fundamentals of what it means to develop and nurture an entrepreneurial mind-set. Approaching life, business, and our daily challenges as a game can be an extremely powerful and freeing experience. Learning to see the obstacles in front of us as merely steps in a larger game can help us to capitalize on opportunities we didn’t see and eliminate stress that we don’t need.

Entrepreneurial thinking can create a new path to personal growth and happiness that is unique to your circumstances. Success is not measured by monetary gains or social status, but simply by achieving what you set out to do—winning your own game. The New Entrepreneurz is an illuminating and refreshing take on how to live a successful and rewarding life, loaded with real-world examples and the fundamental principles of a creative game that is changing the world.
