Review: Le Deal by J. Byrne Murphy

/

In an age of inspired entrepreneurship, Le Deal by J. Bryne Murphy is one of those books that you might want to sit down and absorb. Many go into their big dreams with high expectations, big ambitions but don’t understand that there might be many failures before their upward peak of success. I didn’t catch this memoir when it was first published a decade ago, but the insight and valuable lessons are timeless. 

Murphy’s confidence while risking everything to bring an unknown concept internationally is the type of heart and determination every entrepreneur should have. Initially risking everything, including his family, to pursue this concept paid off but not without obstacles along the way. The turbulent waters of politics, foreign relations, and threats to his success may have detoured his journey but never been defeated. Through his trial and error, Murphy chronicles his journey creating a multi billion dollar concept that trailblazed the industry and inspired other ventures. Not ever giving up even when he was close to losing everything, I found this to be such an inspirational memoir that will empower anyone especially those that have long term goals in business to keep fighting for what you believe in despite it not seeming reachable.

Overall, I thought the book was very insightful and inspirational. This book can be read by anyone but I feel that it will be more valuable to those with an interest in the business genre as well as those involved or wanted to pursue a business.
