Review:

Bob Mayer's life is an exciting path of true entrepreneurship success. I read with pleasure Bob's personal stories of real estate deals, Vegas connections and high-flying hilarity. I had a front-row seat throughout this transformation from the sleepy oil town of laid-back surfers at Golden Bear to a vibrant Huntington Beach made possible through Bob's vision and perseverance. --Jim Silva, California Assemblyman, former Huntington Beach Mayor and Council Member

It takes a special kind of person to triumph over the bureaucratic barricades, ego-driven decision making, and unpredictable market forces that make or break entrepreneurs. Bob Mayer did that and kept his sense of humor while doing it. His book offers fascinating insights into his business success, even including his dreams and nightmares the night before a big deal. He shows his agony and his elation. Most of all, he shares his positive spirit that is so evident in all he has done. --Dana Rohrabacher, Member of Congress, 46th District-CA
