Immigrant Hustle: How 50 Entrepreneurs Came to America and Built Something Out of Nothing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228819578)

IS THE AMERICAN DREAM STILL ALIVE?

THE STORIES IN THIS BOOK OFFER A RESOUNDING "YES "

This collection of interviews with 50 successful immigrant entrepreneurs from all over the world provides proof that the American dream is not only alive and well, but thriving. Furthermore, these stories show the great wealth - financial and cultural - that immigrants can offer the United States.

This country was founded by immigrants who set off to make a better life for themselves. Similarly, many of these innovators left behind war-torn countries, failing economies, and political unrest to find financial and personal security for themselves and their families. Along with them, they brought the wisdom and insight of their cultures, the sobriety of their perspectives on life, and an unending passion for innovation and hard-work. On top of almost unanimously coming to the country without speaking the language, these enterprising business owners were jailed, took bullets, and overcame incurable diseases, all on their journey to becoming successful entrepreneurs. They hail from Mexico, Russia, Somalia, Afghanistan, China, Argentina, Lebanon, France, India, Kenya, Haiti, and several other countries, and they represent a wide swath of industries including healthcare, finance, cosmetics, fashion, food & beverage, technology and more.

Whether you're in need of motivation to start your own business, or you're wondering if the US is still a great place to do business, you'll find this book full of actionable and inspiring advice that will help save you time and money on your path to becoming an entrepreneur in America.
