Testimonial
Kees Amsterdam - Entrepreneur & Journalist

Stay on track

Brutally honest, sometimes felt like reading your diary. The stress of a scale up is recognizable. Deep respect that you shared your story which hopefully helps others to stay on track. I think for everybody doubting to be an entrepreneur (with employees) and all entrepreneurs that are scaling your story is a must read. This is the hard truth, a rollercoaster with high peaks and sometimes bigger lows!
Martin Zwolle - Tech Entrepreneur & CFO

Onvervalste pageturner

In dit boek vertelt de ex-marinier openhartig over de stress die de start-up hem oplevert, en de tropenjaren die hij er beleeft. Nou, het zijn bepaald niet alleen maar zonnige jaren, zo laat Brouwer overtuigend blijken in deze onvervalste pageturner.
Peter Boerman - Werf&
Brutal honest

This is a story about mistakes, weakness  and bad choices by very successful entrepreneur but really is learning about strength and courage to be brutal honest about oneself. Its shockingly near to reality of entrepreneurs these times. 

You get coached while reading. guaranteed.
