Reviews and Praise for It Starts With You

These are some of the reviews from readers who have read It Starts With You. The opinion of my readers and the success they realized by following these proven best-practices could serve as an inspiration for others to take advantage of this unique opportunity to unlock their potential.

Fred Stuvek’s book – It Starts With You – embodies the principles and values instilled at the Naval Academy which is why we provide this book to graduating seniors on the football team. The lessons and advice will be of incalculable value as they embark on their military service and put these principles into action.

Fred has written a course unto itself. Although Fred’s book is required reading for all my master’s students, this book reaches out to anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur and leads them down the path they need to follow to turn their dreams into reality. Rarely does one book do so much for so many, but it applicability is undeniable. My daughter is starting her own business and she is now reading this book, we are closer than we have ever been because we are learning together. The examples cited within are pure gold, successes, failures, day to day living all told simply, dynamically, and realistically as they happened. If you are mentoring someone, you have to read this book and then get it to your mentees!
