High school dropout turned self-made multimillionaire and five-time CEO, Comaford-Lynch presents an upbeat, irreverent business book for entrepreneurs, free spirits and eponymous renegades. Focusing on passionate young people who have grit and vision but limited experience and/or resources, the author presents practical, step-by-step advice for starting a company, making it in a cutthroat environment and reaching life goals in record time, while recounting her entertaining, often hilarious life story. To some extent, all first-time CEOs are making it up as they go along, she says. Sure enough, she's found herself brazening her way through plenty of bizarre and touching situations: hiring employees before she actually has a firm; posing as a man to score a programming job in the macho world of '80s Microsoft; dating Bill Gates to learn confidence; making (and losing) millions of dollars through guts, sales know-how and force of personality. Emphasizing visualization and self-confidence, she tackles the spiritual issues of prosperity as well as the down-and-dirty details of payroll and writing a killer business plan. Entrepreneurs and leaders at all levels of their careers will find this inspiring, rags-to-riches story as pleasurable to read as it is thought provoking. |

As an entrepreneur, Comaford-Lynch has built and sold five of her own businesses and served as a board of director or advisor to 36 start-ups. She has also invested in more than 200 start-ups as a venture capitalist, counseled 700 of the Fortune 1,000 and the Clinton White House, all without either a high-school diploma or college degree. With a background as a teenage runaway, Buddhist monk, and software engineer for Microsoft and Apple, her unique vision allows for a seat-of-the-pants style of management that is both refreshing and invigorating. The book combines humorous, fast-paced anecdotes with practical advice obtained from a whirlwind career building several million-dollar businesses from scratch before the age of 40, including an $8 million business loss and other failures and rejections that provided important life lessons. With an irreverent style all her own, Comaford-Lynch forges ahead with a stream of inspirational advice that readers will want to turn to often in times of both struggle and success. |

I often wonder why we continue to read books written from theorists, professors and the like when we know what moves us in business is to read from those with real world experience. Christine hits the mark in a unique and extraordinary fashion.
This was obviously written for those who continue to seek higher levels of success! This book is not for the faint of heart as it is hard hitting and tells it the way it is! If you do not like an "in your face" "raw" style... this book is not for you.
If you want to read something truly authentic... Rules for Renegades will re-inspire to what you are seeking in business, life and anything else that may trip the light bulb. I loved her GSD degree and it reminded me to build a system around that very principle. I personally have purchased over 100 copies for my friends, business colleagues and clients. |

This book has shown me that nothing can stop you from your dreams. Things may slow you down, but you can always keep going. Christine's story was entertaining and exciting. I kept wondering "What else can happen to this lady?" I read it cover to cover and laughed the entire time. The best part about the book is that you don't realize that you're learning. I find myself applying her "Rules" to my everyday life. She rocks! Read it! |

I picked up Christine Comaford-Lynch's book last night and just finished it. Why do I say that it is three books in one? Because it is part autobiographical, part self-help, and part biz how-to. Quite frankly, I doubt there's little I'd agree upon with the author when it comes to politics or religion but that's not the point. In telling her story, she weaves in major events in her life that involve both. The biz how-to sections contain practical advice from the school of hard knocks. What impressed me the most about the book was the self-help aspects because she focuses on getting your inner game right to succeed in life and business. And if you dislike every single page except the last two quoting Mother Teresa, the book deserves a five star rating for that quote alone. Memorize it. Apply it. Make a difference. |

The most interesting about this book is that it is a story of how not to let seemingly insurmountable obstacles stop you. Its an amazing story of how a high school drop out can achieve enviable success through hard work and hutzpah. What I particularly like about this book is the freshness of the writing and the message for many "renegades" who feel disenfranchised because of lack of the proper schools, etc. I think this will be a helpful tool for many people. As the co-founder of 2 successful Silicon Valley companies and now the owner with my wife of O'Brien Estate winery, it was great to be reminded to start innovating as fast as I can rather than staying in lockstep with my competitors. |
