At twenty-seven, Bo Peabody was an Internet multi-millionaire. He has co-founded five different companies, in varied industries, and made them thrive during the best and worst of economic times. Through it all, the one question everyone asks is: Was it his smarts that made him an entrepreneurial leader, or was it just plain luck? The truth is, Bo was smart enough to know when he was getting lucky. And he wants you to have the same advantage. With proven methods for success and a witty, conversational voice, Bo takes the reader through the lessons his experiences as an entrepreneur have taught him. At the heart of Bo's manifesto is a mantra that everyone, whether working for a multinational corporation or a solo start-up, should heed: If you want your business to be successful, make sure your work is fundamentally innovative, morally compelling, and philosophically positive. Lucky or Smart? will teach you how to put yourself in a position to get lucky, create the right situations for success, and take advantage of every opportunity. It is the first truly authentic guide to an entrepreneurial life, a must read for anyone looking for his or her own road to fulfillment.

Review

In 80 pages of entertaining reading, Bo gets down to the essence of entrepreneurial success in a direct and candid manner. I've been involved in venture capital for over 15 years and worked with hundreds of teams and think Bo has hit the nail on the head.Bo's insights as both and company founder and now a venture capitalist are right on the money and will resonate with those born with the entrepreneur gene everywhere. It's not a how-to manual but it will focus your thinking on what you need to do to improve your chances for entreprenurial success in your current or next business venture.

Review

In 80 pages of entertaining reading, Bo gets down to the essence of entrepreneurial success in a direct and candid manner. I’ve been involved in venture capital for over 15 years and worked with hundreds of teams and think Bo has hit the nail on the head.Bo’s insights as both and company founder and now a venture capitalist are right on the money and will resonate with those born with the entrepreneur gene everywhere. It’s not a how-to manual but it will focus your thinking on what you need to do to improve your chances for entreprenurial success in your current or next business venture.

Successful entrepreneurs and their venture capital investors will find themselves nodding in agreement on almost every page. If you don’t find yourself doing the same when you read it, give a copy to a successful entrepreneur or venture capitalist that you know and trust, then ask their opinion.

An essential read for every entrepreneur. –Paul McManus (Boston, MA USA)

This is one of the best business books I’ve ever read. It conveys highly insightful, meaningful ideas in a remarkably concise and common-sense way. No droaning on with complex business models or contrived new management theories. Peabody simply shares his views of what makes a successful entrepreneur and manager, and the importance of understanding the value of diverse personalities and skill sets. The ideas it contains are motivating, entertaining and invaluable. I’ve purchased several copies for colleagues. I highly recommend it.
This was truly one of the best business books I have read in ages. It was filled with humor and timeless truths which are communicated from a very personal perspective. It is this perspective which allows the reader to immediately identify with the message.

The good Mr. Peabody has struck gold many times in his professional career…he has allowed us a glimpse into the personality traits, and the psyche, which have allowed him to take advantage of these opportunities.

It was just fantastic…hysterical, yet the messages never lost in the comedic presentation. Every entrepreneur from 15 to 60 needs to read this piece…it reads like a very funny Aesop’s fable for the business world.

I enjoy reading stories about entrepreneurs and the (sometimes) crazy stuff they do. Bo Peabody is a crazy and, might I add, highly entertaining, entrepreneur. Bo made wads of cash selling his internet company Tripod at the height of the bubble. He was in his mid 20s.”Lucky or Smart” is a small book, in length no greater than a weekend NY Times magazine article. The tone is positive, irreverent, and homely. There is some classic diatribe. For example, in talking about the corrosive effects of Blackberry’s on the concentration span of executives nowadays, he recommends that smart entrepreneurs send them to competitors to rob them of their power of thought (p45). Sad but very likely true.

Bo sees the business world as made up of A-students and B-students, the former being primarily managers, the latter entrepreneurs. Each plays a very important role in a new venture. There is a symbiotic relationship between the two, with the B-students pushing the envelope, selling, and ignoring accepted wisdom in search of new frontiers, while the A-students refine and focus based on the view in the rear-view mirror.

There isn’t a lot in the way of inspiration or guidance but Bo shows us that you can be lucky or you can be smart, and a truly smart person realizes when she’s getting lucky and capitalizes on it.

If you enjoyed “Dot Con” by John Cassidy, “Dot Bomb” by J. David Kuo, or “A Good Hard Kick in the Ass” by Rob Adams, you might enjoy Bo’s book.
