On a Roll - 9781600109522

An enterprising kid from the Bronx, Howard had one simple - but smart - idea that revolutionized telecommunications. He pioneered what is now an over-a-billion-dollar-a-year-industry, successfully fought off AT&T's aggressive attempts to pull the plug on his operation - then took his own start-up company public, to net over $100 million for himself. And it all began with a hot dog stand, as Jonas relates in this effervescent account of how he became the milionaire nextdoor. "Mr. Jonas enjoys playing David to any Goliath in sight." - The Economist "An Edisonian visionary" - New York Mag. "Score one for the little guy." - Forbes "The advice should prove illuminating and the adventure inspirational to anyone following, or contemplating, a similar self-made journey." - Howard Rothman "Readers won't fail to admire the author's drive, and some will enjoy his humorous approach..." - Publisher's Weekly This book is an entertaining, enlightening, occasionally intense first-person glimpse at Howard's take on life. Look at the world through his eyes and you're guaranteed to see things differently.
