Help Write a Wall Street Classic

Earlier in the year (or late last year) I told you guys I was focusing on only two goals for 2011: getting in shape and finally writing the book you've been asking me to write for over a year now. Well, I'm 25 pounds lighter now and, lo and behold, I've been working on the book almost non-stop over the past couple months. Now I need your help.

Do me a solid and take a minute to answer the following two (or three, if you wish) survey questions about the book. I really want to make sure it's something you guys want to read and your feedback could go a long way to making it a bestseller. I promise you I will use your feedback, so it's not a waste of time. Give me an idea of whether you're looking for more funny stories, more career insight, more strategy, etc...

Thanks in advance, guys. Your feedback means a lot to me. I'm working hard to make this one of your favorite books. When you've answered the questions, be sure to hit the SUBMIT button rather than leaving your answers in the comments section. But you're free, of course, to leave any comments you like!

 

Done and done. Hook me up, I missed my true calling as a writer because I sure can't do math for shit.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

Same here, can't wait to see what you've got coming out Eddie!

Looks really interesting, is it going to be similar to Monkey Business? Also would love if you could point to your post " How I Landed a Front Office Gig Without a Degree ", couldn't find it.

Yeah I would be intersted as well, I don't even think you can get a backoffice gig w/o a degree lol. But all the stuff that you talk about happened to you? like suing you for 14Mil?

You give me a gift? *BAM* Thank you note! You invite me somewhere? *POW* RSVP! You do me a favor? *WHAM* Favor returned! Do not test my politeness.
 

Well could you at least say a few words? Not about how you got it rather what kind of job was it and do you have a degree now?

Also being sued for 14M sounds interesting too..when are you planning to finish the book?

 
Tar Heel Blue:
Done with the survey. I'm really excited about this, as I know your story will be much different than some of those already out there.
YES - most of what's already out there is from the silver spoon crowd. This would be written by a guy that had to fight his way into the system and then did very well.

Good luck, and please let me read the advance........

Eddie,

This just crossed my mind, but are those who are getting a Free Review Copy getting it autographed by as well for "Book Collector" purposes?

 

Sounds good Eddie, answered your survey. Congrats on slimming down 4HB style too - awesome to hear it worked for you. Would love a review copy of the book when it's ready.

Done with the survey. Judging from your WSO posts, this book will be an interesting read. Would really love a review copy.

 

Guns hookers and fire trucks was the theme of my bar mitzvah. Good chapter title.

Really hoping to get that sneak peak via email! Really looking forward to it Eddie.

Quick Question though. Is there going to be a "moral to the story" at the end, or a personalization to it, rather than just a collection of stories. Just curious as to the nature of the read.

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.
