The fact that KISS is one of the most successful rock bands in the world is no accident. From the beginning Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had a clear-cut vision of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to operate KISS as a business well before they ever first took the stage. Since deciding with Paul to manage the band themselves, Simmons has proved himself to be a formidable businessman and master of branding, having sold over 100 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, overseen over 3,000 licensed merchandise items, and starred in the longest running celebrity reality show to date. More impressive is that he handles all of his business ventures on his own—no personal assistant, few handlers, and as little red tape as possible.
In Me, Inc., a masterclass in entrepreneurship, Simmons shares a lifetime of field-tested and hard-won business advice that will provide readers with the tools needed to build a solid business strategy, master your personal finance, harness the countless tools available in the digital age, network like hell, and be the architect for the business entity that is you. Inspired by The Art of War, the book dispenses Simmons’ in-depth insights via thirteen specific success principles based on his own experience, triumphs, and instructional failures in business—from finding the confidence within yourself that’s necessary to get started, to surrounding yourself with the right people to partner with and learn from, to knowing when to pull the plug and when to double-down. These thirteen principles are a skeleton key into a world of success, freedom, peace of mind and, most importantly, financial success.

Timeless Insights Told in a Straight-Forward Fashion
For a person who made his career wearing make-up and acting a part, Gene Simmons pulls no punches and tells it as-it-is about money, entrepreneurship, and success. While other books get into the mindset aspect of success and achievement better then “Me, Inc.” (such as J.F. Straw’s “Mustard Seeds, Shovels, & Mountains”), what Mr. Simmons brings to the table are the right-under-your-nose, practical means to success — and money — that most overlook whilst they look for the magic bullet that will catapult them there. Ideas such as constantly learning, saving money, not wasting money, and having internal drive and confidence are key points; adapting, conforming, and playing the proper role are brought to the forefront in an in-your-face, yet never rude, manner. I wish I had this book when I was in my late-teens or early-twenties. I’m glad I read it now, because “Me, Inc.” is a good kick in the pants for those who not only wish but WANT to achieve more.
Me, Inc
This is a very good book. Finished it in a week. Gene Simmons certainly knows how to earn & invest money. He tells you how ANYBODY can make it in America, if they work hard enough, & he is living proof. There are no shortcuts or handouts. You EARN everything you have & want. & ALWAYS surround yourself with good people.
