Bulldog - Spirit of the New Entrepreneur (HarperCollins) was Ellie Rubin's first book. Offering a bold, new design for the way people think about the business they do, this book quickly became a no. 1 national best seller. The phrase "I ENTREPRENEUR" coined by Ellie Rubin is the mantra for the new millennium.

Well-known and admired for her ability to profit from the convergence of technology, design and business, as well as her intuitive skill in identifying opportunities and assessing risk, Ellie Rubin propelled both herself and her company to the forefront of new media technology. Based in the Silicon Valley for five years, Rubin not only raised $30M of venture and strategic funding, but she evangelized the process through the telling of her own story as well as through the experiences of other experts she has met along the way. She has come to understand that every 'new' entrepreneur is in the same business - the business of change. By identifying the pivotal trigger points for successfully navigating through change, she explains how "entrepreneuring" is all about embracing risk and imbalance, about mastering interpretation not invention - and delineates how to turn the relentless challenges that we all face into a journey that is graced with what she refers to as "angels of advantage".

Through real-life stories that involve some of the world's top technology companies, Bulldog reveals that no matter what business or industry you are in, it is the entrepreneurial mindset that creates success. The ideas in this book comprise the essential guide for the ambitious. It is a roadmap for turning competitive advantage into richly deserved success.

Building on the success of her national best seller, Bulldog - Spirit of the New Entrepreneur (HarperCollins), Ellie Rubin once again combines her hands-on experience, engaging storytelling, and tenacious journalistic curiosity in her newest authoritative blueprint for the ambitious - Ambition - 7 Rules for Getting There (Penguin).

Ellie Rubin's second book is packed with fascinating profiles of internationally known personalities, including Po Bronson, best selling author of What Should I do With My Life?; Anthony Zuiker, creator of Jerry Bruckheimer's CSI, the #1 dramatic TV series; international designer, Tricia Guild; Jerry Mitchell, top choreographer on Broadway (Gypsy, Hairspray); Andrew Watson, director of creation for Cirque du Soleil; Olympic gold medallist Elena Berezhnaya; Jim Balsillie, chairman and co-CEO of Research in Motion; Chan Hon Goh, principal dancer of the National Ballet of Canada; Princess Di's clairvoyant, Rita Rogers; and restaurateur, Stephen Starr (Buddakan). Using these examples of "designed" ambition, Ellie demonstrates how to become an "ambitionist" and turn raw ambition into managed success.

By outlining the 7 rules of ambition - discovery, focus, belonging, momentum, balance, maturity, and belief - Rubin challenges readers to redefine success according to their own personal approach. Provocative and compelling, Rubin's 7 rules show how to differentiate between desire and skill, how to leverage the importance of mentors and team members, how to find a balanced use of time, and how to bounce back from failure.

Designed for every careerist "from the seasoned professional to the student just entering the workforce" Ambition is a philosophical, intelligent, entertaining, and ultimately practical roadmap for those intent on harnessing their inner drive to create unprecedented success. Along the way, they will be entertained.
