Fire Your Boss and Become a Lifestyle Entrepreneur or Digital Nomad
Fire Your Boss and Become a Lifestyle Entrepreneur or Digital Nomad

Review:Jonathan lays out a clear road map for those who want to become self employed. The book is somewhat long winded and, from my point of view, could use some editing. On balance, however, it achieved its objectives. Read more

How to make money from home and grow your income fast
How to make money from home and grow your income fast

Review:This book is easy to follow, has a nice syntactical and grammatical flow, and is full of optimism. However, I believe the title is a little misleading, as it doesn't deal with using the computer in general to make money. Rather, it is about only one way to use your computer to make money: SEO writing. Read more

Sell and Build Your Network Marketing Business With Stories
Sell and Build Your Network Marketing Business With Stories

Review:The author is right on--stories grip attention and have more power to sell than do facts. Some of the stories he author uses are personal experience, and those are the best. Others are from jokes and fables, and those can work too. But the best advice is to start gathering your own stories. Until then, most of these stories will work to motivate you, help you abandon your excuses, and make your prospects think too.

Big Al makes the point well--what counts is not what you say so much as wh... Read more

The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business
The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business

Review:This book provides good insight into how one can better their business education without going into lots of debt to get a MBA. It also has lots of sound business knowledge/concepts that can help you grow and learn. Yes, you won't get a certificate even if you finish all the books on the reading list (currently it's at 99) but you'll be more educated so this is something each of us has to consider. I enjoy the flexibility of reading at my own pace and not taking on more student loans. For me, it'... Read more

and cheaper than yours (and what to do about it) - Why new organizations are ten times better
and cheaper than yours (and what to do about it) - Why new organizations are ten times better

Review:I agree with a number of other reviewers that this book is a "must read". It's a "must read" because it fills a hole in the literature on technological change, organisations and strategy. It does this by bringing together a discussion of the following into a single, comprehensive, instructional volume:

> the exponential nature of technological change
> the exponential impact and scale being achieved by organisations exhibiting a distinctive, new set of features (Exponential Org... Read more

Marketing and Selling Disruptive Products to Mainstream Customers (Collins Business Essentials)
Marketing and Selling Disruptive Products to Mainstream Customers (Collins Business Essentials)

Review:The point of greatest peril in the development of a high-tech market lies in making the transition from an "early market" dominated by a few visionary customers to a "mainstream market" dominated by a large block of customers who are predominantly pragmatists in orientation, according to Geoffrey Moore in the third edition of this book. The gap between early and mainstream markets is what the author refers to as the "chasm", and many entrepreneurial businesses have fallen into it.

I Love Capitalism!: An American Story
I Love Capitalism!: An American Story

Review:It was an excellent book but it does, perhaps unintentionally, show what is wrong with Boards of Directors. Bob Nardelli was CEO of The Home Depot for 7 years and while sales doubled, the stock was essentially flat, while employee morale was low. What point is a BOD of they are not overseeing how the CEO is running the company. It should not having taken 7 years to realize they were off the track and get rid of a CEO.

It was a very interesting read and shows that with hard work and persev... Read more
