.The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: Michael E. Gerber

March 03, 1995
I'm only 1/2 way through this book, but have been taking notes along the way. E Myth delivers methodical, but practical sensibility of the big picture for business owners like me. Stop running into the same circles of bad habits and start working ON your business and not IN your business!

City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship

September 01, 1982
The OMM presents a set of tools that a manager needs to use to do his or her job well. The book is short and sweet. It gets to the point without wasting time.

.The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America, Second Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: Warren E. Buffett

April 14, 2008
Without a doubt, The Essays of Warren Buffett : Lessons for Corporate America was a definitive and clear insight into the mind of a genius - just see my review for this first edition. The Second Edition, however, adds another dimension reflective of today's business and investing environment.

Specifically:

Corporate Governance
- addition of "Audit Committees" section. As usual, a frank and down-to-earth assessment of just how honest an "audit committee" can be (it can't) - great addition, brings investors back to reality for believing these jokers.

Corporate Finance and Investing
- addition of "Debt" section, and in particular how Berkshire views debt, a section just about every business owner (home ... Read More:

.Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: T. Harv Eker

February 15, 2005
This book was enjoyable, packed with useful information and a fast, easy read. My husband and I both read it and we are using it to change the way we think about our finances. We are also attending the authors three day FREE workshop this month in New Jersey. When you purchase the book, you get free tickets to his three day workshops that are held all over the US...pretty cool. Highly recommend this to everyone.

.QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability in Work and in Life
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: John G. Miller

September 09, 2004
I found QBQ through Dave Ramsey's radio program. Dave is the Financial Peace guru and author of The Total Money Makeover. I am a big Ramsey fan and I figured if QBQ was mandatory reading for his staff then it should be for me and my team as well. QBQ is a quick read and when actually put into practice can have a dramatic impact on one's personal and professional life. Unfortunately, many people will miss its profound implications because of its simplicity. The fact is, if you're like me, you have very little time to learn new concepts much less put them into practice. If so, you're going to love QBQ. This is something that is simple enough to absorb quickly and practical enough to use every day! As a VP for a large organization I cannot think of a better ... Read More:

.Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: David Einhorn

May 02, 2008
Very boring to read. Explains at length reasoning that leads to short sales. Unless short-selling is of particular interest to you or, if you face an imminent encounter with SEC, this book is unlikely to be of any value to you.

.The Answer: Grow Any Business, Achieve Financial Freedom, and Live an Extraordinary Life
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: John Assaraf, Murray Smith

May 20, 2008
Here is a review that wasnt written by one of the authors in the self help author circle.
The way I found this book to be written was clear, concise and to the point and did an excellent job decribing the how and why scientifically all this is supposed to work on a quantum mind level. I suppose I buy that. I have seen things like that in my life. But I also have doubts, as I am a poker player.
After the world series of poker was won in 2005 we all knew who the winner was. Fossilman was the guys name. It takes incredible skill AND amazing luck to win the world series of poker. With over 20,000 entrants the chances of being the last one standing is pretty small indeed, skill non withstanding. Many of the top pros just dont have the cards go thier ... Read More:

.Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Field Guide for Leaders, Managers, and Facilitators
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: Patrick M. Lencioni

March 10, 2005
"Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Field Guide for Leaders, Managers and Facilitators" represents an interesting idea...that of offering tools and techniques to implement the Model set forth in another one of Patrick Lencioni's books, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable.

In essence, this book offers a guide to implementing the Model noted above without the need to engage the consulting services of Lencioni and his firm. This is a novel, and generous, idea to facilitate the implementation of this Model at a low relative cost (compared to engaging a consulting firm, for example).

The book presents some tangible and easy-to-follow ideas focused on implementing the "Five Dysfunctions" Model. That being said, the ... Read More:

.Raving Fans: A Revolutionary Approach To Customer Service
City Travel Guides > Books > Small Business and Entrepreneurship
by: Ken Blanchard, Sheldon Bowles

May 19, 1993
By definition, a "raving fan" is a customer that is so happy with your company that they praise your actions to anyone who might possibly listen. They are the best form of advertisement and the hardest to acquire. Changing your customer service strategy so that you have raving fans rather than customers is the point of this book and the story is told in parable form.
The two main characters are Area Manager and Charlie, his male fairy "godmother." Using the magic that all fairy godmothers possess, Charlie takes Area Manager to several companies that generate their own raving fans. The strategy is common and ubiquitous across industries; treat your customer as a coveted and valued asset rather than a source of revenue to be squeezed.
Another very important ... Read More:
