Customer Reviews
I trust him, he’s a consultant!
Throughout the book, nuggets of truth, wisdom, humor and insightful things on life all told through a memoir-esque style.
I finished my first go through in 2 days- an easy read, to say the least.
My favorite is the comparison of corporations being an army and small business being special forces- however I’d rebuttal (due to bias) every branch has special forces, small business are more like the marine corps- the tip of the spear, the first ones in the market to crash, burn, and also thrive and prevail. I digress…
It’s a fantastic book and regardless of your profession, should take the time to read it! Trust me, or don’t.
