Entry level business advice

Revisado: 02-19-25

Entry-level business advice. The book is perfectly lovely and easy to read. The business advice contained within is good if not a little trite and cliché. I would say this book is most practical for young people looking to get into sales or business fresh. Beyond that, it’s probably a little too basic to be useful. To give you an idea, there are entire chapters dedicated to job applications, how to ask for a raise and generally just how to be a decent person. If you have a strong fan appreciation of Robert Herjavec and Shark Tank, it’s probably entertaining insights into his life and career. Otherwise, if you’re looking for more advanced business and sales insight, there are probably other tomes that will serve you better.

One of the stronger business books out there

Revisado: 10-10-24

Fantastic rock solid principles. Both practical and high-level advice for any business that will help them succeed. A couple of the concepts and chapters get a little wonky. And one of the two narrators can be a little over the top, but all in all this is one of the best business books out there, and I read a lot

One of the best audiobooks and biographies I’ve heard

Revisado: 06-07-24

A book as epic, thorough and profound as Walt Disney himself. Not to be missed.

Nonsense. A web of semantics 

Revisado: 04-05-24

A useless exercise in semantics. No actual concrete and valuable insight in this book. The whole thing is working against itself to redefine terms.

Good, not great

Revisado: 08-10-23

This is obviously an extremely well researched book. And the findings seem solid in principle. However, I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling of vagueness in the primary “insights“throughout. Court tenants like “disciplined action,” “disciplined team”, “the hedgehog concept“, of course they make sense, but are they useful? Do you want to take your health to greatness and lose 20 pounds and some bad habits? All it takes is disciplined action! Problem solved. Want to have a successful company? Just follow the hedgehog concept! All you need is passion, the ability to be the best at it, and an idea that makes money. It’s a simple as that! Now, I fully understand that my sarcasm may be more a result of the fact that a lot of the concepts here really are that simple, and to be fair to the book and its author, they do an excellent job at illustrating exactly why that simplicity works. I just think the author spends so much of the book explaining to you why these insights are big revelations and how they came to these big breakthrough findings. How very un- “Level 5 Leader” of them.

Corporate goon mumbo jumbo

Revisado: 07-13-23

Waste of time unless you’re already a CEO or high level corporate executive concerned with stock splits, mergers, hiring and firing executives, and navigating layoffs. Boring stories from a corporate stooge whose biggest accomplishment was saving a 90s tech company from bankruptcy , yet portrays himself as a groundbreaking entrepreneur worthy of being an inspirational role model. Pass.

Maybe the best marketing book I’ve read yet

Revisado: 02-20-23

Clear, tangible ideas and strategies for how to make messages stick. My only criticism is perhaps the book being a little long in the tooth with a few extra “stories”, which is a core points of the book that maybe the authors took the heart a little too seriously, so the book felt may be a little longer than it needed to be. But that’s a very small quibble in an otherwise profoundly insightful deep dive at what makes us remember certain ideas.

Extremely valuable book for advertisers and business leaders

Revisado: 02-09-23

One of the better books on marketing/advertising/brand of element highbred. Well the overall book is pretty tight, the middle section about emotion and story gets a little bloated and drags a bit. You can tell the author is trying to show off the fact that they actually did some research that’s applicable, but sometimes it feels a little unnecessary and I’d rather they just getting to the point. That said, it is small complaint in otherwise excellent and practically useful book.

Just another pop psychology book

Revisado: 02-03-23

While it does contain some useful (if perhaps obvious) points, in the end this is just another mediocre pop psychology book. With skin-deep research and tired, dubious examples (Richard Branson, Andy Warhol, Scientology, Tony Robins), you constantly feel like you’re just a word-count distance from a BuzzFeed article.

A decent business book ruined by a cartoonish reading

Revisado: 02-03-23

The best part of this book is its relentless effort at getting you to think about business from the customer perspective, which it does convincingly. Sadly, this decent book on business is completely marred by the narration. This gentlemen would be better suited in radio or television, where cartoonish characters are surely needed much more than in Audiobooks. Less the fault of the narrator than perhaps the producer/publisher that cast him, the voice becomes an incredibly distracting and ridiculous presence, even while the content is strong. As far as the material, Its business advice outside of the customer acquisition process is a little thin, but that’s ok: its thorough breakdown of acquiring customers and the importance of that process makes it worth it. But I’d recommended this book in written form. Crossing fingers one day they re record the audiobook.
