Each year, Americans start one million new businesses, nearly 80 percent of which fail within the first five years. Under such pressure to stay alive—let alone grow—it’s easy for entrepreneurs to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of "sell it—do it, sell it—do it" that leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and unable to get ahead no matter how hard they try. Full of stories of other successful entrepreneurs, The Pumpkin Plan guides you through unconventional strategies to help you build a truly profitable blue-ribbon company that is the best in its field.

Great business plan. Great book. Even better as an audio book, with Mike Motorbike adding in bonus content and comments as he goes.
The only thing I would change is the occasional foul language. I know Mike warns at the beginning, and yes, it does happen in business, but I still prefer my books without it. Having to skip listening to them in the presence of younger ears, when there is so much content that children could benefit from in here, bugs me. But still a great book. Thanks, Mike! - Steve

Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world. How did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room—and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality.

Thank you Will! The last time I worked in a restaurant was at McDonald's back in high school and my first summer back during my first year of college. Doesn't matter though. As a business owner, this was so good to listen to! Will does an incredible job of reading it. The audio book wins in my vote versus a written page. If you have the book, get this audio version as well!
Also makes me envious of all those who had the opportunity to have experienced EMP back when Will was there. I'm confident though that other restaurants will be the better thanks to Will's work in the industry, so it's a win for all of us!

During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, and when the train arrived at his destination, the rough draft was done. The depth of this book has made it an enduring favorite.

What an amazing book. If you are a believer, make sure you complete the full book. In my opinion, this should be part of every Christian's reading repertoire. If you are curious about Christianity, I think this is a great read for you as well.

Power is changing. Private corner offices and management by decree are out, as is unquestioned trust in the government and media. These former pillars of traditional power have been replaced by networks of informed citizens who collectively wield more power over their personal lives, employers, and worlds than ever before. So how do you navigate this new landscape and come out on top? Adam Grant, Wharton organizational psychologist, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the epicenter of power, and sat down with thought leaders from around the world, to find out.

Ironman is a sports phenomenon that has come to symbolize the very best of human striving, achievement, and excellence. And race announcer Mike Reilly is known throughout the endurance sports world as the "Voice of Ironman." Every year, over 300,000 people around the world compete in a series of long-distance triathlons that test the outer limits of their physical abilities and mental toughness. Some do it for glory, some to test themselves, some to honor lost loved ones or colleagues, some to bring healing to their troubled lives.

Somewhere under the freezing Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a fateful decision. The Red October is heading west. The Americans want her. The Russians want her back. The chase for the highly advanced nuclear submarine is on - and there’s only one man who can find her... Brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan has little interest in fieldwork, but when covert photographs of Red October land on his desk, Ryan soon finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek played by two world powers - a game that could end in all-out war.

Revisado: 01-15-19
Having not yet seen the movie (I did purchase the Blu-ray at about 2/3rds into the book so I can watch it now that I've finished the text), I don't remember why I picked this up on Kindle and Audible, but I am so glad I did. In my opinion, this is one thorough, detailed, well written book, with an audio book performance to match. The attention to detail by Tom Clancy in his writing, and by Scott Brick in his reading performance, is amazing. I see now why Clancy was debriefed after releasing the book. I'm sure folks were wondering where he picked up all this head knowledge of submariners. Whether the technology and techniques he writes of in The Hunt for Red October were true or not, he presents then with enough authority to submerse you into the storyline as if it were a history book, not a novel. I highly recommend reading this, and listening to it.

The man he knew as "Control" is dead, and the young Turks who forced him out now run the Circus. But George Smiley isn't quite ready for retirement-especially when a pretty, would-be defector surfaces with a shocking accusation: a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest level of British Intelligence. Relying only on his wits and a small, loyal cadre, Smiley recognizes the hand of Karla - his Moscow Centre nemesis - and sets a trap to catch the traitor.

Great novel, great series, and great narration!
Revisado: 07-03-18
Really enjoyed this book in the series. Stands up on its own if you haven't read the prior George Smiley Novels, and rewards you if you have read them. I enjoy the way John le Carré sets up the scenes and goes into drop details of the environment and characters thoughts, not feeling on these all the time, but a great balance in my opinion.

"You are either good or bad, and both are dangerous". It would have been an easy job for the Circus: A can of film couriered from Helsinki to London. In the past the Circus handled all things political, while the Department dealt with matters military. But the Department has been moribund since the War, its resources siphoned away. Now, one of their agents is dead, and vital evidence verifying the presence of Soviet missiles near the West German border is gone. John Avery is the Department's younger member and its last hope.

This is a slow moving story, that never really takes off. Glad to have read it, but hoping the next is a bit more like the earlier books in the series.

Reluctant to go to the police, Miss Brimley calls upon her old wartime colleague, George Smiley. Unfortunately, it's too late. Mrs. Rode has just been murdered.

Great details, & great narration in the Audio Ed.
Revisado: 04-27-18
Have now read the first two books in the Gerorge Smiley series. In addition to the detective work and surprise details around each corner, A Murder of Quality continues the great scene detailing that draw the reader (or at least me) into each page. The audio narration in the audio book is very complementary.
