This book was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad. This is really a must have for everyone that run's their own business. The author really break's it down to easily understand and implement how to not only understand where the money from your business is going but to maximize your sales to create more income for you. The title says it all - you can make a lot of money in sales but if you are not bringing it home at the end of the day than it is not doing much good. I would highly recommend this to other people in any stage of their business.

This book is a MUST READ for anyone daring to embark on an entrepreneurial journey.  If you are skeptical at all by the title and think it is a "get rich quick scheme," you are sadly mistaking.  MJ DeMarco really addresses every important detail of embracing the process of success, not just the events.  I've actually come across this book many times while looking for an ebook to purchase from Amazon.  My only regret about owning this book is not owning it soon enough!  I definitely see myself reading this again in the future for a point of reference.  Let my review be the last one you read about this book; hurry up and buy it!

This is also a great read for those who are contemplating opening a business as well it really makes you challenge yourself.  I will reference this book forever!

Michael Lechter's book "OPM" Other People's Money is one of the finest books written for creating financial leverage. The information teaches anyone how they can take an idea and truly turn it into a significant financial gain without risking their own capital.

You do not need money to become successful. You need a worthwhile idea and other people's money and or resources to bring that idea to fruition. Don't shelve your dreams due to lack of cash flow. One idea in this book provided me with over $30,000 in other people's resources and I did not give away equity to do so.

After you read this book then lack of cash flow is no longer a reason not to transform your ideas into reality. Apply the knowledge in this book and you have more than a short-lived chance of success. We have all heard the saying that knowledge is power. Once you have learned the information contained within this book you will have the power, you just have to apply it.

The material is straight forward. This is a must read for anyone that considers themselves a true entrepreneur. I learned more about cash flow and understanding how to attract other people's money and resources in this book than I did in six years of college.

If I had this information prior to starting my entrepreneurial life I am sure I would be 50 times wealthier today.

Thank you Michael, You Rock!

Nathalie's book is a must read filled with useful information regardless of whether or not you have considered launching or run your own business. Insightful hacks and stories from people who have used non-traditional inventive ways to push forward and deliver results. "Your job is to be as curious as you can and as smart as you can about meeting a need."

Invited to join a group of Leapfrog VIP's I was given a digital copy of this book and enjoyed it so much that I'm mailing off copies to friends.  Great Job Nathalie! You can tell Nathalie delights in sharing these hacks with her audience.  Will look for future titles as I'm sure there are more stories which you did not include in this one.

I received a pre-release copy of this book to review, and loved it! I've been an entrepreneur for a long time and am always looking for better ways to build and improve my businesses. This book provides practical advice that anyone can put into use to "dominate their market" as the book says.

I'd strongly recommend this book to anyone who is or wants to be a business owner. Whether you're thinking of starting a business or have been in business for 30 years, there's something for everyone to learn here.

My favorite parts: The chapter on social media marketing, the "Pulling a 180" chapter on turning your business around, and the section on social entrepreneurship. Good stuff!

Leaders Start to Finish is not only about being an authentic, inspirational leader, it's also about taking action to influence and cultivate future leaders - something that everyone in business should be striving toward. Anne Bruce outlines how to become this type of leader in an engaging, relatable way, so that all readers will find themselves thinking, "I can do this!" Her dedication and passion for developing leaders come through in every page - and in every conversation you have with her. Anne will be presenting a workshop at ASTD 2012 International Conference & Exposition that coincides with the great topics covered in Leaders Start to Finish - and to top it off, she will be conducting a book signing as well, with co-author Stephanie Montanez. Don't miss an opportunity to hear Anne speak more on creating top leaders, hardworking teams, and inspiring workplaces.

For those of you who think being an "Entrepreneur" is easy, please keep your day job! Mike, you have outdone yourself! The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur is a "no nonsense", to the point kind of book for those entrepreneurs who really need to get it together!  I just love the part on "The Focus Five". Folks, use this book to help you focus so you can get things done.  Mike, some might not like the contrast but you have knocked it out the ballpark!

This is the first book I have read about scenario planning. I was led to this wonderful book as a reader of Whole Earth Review.

I reckon it would be worthwhile to read this book jointly with Arie de Geus's The Living Company. Both books explain very well our innate human ability to strategise - to build future scenarios in our heads - since our caveman days!

With this understanding and insight, you will now begin to reclaim and maximise your inborn ability to explore and create your own future, in business or otherwise.

In Peter's book, the scenario building process is explained at length, with quite easy-to-follow steps.

The two books complement each other. One point I want make very clear: In some way, Peter gives you only the WHAT? and the HOW? while Arie's gives you the WHAT? and the WHY? about scenario building in their respective books.

I particularly like Peter's book because he urges you to REPERCEIVE - a much more powerful !word than RETHINK - whatever you think & do, and also to stay abreast of trends and changes by perusing all kinds of stuff from the FRINGES, on top of your mainstream stuff. A true strategic explorer does both!

I always feel that reading fringe stuff gives you an edge. This is also one of similar major themes (pertaining to secondary sources for reading) pursued by Joel Arthur Barker and Faith Popcorn in their respective books.

It is also worthwhile to explore the author's website, Global Business Network (GBN), especially about further books to read.

To sum up, this is a MUST READ book for your strategic exploration!

This is an amazing book! For those looking to change their mindset from employee to business owner, this is a must have. Kiyosaki explains everything in great detail, while making it also an easy to read book.

WOW Patrick Snow's book, The Affluent Entrepreneur is a phenomenal gift to anyone wishing to become a successful entrepreneur - it dramatically cuts the learning curve and gives a clear step-by-step path with its 20 success principles. As an entrepreneur I often get distracted and derailed with minucia - this book gives you a concrete blueprint to stay on task with your vision and teaches you how to build a solid business you'll love. I highly recommend The Affluent Entreprenuer to anyone wishing to create a lifestyle that achieves their goals!

As a previous attendee of Dave Ramsey's Entreleadership program, I was thrilled to see that Dave published a book highlighting the things we learned during the week-program.
This book should be considered a primer for ever business person or entrepreneur intent on building his or her business. It will clearly illustrate how to become a better leader by learning an awareness of your (and your team's) learning and personality styles.
You will also learn how to create effective goals -- as business owners we usually DO have goals -- BUT Dave Ramsey teaches how to make those goals effective, then how to implement them through proper time, people and resource management.
As a small business owner, I have been unsure at times how to compensate and inspire my team. But Dave Spells out various methods that make sense to both small and larger businesses.
And the part many entrepreuers are weak at -- the acocunting piece -- is also covered in detail. Learn how to manage your business finances in a practical way. And Dave will show you in this book how to build your team through hiring and oursourcing, so you can focus on your skills, and bring in others to complement you where you are weak.
This book will teach you how to build a sales team, manage a sales funnel, and make the sale.

Frankly, I consider Entreleadership a one-stop book (and program) for building a business of any size.
This will be one of the most-referenced book in your entrepreneur library.

Mr. Grunder's book is very informative, personal and most importantly helpful. The methods work..I am living proof.  I have followed  the steps offered in this book and I have read this book twice already and have drawn inspiration every time I read it -that I carry it with me everyday to recharge my batteries.
It's not one of your typical self help book that you have read before-Folks this one hits the target every time.
I urge anyone who owns their own business or is kicking around the idea to start one a very simple step BUY THIS BOOK! I cannot
wait for the audio to accompany this book!
