Welcome
Ever notice that the world is full of experts who have never actually done what they are "experts" at?
Many a business professor has never actually managed a business. Most business courses stress defining business terms but never actually teach the concepts of running a business.
This blog hopes to teach some of the terms and, at the same time, give some examples and lessons on running a business.
There will also be reviews of books on business listed here. Sometimes companies give me books to review. Regardless of where I get the book to review, I will give my honest opinion. If I was given the book to review I will always disclose that in the review.
I seek to start posting on 02 January 2012. Some of the posts will be recycled from some of my other blogs.
The reader should know that there is no one “Right Way” to conduct business that will apply in all situations. This blog is meant as a place to start. It is hoped that you will perform further research and consult professionals experienced in your particular business before making any important decisions.

Book Review: The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant: Twelve Keys to Successful Living.
This book tells the reader a story about a young man who is faced with the choice of serving God as a monk or as a merchant. He chooses the path of a merchant and our story takes us through the challenges and lessons he learns along the way.
There are no earth-shattering revelations in this book, but it helps to remind us of things we already know. Depending on your current beliefs, it may actually change the way you look at business.
The forward is by Dave Ramsey, the money guru. He seems to believe this is a must-read book. It isn’t a must-read book, but it is interesting and insightful.
Book Review Policy
My policy on book reviews is to give you my honest opinion of the book. From time to time publishers will give me a copy of their book for free for the purpose of me reading the book and writing a review. The publishers understand when they give me the book that I am under no obligation to write a positive review.
If you will look at all my reviews, you will see that there have been occasions when I have written a negative review after having been given a book.
I often provide links to books on Amazon.com where you can purchase books and help support the continued operation of this blog. However, I strongly encourage you to check out your local library. Many libraries now offer electronic borrowing for free.
I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255
