The statistics are all over the place regarding the failure rate of small business.  No matter what the actual percentage of small businesses that fail every year, the actual number is too high.

In the book The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber, readers are told about ways owners of small businesses can avoid becoming a part of that statistic.

Gerber researched different successful businesses that started small to find out what the successful businesses had in common with each other and what was missing from those companies that did not make it.

This book is very well written and is presented in a way that the lessons taught should stick with the reader.  

If you are in business for yourself or are planning to start one, The E-Myth Revisited should be a part of your reading.

Book Review: The Build Framework: A Heart-Based System for Personal and Professional Growth by John Peitzman ISBN: 978-0-6483453-0-5

Watch on YouTube

Common sense isn’t so common anymore. That is the reason that books like The One Minute Manager and In Search of Excellence are still relevant today. Sometimes we all need a little reminder about what we should be doing in our organizations.

Back in the 80s, we saw a bunch of McManagement programs where someone came in and put up some posters with a slogan on it.  We called this Management Du Jour.

The next thing you knew, you were issued a binder with the new McManagement slogan on it.  If you were lucky, you got a t-shirt with the slogan on it and everyone got a tote bag, coffee mug, and some balloons, each with the new slogan on it.

The corporate suits would gather all the front line people together.  They would all sing Kumbaya and recite the new slogan and then it was back to the same old same old.

The Build Framework isn’t Management Du Jour or McManagement.  It is a common sense approach to how to improve your organization.

This short book has just five simple steps to help leaders remind themselves of what is important and actually get to lead. A fast reader can read this book in about a half hour to an hour, assuming no pesky interruptions like the boss or work.

The book is well written.  There are a few funny stories that are pertinent to the subject being discussed that help keep the reader engaged.

Will The Build Framework solve all your management problems? No.  Will it provide a different perspective for you? Yes, probably.  

Grab your copy of this and take it with you.  By the time you flush, you should have some new tools for your professional toolbox.

Book Review: Project Unthinkable: A Doctor's Gamble to Save Millions of Lives by Derek Yach ISBN: 978-1-988025-30-8

Watch on YouTube

I would have to say that Project Unthinkable: A Doctor's Gamble to Save Millions of Lives by Derek Yach is probably the most hope filled book I have ever read.

If everything works out the way the author Derek Yach seems to think it will, we will soon all be living in a smoke-free world.

I have to admit, if I were browsing a book store or searching through Amazon, I probably would pass this book by.  

If I had passed up on reading this book, I would have missed reading a wealth of information that I would not have received anywhere else.  

I really don’t know how the WHO works, but I know the FDA is made up of a bunch of goons that couldn’t regulate a dog fight.  I say this because they won’t allow natural foods and supplements to be sold unless they are willing to bow down and say that the only treatment for cancer is chemotherapy and radiation.

These same cancers are caused because the FDA does not do its job to protect our food supply.  Case in point, GMO isn’t as benign as it sounds. We are sent countless books to review that are written by top doctors in their fields.  These books tell us that GMO means that the chemical known as Roundup, an herbicide, is grown into our foods. And the FDA doesn’t think that it is important for us to know which of our foods are GMO?

The FDA didn’t even look at mesh implants before they were approved for implanting in humans.  

Now, Project Unthinkable tells us there is hope for us all.  The hope doesn’t come from government regulations of tobacco, but from one of the largest tobacco companies in the world.

This book is very well written and, believe it or not, it is very entertaining.  You will learn a lot about what you didn’t know you didn’t know. This is the kind of book that you will be surprised you found to be so interesting you just can’t put it down.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.
