Interesting and unique stories that have a lot of lessons from which we can all learn from. Bell teaches us how to apply them in our lives. Highly recommended!

This is a book that gives strategic professional advantage to those taking the time to read and learn. The book has extensive discussion of real-life events and the lessons we can take from them. The lessons assisted me in my professional life. I bought additional copies for my son and a co-worker. This book will help your professional development and career decisions. Bell understands the strategic roadmap to success.

This book is indispensable for anybody wanting to get ahead in life. Numerous lessons and insights for success are presented in an easy to understand format. You will enjoy this book whether you're a Fortune 500 CEO or starting a corner lemon-aide stand. I run a small, independent-contracting company and was able to use many of these lessons, both on a macro-level (setting long-term company goals) and on a micro-level (setting and achieving short term, day-to-day goals). Without this book, I would not be nearly as successful as I have been. I would highly recommend this book to anybody.

This book has some great stories which come out as analogies for the points the Author makes in his work, which I am not sure what he is called in for on the projects he cites. The book is full of diagrams and models he uses, some of which I found interesting but in the end it seems overdone and complicated. The overall model used as the basis of his approach, and apparently it works for him, I found to be way complicated and back to my corporate days, he'd lose the audience half way through. I dont think it an awful book by any means but I ended up confused most of the time about the points he was making other than dont be too far right or left and stay in bounds. Some great points in the book and some that left me wondering.

I find that self-help books typically come off somewhat preachy and gimmicky. That's not the case with this one. Bell uses interesting life experiences to demonstrate that solutions are generally found in the middle ground, not in the extremes which are the domain of fanatics. It's a useful book you can enjoy and learn from without the sense you're joining a cult following.

Randall Bell has written a very readable, helpful and inspiring book. His range of experiences is incredible, and he has translated the lessons learned from them into suggestions and directions that will be valuable to anyone who will read and apply them. He assures us that bottom line results come about by the same process, whether in leading a business, a community or charitable organization or being a homemaker. He is right on.

The book was clearly instructional as well as engagingly entertaining. I particularly enjoyed the way the author presented the wide array of models and tools. The lessons are practical and easy to apply. It is a book for every professional's library.

Bottom Line Results provides an insightful and comprehensive methodology for strategic planning in any situation. Bell relies on real world experiences to successfully integrate and explain the factors essential to effective decision making. Highly recommended.

I was very impressed with this book. The author is an outstanding and well-qualified expert in the field of strategic planning. He has assembled an impressive combination of significant examples and techniques that should benefit any enterprise (business, government, educational, personal) in strategic planning. After reading this book I can now put into action many of the lessons he has provided in his numerous experiences. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to achieve their goals successfully.

Such interesting stories and insight. It makes you think of things in a different way. Most people know these stories, but often pass by them without a second thought to a lesson that could be learned. Mr. Bell's experience and observations make this opportunity available. This book is not only for business, but for personal instruction as well.
