I recently finished reading "How to Build a Business Warren Buffett Would Buy: The R.C. Willey Story." I was so impressed with the book that I am purchasing copies for each of my children and for many of my friends. It was both informative and inspirational. As one who has been involved in higher level management for many years -- I am currently serving as a college president -- the book comes to mind almost daily and reminds me of the importance of integrity and the value of customers (in our case, students). In fact, I am using the portions regarding customer relations as the basis for some training that we are doing in that area. I am blessed to know Mr. Child and Mr. Benedict and this book is the real thing -- it was a quick but inspiring read.

A very interesting story of a man who started out taking over a business to take care of his family, a commitment to "the right thing to do" that laid the foundation of his business. Short read. Interesting to read about persistence and diligence during smooth patches and setbacks. It sort of restores your confidence that honesty and hard work really will get you ahead.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to make it big? This short, easy to read book follows a business with humble beginning to a multi-million dollar enterprise. The time proven values of hard work, integrity and commitment make the difference. The American dream is alive and well! Highly recommended.

Hurray for the little guy in America! He can make it big. This compelling book is short and easy to read. The story is based on a return to values, hard work and dedication. Highly recommended.

Incredible story! Fast read. Excellent principles. Mr. Child is one in a million. I am inspired by his concern for the customer.

The sound management principles that are prevalent throughout this book are an excellent guide for any type of supervisor or leader. I found it easy to follow, written as a story rather than a management text book or manual.

I would recommend this book to anyone, whether in leadership or not. It is uplifting and optimistic, and encourages the reader to live to his/her fullest potential.

Very nice story of sticking to your values. The book is short on real substance as far as advice goes. Most of that can be found over about six to eight pages. I was, quite frankly, disappointed. This is more of a biography than anything else. Nice story. Just a bit misleading in the title.How to Build a Business Warren Buffett Would Buy: The R. C. Willey Story

I loved this book and actually finished it to the end in less than 48 hours! (That's quite a feat for a mom of 3 kids under 5 and COO of a small hotel) It's easy to read and contains countless wonderful nuggets of advice and wisdom. This is a great addition to any library and a wonderful gift for anyone who is a budding entrepreneur.
