If you are starting a business or are currently running a business Cheat To Win is incredible. It is simply a book that will show you how to be successful in your business, written by a man (Robert W. MacDonald) who has already succeeded in building up his own insurance company (LifeUSA) which was eventually sold for $540 million dollars.

Cheat To Win cuts through all of the hype and explains how to truly build a business up according to your own terms and not to fall in to certain traps that can destroy an organization. It shows how to truly lead by empowering others, not by ruling them.

I highly recommend this book and have already begun incorporating some of these guidelines to help imrprove my own software company (di-Doolicity Innovations).

I got this book from a friend of mine who got it at a seminar for free, he did not bother reading it because of title and gave it to me.
I have read the book twice and go to some sections from time to time. I congratulate Bob MacDonnald for sharing his wisdom and good sense of humor in an excellent book. As he says - when you read it it will be innevitable to find yourself relating to some of the stories as if you lived all the non-sense that is found in many organizations. But what really makes it valuable is his through description of how he created a multimillion insurance company from scratch. The ideas he implemented to retain and share ownership of the company with employees are excellent and worth practicing. How to make HR really work for the employees/owners is really good. And lots of wisdom and lectures in negotiation and leadership. I hope you can enjoy the book and find value in it as I did.

ANYONE TRAPPED IN HIS OWN ENVIRONMENT NEEDS TO GET THE EXPERIENCE OF THIS BOOK. CORPORATE CONFUSION, LACK OF DIRECTION, BUDDING GENIUS,SHOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THE INTENTIONS TO MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE RAW TALENT. A LAUGH A CHAPTER, AN IDEA TO EXPAND, AND THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WRITER ARE WORTH THE FEW HOURS IT TAKES TO REALLY READ THIS BOOK. YOU'LL WANT TO READ IT AGAIN AS I DID TO REALLY APPRECIATE IT'S WISDOM. BUY IT FOR ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO YOU KNOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO WIN, BUT LACK THE CONFIDENCE.NOT FOR LOOSERS.A WIN WIN FOR THE READER.
