Deceptively Simple,
By
This review is from: A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline: Extraordinary Wisdom for Entrepreneurs, Managers, and Other Smart People (Hardcover)
I founded my own company over ten years ago, and could have saved myself a lot of trouble over the years if I had understood then, the wisdom contained in this deceptively simple book.
I've recommended this book to many other entrepreneurs, and used it as one of the texts when I taught briefly at University. The sayings seem simple and can be understood immediately by a novice entrepreneur. At the same time, experienced business people will recognize that only a tremedous depth of experience could produce such simplicity. In the case of this book, the depth of experience comes from dozens of CEOs and seasoned business people, in addition to the author, Leo Helzel, who is properly considered a Master of Entrepreneurship. What else can I say? Buy the book and see for yourself.

Balance your strategy with a spice of wisdom,

This review is from: A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline: Extraordinary Wisdom for Entrepreneurs, Managers, and Other Smart People (Hardcover)
43 yo (and getting better) beginer enterpreneur-
I laughed at the comments made by a reviewer as he classified this book as bathroom reading, Ha! He is right on that, but that does not make the book any less effective than it is. This should not be your only book on enterpreneurship, yet this is a ideal book for being in there for the wisdom is given by those who have been there, and they tell it has it is. "Enterpreneurship is like parenting. if you wait until everything is right, you'll never get started". This always hitted me where it hurts, the analogy is not totally accurate for sometimes (and just because nature cannot wait for the "right" time), parenting sometimes is bestowed on you, rather than a "rational choise".. but for enterpreneurship, the hardest part is beggining and the 2nd hardest, to see that "The driving principle of business is CFN- Cash Flow Now!"

Not what I was looking for...,

This review is from: A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline: Extraordinary Wisdom for Entrepreneurs, Managers, and Other Smart People (Hardcover)
This is a good bathroom book... but I was looking for something else. This book is a collection of sayings that may be useful for someone looking for a quote for a speech... but is not something to sink your teeth into.Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of the quotes, but I was looking for something more engaging.
