Most entrepreneurs are so caught up in putting out fires on a daily basis that they lose sight of the big picture and a long term business plan. Thanks to The Hot Dog Syndrome, it is stressed that planning and preparation are key to business success. It's the ideal book for any business owner who thrives to make their business LAST FOREVER!!!

Harvey knows his stuff, which is obviously based on years and years of experience and seeing it all. The would-be and budding entrepreneur would be well advised to heed his advice. This book stresses the importance of working ON your business, not just IN your business.

Mr. Goldstein has charmed the reader once again by encapsulating the fundamentals from business school into an easily digestible "story". This book will be a great benefit to any business owner/entreprenuer that needs to step back and reflect on the meaning of life whenever the pressures of running a business weigh heavily... hopefully, most of us will read this book while there is still time to appreciate what we have and what we CAN build for the future.

This book was very helpful in explaining the ways businesses work and how they should be run. This book is not written like any other i have seen, and it flows very well. I picked it up and couldnt put it down until i was done. I'm in the process of starting my own business, and i felt this book is very useful, as i related to the situations presented in this book.

What a great book! The Hot Dog Syndrome should be a "must read" for all business owners, and especially those that are feeling the pressures associated with growing their company from it's early stages of development.

Many business books can be a chore for me to read cover-to-cover because of their academic, dry style. Not so with The Hot Dog Syndrome! Mr. Goldstein's narrative approach and clearly defined road map to success made reading the book a real pleasure.

If your business is keeping you awake at night, the advice provided in The Hot Dog Syndrome can keep your company healthy and profitable - and your life less stressful. Highly recommended!

The Hot Dog syndrome was fun to read. It kept me focused on the priorities of operating a successful business. I thought the "voice" was talking to me. Reading this book and applying its simple plan will benefit anyone who owns or operates a business. I could not wait to see what the "voice" was going to tell me next. I now keep the book handy at my desk to remind myself throughout my work day of its lessons.

If the title doesn't grab you, don't let it stop you from reading this book!

Remarkably, the author, Harvey Goldstein, has condensed his many years of experience into a readable and easily understood primer on how to make your business a real business, how to re-vitalize your business, how to make the transition from entrepreneur to businessman, how to build value, how to get your business organized, how to plan, the importance of financial information, etc. In sum, how to run a successful and growing business.

There is just so much content presented and in a quick and simple way, that by the end of the book, the reader has both the understanding and inspiration to start to make the necessary changes in how he manages and the importance and growth of his employees.

This is a must read for any businessman, no matter what you think you know, or for any person contemplating or starting a business.

I have been a contractor for over twenty years, and a fairly successful one at that. Im sitting in my local cigar shop as I do on a regular basis and I meet Harvey (the author), we talk. and he tells me about his book, so I read it. Well im on my fourth reading as of now, and im still picking up new thoughts. I have recomended this book to many fellow contractors, due to the ease of reading and the simple principles that we all forget from time to time. All I can say is great insight and simply stated.
