Interesting Book for Enterpreneurs,
By Tezza "Tezza" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 9 Super Simple Steps to Entrepreneurial Success (Paperback)
What does motivation and landscaping have in common? Read Martin J. Grunder Jr's book and you'll find out!
This book is unusual because it's written by a person who created a landscaping company -- not a high-powered Fortune 500 CEO. That's not to say Mr. Grunder's a slouch! He's got a university degree majoring in business to back him. Mr. Grunder's nine super simple steps to entrepreneurial success are not totally revolutionary to anyone who has spent time studying the topic of being an enterprenaur. Mr. Grunder brings a combination of motivational encouragement and simple down home truths that can help a person to be a better entrepreneur and business person. For instance, the Chapter "Get Paid to Learn" suggests that a budding entrepreneur should spend some time working in the field of their chosen passion to both learn the ropes and determine if their passion is truly lifelong. That's a good idea, but a fairly commonly understood one. Chapter "Ask Questions" seemes to be the most important chapter. Mr. Grunder asserts that we should never be afraid to ask questions, gain knowledge and learn best practices from our mentors and competitors. Excellent advice. Mr. Grunder even offers a free critique. Just fill out the form in the back of the book and mail it in for some free feedback from the author. Beware, you may find yourself mentioned in his next book! This is a good read for entrepreneurs who need to revisit the basics and build up their motivation and courage.

This review is from: 9 Super Simple Steps to Entrepreneurial Success (Paperback)
Marty has written this book from the background of being a sudccessful entreprenuer on several fronts. Marty has the "gift of Gab" and it comes across in his book in such a way that makes it an enjoyable read. I don't underline all the books I read but my copy has many underlines in it as it is full of ideas and thoughts that you can "take to the bank". 9 Simple Steps is a good read if you have a business, are thinking of starting one, or know someone who is and likes ideas on success from someone who is.

WOW - this book is amazing! Marty gets what most business Gurus do not - it's all about you! This book reduces the usually complicated methodology of business wisdom to the simplest common denominator! No kidding, if you have a business or are looking to start one - this book is a must!
