Book Description

October 1, 2008
Starting a business is never easy, neither is it easy being a seasoned entrepreneur. Wouldn't it be nice if someone laid out the basics so that others could save a lot of time, money, and grief? Laura Harris has done just that. Focusing on concepts that will help entrepreneurs avoid costly, time-consuming trial-and-error learning, Harris will guide readers through the challenges of running a business.

Based on the author's own hard-earned lessons and her years of experience consulting with thousands of business owners, Surrender to Win teaches readers how to generate more income, maximize profits, create client loyalty, develop autonomous employees, and decrease the stress that results from 'making it up as you go along.' An entrepreneur can achieve all of this and not be shackled to the business by developing a solid business plan, clear-cut operations, strong leaders, and competent employees.

Harris offers insightful and authoritative advice that both fledgling entrepreneurs and the seasoned businessperson will find helpful and practical. She can teach every business owner how to build a profitable business where employees think and act like owners.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read...Laura's words jump right off the page!!, October 13, 2008
This review is from: Surrender to Win: Regain Sanity by Strategically Relinquishing Control (Hardcover)
Laura has nailed it with "Surrender to Win". Whether you are a seasoned pro, just starting a new business, or somewhere in between, this book has dozens and dozens of ideas to start new processes in your business or make improvements to existing ones.

Her format for the book makes this VERY EASY for anyone to not only get great ideas, BUT at the end of each chapter provides thought provoking questions and gives the reader an action plan to run with. Most authors miss this critical point. There are not shortage of great ideas in this world, but without a plan of action for these ideas, that's all they are, great ideas.

Don't miss out on this book, it is a must for every entreprenuer's library. The introduction alone raised the hair on my arms. It was if Laura was in the room reading her book to me, powerful stuff!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Homerun!!, October 12, 2008
This review is from: Surrender to Win: Regain Sanity by Strategically Relinquishing Control (Hardcover)
This book is a homerun!! I wish I would have had a tool like this when I started my business 20 years ago...this hits the mark spot on. It is an easy read and is applicable for those looking to get a head start before they open a business or for many owners looking for a "tune-up" for their operations. I have given the book as a gift to my staff so they can understand what is expected of them and the reason why. Well done Laura!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast read with great ideas and insight, October 7, 2008
By 
This review is from: Surrender to Win: Regain Sanity by Strategically Relinquishing Control (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the titles of the chapters, the quotes sprinkled throughout and the chapters were short but full of great ideas. It was a very quick read and the way the book is designed I can go back to it quickly for insight on a particular situation - the summary page at the end of each chapter is great. I highly recommend it for anyone who runs their own business or is considering running their own business.
