5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book For Acheiving Personal and Professional Goals, February 13, 2004

This review is from: Zero to One Million: How to Build a Company to $1 Million in Sales (Paperback)

After reading "Zero to One Million" and implementing the strategies and techniques in Mr. Allis's book, my business revenue has almost tripled in a short 4-months time. I am the CEO of a neutraceutical corporation and interact with CEO'S from companies in the USA and Internationally. I can honestly say I have tried multiple methods and hired multiple marketing and management teams in the past, spending 100'S of thousands of dollars with little to no results. I have also read multiple books on subjects of personal and business development including Stephen Covey, Richard Gerber, Anthoney Robbins, Louise Hay, Dale Carnegie and more. "Zero to One Million" covers the beginner to advanced stages it takes to become successful and financially secure. I would recommend this book to all entrepreneurs and successful business men and women.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zero to One Million is priceless for two reasons, February 1, 2004

This review is from: Zero to One Million: How to Build a Company to $1 Million in Sales (Paperback)

I've known Ryan for almost two years now. He has done tremendous work for me and I am happy to own and have read Zero to One Million. If you have not read this book yet I will explain why you should... Ryan was not a dot com millionaire, he was not "one of those kids your neighbor knows" when he made his first million, in fact he's not even a computer geek. He's only 19, but let Ryan introduce himself to you in the first chapters, he'll earn your respect before you can sit it down. Ryan's been in the business world long enough to know there is no 'inside information' that helps people like him succeed. Ryan was born with an unnatural ability to visualize an entire business, from the first customer to the millionth. His perspective provides readers a roadmap in which they learn how he did it, and how he continues to do it. Zero to One Million explains 'it.' When I met Ryan at age 17, he had not only visualized his first business, he had grown it into a million dollar operation. Zero to One Million is priceless for two reasons: 1) Ryan's detailed path of personal and professional development shows how a great entrepreneur was made and will instill confidence and direction in anyone with dreams, 2) Ryan is an expert at creating systems, the pages of Zero to One Million are a written key of the systematic procedures (previously contained only in his head) he uses to organize his bias-toward-action that leads him to success in multiple business ventures. In closing, if you're an entrepreneur with a dream, or if you dream of being an entrepreneur, read Zero to One Million (borrow it from a friend if you can't afford it) and let Ryan push you off that ledge. You'll be prepared for whatever is next.

This review is from: Zero to One Million: How to Build a Company to $1 Million in Sales (Paperback)

Most books of this genre are great motivational books, but are simply that. Zero..Million is a tool for anyone who has ever dreamt of starting a business. It has the aspects of all the other books, plus practical instructions, how-tos and resources. The 100 Steps to Building a Business is in itself worth the price of the book. It gives you the motivation to get you going and the step-by-step details to keep you going. The introduction is a bit lengthy; the global framework is a bit dry, but contains important information. I definently recommend this book to anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit, product idea or desire to start a business.
