5.0 out of 5 stars Only the Good Stuff, October 15, 2002

By	Dan Poynter "Author-Publisher-Speaker" (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Jim Blasingame is an enthusiastic radio broadcaster who is dedicated to fueling the entrepreneurial spirit. He wants everyone to take control of his or her destiny. This book is part of his plan.

He knows a lot of successful businesspeople. On the air since 1977, he has interviewed them all-and has distilled their wisdom into 124 jam-packed pages. Many have penned testimonial for his book.

Best of all, this hardcover book is easy to read. Each learning section is just a few pages. Jim is clear, concise and direct.

Business owners need networking, guidance and help. Jim provides what you need.

As a publisher and author of 28 books, I need references and resources. This is one book I will not give away.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money., March 23, 2005

By	J. Mason (FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is no way that this book could be deemed jam-packed. In fact, most of the pages are only half-filled. Each two-page "chapter" is based around a quote that is very loosely tied to a topic that may or may not have anything to do with busniess. If you want to get something out of your time and money, look for books by Seth Godin, Barbara Corcoran, and Tom Peters. They really entertain as well as inform their readers.
