More than half of all small businesses fail within the first five years. Starting and running a small business is hard work, and many entrepreneurs feel they must do whatever it takes to succeed, at the expense of their family, friends, and health. Yet, if done correctly, small-business ownership can—and should—balance profitable operations with personal fulfillment. According to author Tom Salonek—founder and CEO of Intertech, a Minnesota-based technology consulting and training firm—this balance is actually the secret to success.

Salonek believes that your business should "give life, not take it," a philosophy that has helped him grow his own venture every year since its inception in 1991. In The 100, Salonek shares his secrets to business success in the form of 100 concise, nuts-and-bolts lessons for achieving the ideal work-life balance for maximum success.

Written in clear, direct prose, these lessons are packed with actionable ideas and practical advice for using communication, collaboration, and technology to help small-business owners cultivate the best qualities not only in themselves, but in their employees as well.

Whether you own your own business or are simply thinking of starting one, this book will help you inspire teamwork, meet client expectations, clarify your personal values, and create a company culture to match. In addition, readers will gain access to a plethora of downloadable online resources—checklists, worksheets, templates, and more—to help implement the book’s ideas.

The 100 is a handy, inspiring addition to any business manager’s home library.

100 Impactful, Integrated and Tested Steps

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016

Numerous entrepreneurs start businesses, yet few are wildly successful. This book gives you the 100 must-dos to build your business and impact your clients, employees, industry and community. Few leaders are willing to share their insights in such an open, honest and humble manner. Tom Salonek lives the way he writes. Each one of the 100 building blocks must be woven into the fabric of the organization and embraced by the team. Tip 99 that reviews all the downloads and templates would be worth the price of the book. While the book is a quick read, the commitment to achieving these building blocks take time and openness to change. Intertech is a high technology company, but the building blocks work in all settings, especially in growing small to mid-size businesses. While Chapter 12 has only one building block which focuses on generosity, it is all about giving back. Tom has also given back to leaders in the publishing of this book.

You can read this book in one sitting or read it on the run over 100 days contemplating how to apply the book to your life each day. Tom is an outstanding leader in his field and someone worth learning from. There are many potential audiences for this book. If your company is doing well, read this book to understand what you are doing in common with a successful company. If your company is not doing well, read this book to discover at least one new thing you can start doing tomorrow to make things better. If you are thinking about starting a company, read this book to know how a well-run company operates. If you are looking for a job, read this book to know how award-winning companies treat their employees.

Timeless Wisdom, Advice and Steps for every manager and leader

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017

What a great resource - whether you read this all at once, or find the section that you need that moment, you'll find Tom's wisdom and advice, practical and easy to implement. He also gave me a lot to think about in some areas I have no experience in. I especially like his Take Away notes. Great reminder or quick summary of the section. Tom's a very successful business person and it's easy to see why. He's also a really great guy and it comes through in every page.

Focused, Practical, and Easy to Read

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2016

I really enjoyed reading The 100. It’s direct and to the point. There is no fluff. You won't need to wade through pages of filler material to find the useful information. It's a series of concise life lessons that really got me thinking about what's truly important to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Although the book is geared towards building and managing a business, many of the concepts are relevant to finding success in other aspects of life. The book contains concrete examples of how these principles are put into action. The best part is that many of the suggestions involve subtle, common sense changes that are easy to quickly implement.
