When reviewing Making Money is Killing Your Business, the biggest urge I had was just to cut and paste whole sections of it, Here's a sample:

I think businesses should grow up...I don't mean it would be nice if it happened. I mean we should all, everyone of us, expect our businesses to grow up and start giving back to us and to the world around us. We should assume that at some point our business would move from survival right through success to Significance.

Nobody would argue with me that we should intend for our children to grow up, leave home, and become grownups we could enjoy for decades, but when was the last time we had a similar conversation about our businesses? It's normal for children to grow up, so why isn't it normal for businesses to do the same thing? Frankly, we’re in charge of both of them at birth, and if you’ve had kids, you’ll know that you’ve got more control over the maturity of your business than the maturity of your kids.

Chuck does more than offer a simple paradigm shift. He shows how to do it, and shares examples of clients who walked that walk with him. Real crisp, concise examples, including the client’s words and actionable steps that you can do...today.

Given the clarity of writing and the proven, doable steps that Chuck shares in Making Money is Killing Your Business, it deserves sales like Good to Great by Jim Collins. That would put sales for Chuck's book at around 3-4 million. That sounds right. --Zane Safrit Book Reviews Making Money is Killing Your Business has been translated to Mandarin and is being distributed in mainland China.

It has also been translated to Spanish for availability in all Spanish-speaking countries. --Amazon - Books
