The One Minute Entrepreneur: The Secret to Creating and Sustaining a Successful Business | Ken Blanchard, Don Hutson, Ethan Willis

pan

Stay away. The advice is trite. But more importantly, the way the female is represented is insulting. Two people marry and leave corporate to start a speaking company together. After the woman has 3 kids in 2 years, they decide she should stay home. Ok so far. But then “Terri stayed home to manage the company while the HEAVY LIFTING FOR THE BUSINESS FELL ON JUDS SHOULDERS”?!? 3 kids under 3 and managing a biz but he‘s got the tough job? From 2008!

The Martha Rules: 10 Essentials for Achieving Success as You Start, Build, or Manage a Business | Martha Stewart

Okay, so lemme explain my third pick. I think I got it as a gag gift about 15 years ago. But…if ever there was a time for it, it might be now. My personal brand at work has taken a hit recently, and if anyone knows anything about bouncing back from a screw up, it‘s Martha (I think this was published the same year she got out of prison). At the very least, it‘s an excuse to treat myself to a bottle of 19 Crimes wine.

Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days | Jessica Livingston

so-so

It's exactly what it sounds like, a collection of founders' stories in interview format. Livingston does a solid job prodding her interviewees and asks good questions. What I didn't like so much, which wasn't her fault, was that many interviews tended to get long-winded and rambly, filled with technical jargon that I had no chance of understanding. Some interviews were much better, and I learned a lot.

The E-myth Revisited | Michael E. Gerber

pick

I cannot say enough good things about this book! The setup was very contrived, but I appreciate that Gerber managed to present such excellent information in a way that was engaging, rather than dry and boring. Highly recommend this to anyone thinking about starting their own business.
