How to Succeed in Business


Book Description

In this book, I will show you how good basic business principles should be applied and followed. It is written for men and women who are already in business, those starting a business, entrepreneurs ready to launch a new idea, and students leaving college or university wanting to make their way in business. Business is not an exact science. There is no written formula that can guarantee success, but there are basic rules that must be followed if you are to be successful. I have drawn on my past experiences in business, my failings, the shortcomings of the thousands I have mentored, and those who have consulted me. I have written what I believe is an easy to read, easy to understand guide, of the basic do's and don'ts in business. My comments are set out in a practical manner, based on fact, not as an academic lecturer in a college or university would tell you.Those who have been to college or university may find my views very different because they are gained at the actual front line of business. There is no better advice than firsthand knowledge and experience. Businessmen want nitty gritty information that they can use and relate to their business. This is what you will get from my book.




How to Succeed in Business by Breaking All the Rules


Book Description

In How to Succeed in Business by Breaking All the Rules, Dan S. Kennedy debunks twenty treasured maxims to show would-be millionaires that the techniques they thought were helping them are actually holding them back.A successful entrepreneur and highly sought-after motivational speaker, Kennedy writes in a brisk, no-nonsense style to show how the advice of so-called ?experts? run against the experience of most successful people. The first rule of success, he argues, is to throw out all the other rules.For instance:? Forget just about everything you were ever told about positive thinking. Optimism is helpful, but blind optimism is just plain stupid. Identify and plan for every possible objection or setback that could come your way or be prepared to be thrown for some real loops.? The customer is not always right. Make an effort to understand people?s dissatisfaction, but a pain in the neck is a waste of time. Be prepared to ?fire? customers who are never satisfied and concentrate on those you can make happy.? Forget about creativity. Plain, ordinary ideas make people rich every day, as long as they are willing to work very, very hard at the run-of-the-mill things they do.Full of anecdotes about people who defied convention, this energetic, plain-talking guide offers practical, hands-on advice to help you become a successful entrepreneur.
