In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Three Stars. This means it is Worthwhile.
Here is my book review.
Disappointing
I had high hopes of this book when I bought it soon after its release but I was left disappointed.
Writing for the Internet is different from writing long form sales letters. It’s much easier to get people to start reading but, with plenty of other information a couple of clicks away, it’s much harder to keep them reading. [continue reading…]

24 Hour Business Turnaround: Increase Profits Up to 20% in a Day
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Three Stars, meaning Worthwhile.
Here is my book review.
The basic, boring stuff matters too
This book jumps straight into internal control weaknesses like orders delivered but not invoiced, items replaced under warranty but no warranty claim has been made on the original supplier etc. It’s a useful reminder that profit and cash can leak through your business through neglect. Areas of customer fraud or abuse are also covered. [continue reading…]

6-Figure Copywriting for Coaches: 6 Web Copy Tweaks That Hook Dream Clients, Fill Your Pipeline and Have Them BEGGING to Work with YOU!
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Two Stars, meaning Disappointing.
Here is my book review.
Very expensive for an extended sales letter to sell copywriting services
As a free read, under the Kindle Unlimited subscription, I’d say that this is a quick but interesting read. As a kindle book that costs £8.00 to buy, it is very expensive for what it gives back and I’ve based my rating on you buying it. [continue reading…]

The E-Myth Contractor: Why Most Contractors’ Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Three Stars, meaning Worthwhile.
Here is my book review.
Not a replacement for The E-Myth Revisited
For many years, I’ve recommended the author’s book, The E-Myth Revisited as an important read for aspiring and struggling business owners. I was interested to see whether The E-Myth Contractor replaced that book for contractors or whether it should be read as a way to help focus those powerful ideas to a specific type of business.

Plenty of questions about your business
I don’t like the title of this book and believe it will take you longer to read it than 30 minutes and much, much longer to answer some of the questions. [continue reading…]

Too small on Kindle and you can’t resize
I’m fascinated by strategy so when I read that this presented a new approach, I had to read it.

Six Lessons: My Sixty-Minute Masterclass with Eli Goldratt
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Three Stars, meaning Worthwhile.
Here is my book review.
Interesting interview
This is a transcript of an interview with Eliyahu Goldratt, drawing out lessons from “Isn’t It Obvious” which looked at retailing.
Inevitably given the format, it is a bit of a clunky read in places. People don’t tend to talk in as structured a way as they write. It starts by highlighting three lessons from the book and then goes on to find another three. [continue reading…]
