A very helpful book to get your life unstuck

I’ve been reading and reviewing books about how to get a business unstuck but this time I have stepped into looking at how someone gets their life unstuck. There is some crossover as a stuck business owner will cause the business to be stuck and vice versa, business problems spill into personal lives. [continue reading…]

What’s Stopping You? by Robert Kelsey

The full title of this book by Robert Kelsey is

What’s Stopping You?: Why Smart People Don’t Always Reach Their Potential and How You Can

In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave it Three Stars.

Here is my review.

Starts well but finishes limply

I’ve bought this book twice. The first time it was recommended by someone in my mastermind and the second time, I saw it on Amazon and thought it looked interesting because I was interested in constraints and why people get stuck.

I’d forgotten I’d read it the first time until the book arrived and it all looked incredibly familiar. I buy and read a lot of business books but I can’t remember ever buying one I’d forgotten I’d already read. It says a lot about the small impact of the book on me. [continue reading…]

A book about reframing thoughts

The author has been one of my favourite Internet marketing experts for many years. He trained originally as a psychologist and gradually moved into business. He is the inspiration behind “Ask : The counterintuitive online formula to discover exactly what your customers want to buy…create a mass of raving fans…and take any business to the next level” by Ryan Levesque.

As A Man Thinketh by James Allen

In my review of

As A Man Thinketh

by James Allen posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave it Two Stars. This is Disappointing.

Here is my review

Recognised as a self improvement classic but the language is old fashioned

This is one of the foundational works of the self improvement sector made popular over the last 20 to 30 years by men like Tony Robbins. [continue reading…]

Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind: Think Rich To Get Rich“.

In my review on Amazon.co.uk, I gave it a rating of Four Stars. This means I consider it to be good to very good.

Here is my review.

Much more insightful than you might expect

Self help books about getting rich, like this one, may make you feel yucky. I know I’m deeply suspicious of anything that looks or sounds like a “get rich quick” scheme designed to feed false hope to poor people and rip money away from them.

That’s how I feel anyway, when I move from sensible business books to “woo woo” psychology. [continue reading…]

If you’re rushed off your feet, this book might be the answer

When I first read read this book in the early 1990s, it was a huge wake-up call.

No wonder there weren’t enough working hours in the day as I allowed my staff’s monkeys to jump onto my shoulders. [continue reading…]

Here is my book review.

An important book to read even if you can’t change the inequalities in the system

This book is a revelation and many people have raved about it to me but I read the follow-up, Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant first and that summarises the key messages in this book and goes further.

I love the way this book teaches the fundamentals about money in a very compelling way. Finance and investing should not be thought of as a boring subject and something to leave to others. [continue reading…]

The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur by Mike Michalowicz

The full title of this book by Mike Michalowicz is

In my review on Amazon.co.uk., I gave the book a rating of Four Stars. This means I think it is in the range of good to very good.

Here is my book review.

A hard hitting book about having a “just do it” mental attitude for new entrepreneurs

The analogy about the shortage of toilet paper when needed will take you places you don’t want to go but it does make the point of having to make do when resources are short.

With such an opening, you probably expect the language to be adult in places and it is but I didn’t feel it was overly offensive. [continue reading…]

Overwhelming and you can’t find what you need to know. I expected much better.

This book is huge at over 700 pages and as such, it’s also very daunting.

The author has interviewed many leaders in different fields and has tried to bring together the best of the best ideas. Interspersed between the interview snippets and summaries are sections written by the author where he shares his compiled knowledge. [continue reading…]
