This book looks at the first issue. [continue reading…]

A good, practical book on business growth

There are quite a few profit improvement books with similar titles but different approaches.

This is a good, practical book that looks at profit improvement through business growth rather than cutting costs and eliminating waste. It’s also tactical rather than strategic. [continue reading…]

“How to Double Your Profits within the Year: An Action Plan For Your Business“.

In my review at Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book a Four Stars rating. This puts it in the good to very good category.

Here is my review.

A helpful guide focused on profit improvement.

This is the second time I’ve bought this book. I remembered it as a helpful guide but I couldn’t find my original copy.

This one is in a slightly different format. The book print size is smaller meaning the dimensions of the book can be trimmed. Personally I wish they hadn’t done it because it has made the book harder to read and the margin between the print and the binding is tighter than I’d like. [continue reading…]

In my review posted of

Go Forth & Multiply: 7 Day Profit Boosting Plan

by Robert Mark Hurn posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave it Three Stars.

Here is my review.

The contents is much better than the feel of the book

The worst part of this book is its feel. It’s been self published and the author has used a company that seems to have a different binding technique. It’s hard to describe but it’s one of those books that you expect the pages to fall out if you read it much or if the spine gets broken.

The book itself has plenty of pages for notes and personal pledges to try to turn it into a workbook. Good intentions but it also pads out the contents over more pages. I doubt many people will use these pages as intended because of the binding issue. [continue reading…]

You may think you focus on profit but after reading this book, the new you is going to be much more focused

Who should read a book about doubling profits?

Pretty much every business owner because running a more profitable company gives you the chance to be more innovative for customers and a better employer for the people who are good at their jobs. In contrast, a struggling business is constantly juggling costs and forced to make hard decisions. [continue reading…]

“Money-Making Secrets of Marketing Genius Jay Abraham and Other Marketing Wizards A No-Nonsense Guide to Great Wealth and Personal Fortune“

although it is much better known as the Mr X Book.

In my review at Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book a FIVE STARS rating. This means that I consider it to be excellent.

Here is my book review.

A legendary book about marketing. It’s old but much of it is still extremely relevant.

Generally this book is better known as the Mr X book.

The origins are controversial. The story told is that one of Abraham’s best clients and most diligent students spotted an opportunity of sharing the Abraham money-making secrets with small businesses who couldn’t afford the $5,000 to $25,000 courses. He poured over his extensive course notes and eventually produced the book, started to offer it to the public and inevitably there was a big dispute with Abraham who recovered his intellectual property.

By the author of a book about the Law of Attraction and she talks about her coaching business

First I should point of the author has written a book about the Law of Attraction.

That concept of “think about what you want and you’ll get it” might put you off but I think there’s something in it. Or at least in getting clear about your direction, identifying actions that will help and then doing them very effectively. I also accept that your mindset can be a major constraint if you keep having negative thoughts. [continue reading…]

Business advice for women. An innovative system but it requires different thinking

As a man, I’m not the target market for this book which is very much focused on helping women succeed in business.

I’ve read and reviewed a similar book in the past “The Chic Entrepreneur” which I thought was really effective because it gave business lessons through stories.

This also has plenty to offer but it’s very much based around a business model, the 5 Principles of Predictable Profit. [continue reading…]
