I opened the book, dipped into its pages and immediately started dreaming of changing my way of life. This book really can inspire you to re-think how you do things, but it can be short on detail ( I build Drystone walls and Stone faced earth banks (Cornish or Devon Hedges)and if you followed Mr Seymour's guide they would soon fall down! I also keep some poultry and we would probably disagree on some...
Having come late to the table for Dragon's Den fodder, I was intrigued by Duncan Bannatyne in particular. To me, initially he came across as an arrogant buffoon but I saw a TV programme dedicated to Bannatyne and it really changed my opinion of him. This book is quite simply one of the best autobiographies I have read. His tale is inspiring, honest and as other reviewers have commented, it is very...
I started my dissertation very late - too late - and bought this book to help me through. It's a very simple, uncomplicated book which helps you set out your dissertation in the right way and guide you through the process of planning it, writing it, and checking it.
Also, as it is written by an ex lecturer the advice is coming from the right sort of person. There is a checklist at the...
Yet another management book that takes what we already know, dresses it up and then sells it back to us. Nothing new, nothing original, nothing worth paying for. Give it a miss!
Not much is divulged by this eager half-goat-half-man man that can't be gleaned otherwise, though we do sadly learn of a prematurely terminated love affair with his late friend Steve scraped-myself-out-the-plane-only-to-be-quartered-by-wild-dogs Fossett. Rather than feeling surprised by this I found my self feeling quite unnerved, but I suppose that is mainly due to the fact that I can't for the life...
Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited should be required reading for anyone thinking about starting a business or for those who have already taken that fateful step. The title refers to the author's belief that entrepreneurs--typically brimming with good but distracting ideas--make poor businesspeople. He establishes an incredibly organised and regimented plan, so that daily details are scripted,...
Love him or loathe him, you've got to admit it, Richard Branson has drive. And guts. And enough ambition to sink a battleship--or perhaps that should be a jumbo jet--or even a whole company of jumbos if the Virgin Atlantic/British Airways debacle (which takes up a huge chunk of this already huge tome) is anything to go by.
Branson's autobiography makes immensely fascinating reading. Whatever...
Simply the best. Its meant to be 5 stars but I made an error! Oops
You don't need to say more than that. The GROW model is simple, powerful, and works! The number of issues and topics related to coaching these days can begin to overcomplicate the issue. At its heart is a process for raising awareness and generating responsibility. End of story.
I bought a number of start-up books to help get to grips with starting my new business. This was by far the best. I still refer back to it. It is well written and informative throughout. (So good, I felt compelled to write my first ever Amazon review.)
