REVIEW of the Book – The One Minute Entrepreneur

 

 

The One Minute Entrepreneur was an interesting read. It was different from most of the business books I have read as it was told in a story form. It was about Jud’s life and his Journey to become and successful entrepeneur. I found this format to be refreshing as it had a slight element of suspense as to what would happen to Jud next. The bigger purpose where the “One Minute Insights” he learned as he journeyed through life. This allowed the book to take a wholistic approach to the idea of being an entrepreneur. 

However, if I had to make a comparation to One Minute Manager I would say that One Minute Manager was a more ground breaking book for me personally because of how it was presented. The One Minute Entrepreneur also had its moments are are some of the insights that stood out for me.

 

Some of the key insights were 

• Associate with people you admire and can learn from. 
• You’ll be the same year after year except for the people you meet and the books you read.
• When you feel moments impacting your destiny, seize the opportunity.
• On the entrepeneurial path, few people come int your life without a reason.
• To build a great marriage, especially if you’re an entrepreneur, make sure you commit to spending time together outside of meals and sleeping
• Never let your expenses outstrip your revenue.
• Don’t be a banker for ur customers. Timely collection of invoices is crucial
• As an entrepreneur, the secret to success is generating CASH, CASH, CASH.
• Profit is the applause you get for taking care of your customers and creating a motivating environment for your people.
• Working people today want a partnership relationship, not a top-down hierarchy.
• Giving can be much more rewarding than receiving.

Overall it was a very refreshing read and also short and sweet. There were some very valueable lessons. One point that also did hit home to me which was not highlighed was hat many persons are married singles because they truly don’t get involved with each others passions etc. They simply share a bed and share a table a meal time!

I would recommend that you give it a read!
