And, if a book has been particularly helpful or influential for you, please send me the title and a short review about why it was helpful to you. This is one of my favorite books, and I recommend it to almost all of my clients who own a small business or run a professional practice. Most entrepreneurs start with a dream. But soon, the business either grows and threatens to take over their lives, or it fails to grow, and that takes over their lives in a very different, and more painful way. The reality of running a business, doing paperwork, making sales, ordering supplies, hiring and supervising staff becomes exhausting.
Sales go down, stress goes up.
Profits suffer and the owner must find a new way. Gerber writes with insight, wisdom and compassion. He understands the process and has compelling solutions. The book is easy reading, but the lessons will transform your business, and your way of doing business, for year to come. I had never heard of it or of Mr Newberry until a couple weeks ago, when I saw it on the list of books visitors to my website had purchased from Amazon.
