"Getting an MBA is an expensive choice-one almost impossible to justify regardless of the state of the economy. Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business. You can get better results (and save hundreds of thousands of dollars) by skipping business school altogether." -From Description The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman is like going to a top business school for a minuscule fraction of the price. It is astonishing how much you can get out of this book. When reading it, I found echos of all the business training material I've read so far, plus so much more. At certain points I even thought to myself that almost everything I've learned from Tai Lopez in the last year can be found in this book. Probably like 80%. Of all the business books I've read so far this and The Millionaire Fastlane -Read my post on TMF here.-are absolute must reads for anyone interested in business, wealth, and success. I first saw mention of the book on Derek Siver's site, in which he gives it high praise: 10/10. Derek's site is an amazing resource of it's own, my favorite part is his vast array of book reviews/notes. Derek said this of Josh's book: "Wow. A masterpiece. This is now the one “START HERE” book I'll be recommending to everybody interested in business. An amazing overview of everything you need to know. Covers all the basics, minus buzz-words and fluff. Look at my notes for an example, but read the whole book. One of the most inspiring things I've read in years. Want proof? I asked the author to be my coach/mentor afterwards. It's that good." One of the best parts about The Personal MBA is that is actually fun to read. It's well written and not dry like a lot of business books. Josh's writing style made me tear through the book a lot faster than I would normally take reading a business book. And I'm actually looking forward to reading it again.
