Growing Rich.......2007-05-07
**** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ****
This book is not about money but I can certainly see how people who would incorporate the knowledge in this book could get ahead. For me this was a book of "Golden Rules", which if followed, would definitely bring riches to ones life. I don't know of a single person I wouldn't recommend this book to. Get it, you won't be disappointed.
Weekly Devotional For success.......2007-03-25
Napoleon Hill is the recognized expert on all things success. In this book, Hill reveals how you can grow rich, and keep your mental act together at the same time. Typical of Hill's writing style, the book is easy to read, and features numerous examples from his real life experience. Specifically, this book covers, among many other things:
Why some succeed and others don't.
Helping your children succeed.
Overcoming fear
Living your own life
This book focuses on achieving success through positive relationships and a healthy mental attitude. For more information on achieving financial success, you may want to read "The 17 Principles of Creating Wealth," by Phillip Collinsworth.
52 weeks to growing rich with Napolean Hill.......2004-06-11
I have to admit that I am a huge fan of Napolean Hill. I loved Think and Grow Rich and I love virtually everythingelse he wrote as well.
I found this book to be excellent as a supplement to Think and Grow Rich. I keep a copy on my desk and read Napolean Hills wisdom before I commence the day. It works.
Home Truths.......2002-11-05
Napolean Hill talks about attitude, outlook and how they influence a person's destiny. He's right and communicates this message to anyone who will listen. This book also has updated material more relevant to our time. If anyone is serious about changing their circumstance then this book is a good place to start.
Manuscript for Success.......2002-08-19
This is a wonderful book. What you are supposed to do is read a chapter a week. I had to plow right through the whole thing.
What Mr. Hill teaches, among other things is that you have to decide Exactly what you want, make a plan and go for it. He teaches about 40 other things too, but that is the main point.
Mr. Hill uses excellent examples from personal experience how to accomplish great things.
I'm sure you will love this book if you love success/self help type books.

guerrilla PR: how you can wage an effective publicity campaign.......2005-09-30
even though his book was written (1993) before the internet was a way to communicate and advertise, this book shows that determination and follow through are very important in public relations.
Informative.......2005-06-17
I think that Guerrilla PR is a great book for anybody that is looking to learn about the field of public relations. I am relatively new to the field, and I feel like I learned a great deal from reading this book. The author writes in a very comfortable style, as if he is having a conversation with you. There is a lot of warmth and humor in the writing. And my favorite thing about the book is how the author always made sure to give examples in order to further illustrate what he is talking about. If you are curious at all about the world of PR, this book is a great place to start.
Good Travel Reading.......2005-01-22
I'm scared to fly so I took this book on a plane with me when I had to visit my grandparents in Winnipeg. It immediately transported me to the wonderful and magical world of public relations!!! I soon forgot I was on a plane, and suddenly I felt like Colin Farrell's character in Phone Booth--you know where that guy held him hostage on the phone to make him repent for his sleazy ways. I especially like how the guy called Farrell out for claiming to be this big shot PR guy with all these connections, but actually he had no real connections at all. I also visited the wonderful olden days of PR like in the movie Sweet Smell Of Success where Tony Curtis is the PR man. Whenever he walks into a room, people cannot hide their contempt for this scumbag. I like at the end how he ends up getting the stuffing kicked out of him.
I arrived in Winnipeg safely all thanks to Michael Levine and his book about what sleazy liars PR people are.
Contradicts Most Teachings.......2004-04-26
I have taken several courses on public relations in school. Most of what Michael Levine teaches is totally opposite of what several of my professors have taught me. In all fairness to Levine, perhaps the practices described in his book were sufficient way back when the book was written, but the world has changed quite a bit since then, and the pace of Public Relations has changed along with it. I understand he wrote a follow-up book called Guerrilla PR Wired which pertains to using the internet as a valuable PR tool, but I know that using his outdated techniques, even with the help of the internet, would still not be the least bit helpful. I certainly would not recommend this book to other students who are preparing for a career in the field of PR.
Down-to-Earth, Tell-it-Like-it-is Book on PR and Publicity.......2004-04-20
Michael Levine tells it like it is in how to put together a PR and Publicity Campaign. He knows what he talks about - no theory here. Any business or person seeking to promote themselve through the power of the media - should grab this book - ASAP!
I have dozens of books and tapes on PR and Publicity and this is at the top - my main reference when I want to put together a PR campaign for my business. All I know is that it works - hands-down.
Book Description
Nearly everyone harbors a secret dream of starting or owning a business. In fact, 1,000,000 businesses start in the United States every year. Many of them fail, but enough succeed so that small businesses are now adding millions of jobs to the economy at the same time that the Fortune 500 companies are actually losing jobs.
Paul Hawken -- entrepreneur and best-selling author -- wrote Growing a Business for those who set out to make their dream a reality. He knows what he's talking about; he is his own best example of success. In the early 1970s, while he was still in his twenties, he founded Erewhon, the largest distributor of natural foods. More recently, he founded and still runs Smith & Hawken, the premier mail-order garden tool company. And he wrote a critically acclaimed book called The Next Economy about the future of the economy.
Using examples like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream, and University National Bank of Palo Alto, California, Hawken shows that the successful business is an expression of an individual person. The most successful business, your idea for a business, will grow from something that is deep within you, something that can't be stolen by anyone because it is so uniquely yours that anyone else who tried to execute your idea would fail. He dispels the myth of the risk-taking entrepreneur. The purpose of business, he points out, is not to take risks but rather to get something done.
Customer Reviews:
Business is about practice.......2007-04-24
1. Tire of spending too much time looking for natural foods, Hawken starts Boston's first natural food store. In the first year, the company was grossing $300 and it was fun. "As the years rolled by, the company made money, lost it, hired hundreds of employees, bought railroad cars, opened stores and warehouses on both coasts, set up wholesale and manufacturing facilities, flirted with bankruptcy, and engendered a host of lean and hungry competitors-some of them friends and former associates."
2. The more exposure I gained to the "official" world of business, the more I began to doubt that I was in business at all. I seemed to be doing something different.
3. I believe that for a new and growing business, too much money is a greater problem than too little.
4. Being a good human being is good business.
5. There is no institute in American life that is freer to do what is wants to do than a business, and that includes creating its own jobs. The self-owned and operated business is the freest life in the world.
6. I believe most if not all, the successful business operate with values that go beyond opportunism.
7. Entrepreneurial ideas spring from a deep immersion in some occupation, hobby, or other pursuit, spurred by something missing in the world. The entrepreneur is often the first one to spot the opening, and if things work out that person will have a successful business.
8. To find the beginning, reduce your business idea to its apparent essence. Then reduce it again.
9. If a business is to grow you have to own it-the acts, habits, functions, jobs, and grunt labor.
10. A time will come when the primal fears emerge: What have I done? Isn't someone else doing it, too, and better? You will feel a strange loneliness.
11. Fear of failure may or may not be helpful but it is rationale. Every businessman, no matter how intelligent and resourceful, can and will fall prey to delusion and misjudgment.
12. As a businessperson you will encounter some of the strangest behavior you've ever seen. You will be incredulous to see people you thought you knew and trusted-good people, really become remarkable manipulators of truth and reality. Business is people. Expect the unexpected.
13. You have to gone into business to discover, change, serve, inform, transform, improve, and delight someone. You won't sell to this person otherwise. The entrepreneur asks, "Why not".
14. Business is about practice. It is not about theories or the testing of revolutionary ideas.
15. The major problem affecting business is a lack of imagination, not capital.
16. If money could solve problems, there would be no small business because the big business with plenty of money would run everything.
17. When your business encounters problems and messes stay with them. Find something valuable down in the dreck. One of the greatest errors of much business literature today is its attempt to instill certainty with checklists, must-dos, the motherhoods, ten principles, axiom galore, and other assorted truisms.
18. A good business has interesting problems, a bad business has boring ones. Good management is the art of making the problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get work and deal with them. Good problems energize.
19. From 1978 to 1986, GM grew sales from $63 billion to $102 billion but the company's share of domestic car market fell from 48 percent to 39 percent. Price increases, inflation, and acquisitions were the source of GMs growth. The point, every company dies.
20. Information is nothing more than how to make or accomplish something in the best way: more useful, longer lasting, easier to repair, lighter, stronger, and less energy consuming.
21. Global paradox, every small business has the potential advantage because big business, government, labor unions, schools, often don't deliver the goods.
22. If we are in economy that is organized increasingly around the amount of information that I in products, rather than around the amount of stuff, then the ability to create difference in manufacturing and delivery of goods and service will be the key to success.
23. Imagination and creativity are more useful than aggressiveness.
24. Big business are not more efficient, productive, or innovative than small businesses.
25. To consume means to use up, to waste, to destroy. Real income has fallen. As consumers, we can not afford to waste, so we buy products that are better and last longer. It is our demand for a better designed and operated world that is behind the tumultuous change we see in the marketplace today.
26. The American consumer is inherently dissatisfied. My business has started from my being a customer and not liking what I could buy. I suspect your business will begin that way too.
27. Good business ideas provide people with something that was right there-or not right there-all the time, but no one recognized it. When you recognize and provide it, they'll buy it.
28. Buy as directly as possible, sell directly as possible, and reduce overhead as much as possible.
29. After you have a business idea, I recommend that you subject it to the scrutiny of a business plan. A business plan broadly describes the nature of the business, the type of product being manufactured or service offered, and the advantage or benefits the product offers. A business plan is a test of the depth and thoroughness with which you have thought out your idea. The temptation is to fudge your plan toward what you believe the reader wants to read, rather than what you want to do. A well-developed business plan must be true to your own vision and purpose in order to be a useful tool.
30. Businesses lull themselves into failure, and this often reflects their inability to learn what the immediate business environment is saying.
31. Every business plan paints a rosy future, but few people going into business closely examine the possibility and the results of this hoped-for triumph.
32. When writing a business plan image that you are writing to a friend whose opinion and intelligence you admire, but who knows nothing about your current venture.
33. For a new company, a good marketing plan is simple, to the point, and easy to follow.
34. A consistent mistake companies make is not including their employees as owners.
35. Equity, whether in the form of incentive-type options, ESOPs, grants, loans, or pooled interests, should have the single purpose of creating a sense of shared conditions: we are in this together and will act accordingly.
36. If you are offered cash, loans, or advice, accept only the latter.
37. Friends are the first source of money for most small businesses.
38. SBA is the lender of last resort.
39. We keep our investors informed, not with the volume of information we produce, but with its accuracy.
40. Money goes to the least embarrassing situation.
41. Generosity, ampleness, and abundance draw money to ideas, people, and businesses.
42. A seasoned businessperson never presumes to know the truth of today. An experienced businessperson always asks questions. A green one will always have the answers.
43. Many people in business with little or no education or training nevertheless succeed-in good part because they have an intuitive sense of these numbers.
44. The more experience you have in business, the more money you can spend on a new business. Profit is the cost of doing business.
45. To grow, your business you must earn the permission of the marketplace.
so-so.......2007-02-20
"growing a business" comes across as an early attempt to form his message ... mr. hawken really seems to hit his stride with the opus, "the ecology of commerce"
Sincere and Practical... you won't regret reading this!.......2007-01-10
I liked the abridged audiobook so much that I bought the paperback version. Most business books don't relay sincere, real-world examples and because of this, they are usually a bit useless. This book is straight from the heart and mind of a man that has been in numerous business ventures from the ground up. That's why this book is so great. Most business books are written by experienced business men but most are not written in this face-to-face, tell-you-how-it-is manner. I've almost completed one full year in my first business venture and I'd be misleading you if I said that it has been easy or even that it is a success at this point. It's not but I'm sticking with it and I will make it work. If you didn't grow up with business influences, you don't know how the REAL business world really is until you get into it. You only know what you imagine or see in movies (or hear from other financially broke individuals). So, during my first year, I experienced a lot of negative emotions, etc. I thought that maybe I wasn't cut out for business. Then, after I listened to his audiobook, I realized that those feelings are normal and that gave me new conviction. I now know that being a business owner is more about hard work, creative thinking, and dedication than anything else. And selling... you definetely need to realize that selling is the foundation. Starting a venture will push your limits and you need to realize this. You also need to realize that, at times, you will feel discouraged. Don't let that get you down. It takes a long time to figure out how to make profits in a given industry. Realize this and get to work!
Organic growth.......2007-01-05
Amidst the popularized IPO and venture capital craze, Paul Hawken's work is a testament to growing your business organically. You shouldn't do business to live, you should live to do business. Paul's work is slightly dated and does not account for latest technologies, but his arguments still ring true to this day. The book covers most of the aspects of starting and growing a business; there is content for new-comers and seasoned veterans of entrepreneurship. The combination of common sense, humor, and clever business insights make it an easy 5 out 5.
Different--but in a good way.......2006-05-26
This book is not the standard run of the mill business book. It's almost a cross between a philosophy and a history, but written in a light/easy to read way. Most books on business tend to be detailed, technical, or boring--this book tells business as if it were a story. (Which it is)
Very few business books are written in this style and by doing so he captures some of the feelings and passion of business along with a few strategic concepts. Business comes from the heart as well as the head and I appreciate the way this book combines both aspects.
On the other hand, I had some reservation giving 5 stars. While he extensively chronicles his own business--there are few/no references to other businesses and/or collaborating evidence. Still, I would recommend this book to any budding businessperson--but I'd also recommend reading from other authors (I recommend Peter Drucker) to gain a wider perspective.

Not as great as it sounds.......2000-04-26
The book offers basic information on how to invest and save money, but, that's all it does. The book is more appropriate for someone at a later stage of their life, and for someone who has no idea how one should save or invest money. If you already know the basic information about investing, then this book is not for you.
A Primer on Common Sense Investments and Financial Info.......1996-05-26
If ever there were a standard primer for financial information, my vote would be this book. What a wonderful gift this book would
make for a newly married couple, or even a daughter who has just graduated high school or college. A son, too for that matter! As
someone who has never had much extra money, I just recently graduated from college and am now pursuing full time employment, I know
that when I begin bringing in that second income, that I will want to have some education on what to do with it. I bought this book for that purpose.
It is a basic information book that provides vital facts and figures to anyone needing advice in regards to insurance, 401K, stocks, bonds, retirement and ect.
For someone who has just a limited knowledge of these topics, this book will be a Godsend. A child could read and understand the concepts presented in this book.
It gives resources for more information as well. Pick up this book and you will expand your financial horizons! The book is written in a very casual, witty and motherly type fashion.
It will make you warm and fuzzy! And perhaps even fatten your wallet
Book Description
When Kenny A. Troutt learned about the deregulation of the telephone industry, he saw an opportunity. And when he realized network marketing's untapped power to sell telephone services, he began a revolution. Now a million people — ambitious, hard-working individuals just like you — have started their own home-based network marketing business to sell Excel. Their success and satisfaction come through loud and clear in
The Excel Phenomenon
As Kenny Troutt himself says in the introduction, these tapes prove that "it has never been easier to start your own business and strike out on your own. the opportunities have never been better for you to become your own boss, build a business with your family by your side, and take control of your time, your life, and your dreams."
Listen and find out how.
Also available in hardcover.

Definitely a title to keep on your "personal success" library shelves..........2007-02-18
The Excel Phenomenon certainly has had its detractors. Doubtless, there are handfuls of people out there in Bookland who have been through the rigours of "Excel U" but not fared nearly as well with the product and the "system" as some of the prominent personalities featured in this book, proud of them as we are. Lookit, I'm slightly skeptical about this read, ok? The author makes a clearcut attempt to distance himself from CEO Kenny Troutt and the people at the top of the Excel Communications foodchain, yet (and for this, folks, you'll have to give it a solid concerted read) he waxes majorly poetic on the merits of the company, how it functions, the nitties-gritties 'n all, and this book appeared to me to basically be a primer on all things Excel-like. A posterior-smoocher.
I'm not saying that I minded it. I'm also not saying that it's unacceptable. It's just that if an author's going to state his bona fides, and then masquerade his copy as shilling for the principals of the company he writes about, I'd have to say that mightily stretches the bounds of belief just a wee too much for this reviewer's taste. Just be forthcoming. If you're going to boink me, then boink me properly is where I'm going with this.
Okay, so enough about the demerits of this book. On the positive side of the ledger, I enjoyed the "slice of life" portraits of the people whose lives were changed by Excel. It's heartwarming to read about real people going through real economic day-to-day crow. This isn't a rags to riches sort of thing. Some of the people described within these pages toiled at Excel for a long time and didn't necessarily see a profit return for, like, well...ages! It took them YEARS to build up a steady business and clientele, and in the meantime, like the rest of the working-stiff population, they had to take on menial jobs to make ends meet. Many of these profiles described were two-child families, with spouses who **both** worked. To read about how they ultimately managed to triumph and make it boldly back to the black is quite a remarkable achievement.
Will this encourage other people to emulate their successes? Hard to say. I recommend--at the very least--reading this book in order to, at first, glean some of the feel-good cream which will get you thinking differently about your lifestyle. I'd reckon to say that many of the people who get through Robinson's book will be jazzed up enough to want to go out and make a mega-change in their lives, and what's more, the bulk of the people who are reading this are typically in a "I wanna change my life mode." (Sure, there are people just reading it for reading its own sake...though not too many of those, I doubt). I hazard to recommend any one given book at the "silver bullet" solution as a source of motivation for readers. THE EXCEL PHENOMENON is precisely the same. Don't look to it as a "Bible" of sorts to glean all possible inspirations for the direction you think your life should be going. DO, however, look to it as that, perhaps, **final** book you're going to read that will propel you once and for all on that path through life which will ensure that you've got a steady stream of income which will prevent the need to have to alternately scrounge around for it constantly in dead-end jobs, working for "da Man," or possibly even getting stuck in an earn-spend lifer trap that nets you little in the way of positive net worth.
Robinson, through the device of Kenny Troutt and his cronies' Excel, shows you at the very least that a way certainly **does** exist in order to remove yourself from this dead-end matrix of taking out of your pocket what you toil and labour hours to earn.
The book's written in a no-nonsense style, easy to read, and I found myself liberally jumping between sections as a way to spice up the read. That's my indicator of a good piece of non-fiction, I'll have you know.
What the author is basically positing here, I believe, is that business phenomena like the "Excel phenomenon" are going to become increasingly more important in the early 21st-century. With the explosion of telecommunications products, and as more and more data gets pumped down that line, like TV and other wireless services, there will be many more people getting rich off of these products.
I didn't award this book the top ranking, only because I think that the author wasn't entirely forthcoming about his connection to the relevant Excel brass. It's hard to believe with something this seemingly rah-rah that there wasn't some kind of clever artifice and assorted payola in the mix here. Sorry, but just my $0.02.
Otherwise, it was a rather spirited read.

A political communicator as the author.......2005-01-17
Many of the reviews seemed to consider more the network marketing aka MLM in general than the book itself. I think that the Excel Communications was a very well timed and well implemented business idea that worked.
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about this book. Especially the first half of the book is painful rhetoric about the glory of Excel Communications. Somehow I had a feeling that the author was a professional writer, maybe a journalist. I could not believe that any journalist would write as one-sighted text as this book, and I checked the background of the author: a veteran speech-writer and political communicator. Well, that explained a lot.
The book repeats over and over the same positive claims of working for Excel: Be your own boss, be with your family, and with the hypocrisy of a Miss World candidate the story that although I make a lot of money, the most important for me is that I can help the others to succeed as well.
When you open the book on an arbitrary page, you get the feeling that the book includes facts as there are so many numbers and dollar signs. By reading the text, the reader notices that 95% of the facts are irrelevant like how much the person earned before joining Excel or how much one can gain by saving 20 years with 8% interest rate. The latter fact got 3 pages in 225-page book. The other facts were mainly related to the environment or society, not to Excel. The book had also some relevant facts like how many percentage of the Excel representatives succeed or fail, but those facts have to be dug out from a lot of noise around them, and in those cases the facts are not statistical from the Excel book-keeping but individual opinions.
What I was missing are the facts:
How much of the Excel income come from the telecom services and how much of it comes from training and other MLM supporting services.
How many customers Excel has compared to the representatives.
How Excel is sharing the customer revenue between the person who sold the service, the person who recruited that sales person and Excel.
How a typical representative income stream is composed, how much comes from getting customers, how much customer calls, how much recruiting others, how much from recruited persons recruiting new ones, and how much of training and managerial tasks.
21 years old and almost financially free with Excel.......2004-01-19
This was a recap of the history of Excel. If growing to 1 Billion in sales faster than any company in history doesn't impress you maybe this will. I think that most people who bad mouth this book or MLM in general have failed themselves. Maybe only a small percentage of people find financial independence in MLM, but that's the same deal with any new venture. Those that fail have quit, because the only way to fail in Excel is to quit. If your new Micky D's franchise fails, does that mean that Micky D's doesn't work. I think the problem is, YOU DON'T WORK. People by nature hate blaming themselves. I am 21, a university student and well on my way to never working again for the rest of my life. If you want to learn how, i'll tell you my big secret, I WORK!
An Excel Rep, Biased but Financially Free.......2004-01-19
This book was obviously written to not only to give a historical view of the company but to promote it to others. Excel and network marketing are amazing in the way they give motivated people the opportunity to have money and time freedom. I am a 21 year old college student and i am well on my way to never working a real job again. Those who are nay sayers or bad mouth this company or MLM as a whole are the ones who have failed. They'll be the same ones after they open a million dollar franchise who fail and tell you franchising doesn't work. I've got news for you, YOU DIDN'T WORK! MAYBE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN'T BLAME YOURSELF IS THE REASON FOR YOUR FAILURE!
Whether its Excel or another MLM company, get in now and never quit.
Good read for those interested in NM........2002-12-20
This is a good book for anyone interested in learning more
about NM and how Excel has grown into a global communications
company. For those that say the company "keeps your investment",
you get your "investment" back if you actually work. The problem
is most folks that join a NM company, they expect to get paid
for doing nothing. This is a business! And it's yours...you
reap the rewards for what you put into it. And for those that
say Excel products are over priced,etc, not true. They are
competitively priced with the larger carriers. Check it out
yourself. Yes, you can find bargains, but that's true with
anything you buy/use. The one review that mentioned market
saturation? Excel is a 2Billion company on what? A 2% share
of the 100B long distance industry. And now there's local! Anyone that bashes this book obviously
has failed at NM (maybe with Excel), but I bet they never put
forth any effort to really build a business.
