Summary: Cashflow is king
Review: Finally, a book that teaches you how to build a cashflow business. This is the only book that I've found shows you how to generate cashflow (without being in real estate), including the calculations. This book teaches you how to do it like the big companies does. Great reading.

Summary: Create passive income
Review: I learned more about business from this book than I expected. Hall spent a lot of time not only explaining how to build a business but also shows how he applied his Agile concepts to his businesses. He actually walked his talk.

I've been a big believer in cash flow and passive income for quite awhile now from Rich Dad, Poor Dad. However, this is the only book I've been able to find that shows how to actually build a business and create passive income from it.

Summary: Global distribution
Review: I like the focus on global distribution that the book took. It's true that we don't think of better ways to use this global phenemenon towards our own advantage as small business owners. I worked for a large company before starting my business a few years ago. The book was excellent in showing all the required components of taking a small business global.

Summary: Wow!!!
Review: So this guy re-engineers fortune 500 companies and did it for some of the largest companies in the world. He then shows you how to build a global business in this book. Hard to believe but true.

Still reading the book and can't wait to get done. I keep saying WOW!!! at the turn of every page.

Summary: best book on the subject
Review: Stop Working! outlines all the essential components of starting your own business, or improving one that you have already started. It de-mystifies many of the trends and forces of the contemporary, global business environment so that anyone, from a high school student to an M.B A., can not only understand, but can apply TODAY to get results

Summary: Start Big
Review: The concept is a little overwhelming at the start until you get into the meat of the book. The concept is - why start a small business when it's easier to start a global organization. I thought it was quite ambitious but the author did a good job of breaking thing down in more simple pieces he refers to as business processes (accounting, marketing, distribution, manufacturing, technology etc.). At the end of the book it's hard to not want to just run out and start a business and get your products sold all over the world. Start big, work less, and stop working. Who doesn't want that in their life?
