@Rafael-rf1sp 2 года назад

I'm currently living with my parents and I disturb them all day by telling what I read everyday . I think unknowingly it is a great way to remember what you read. And now I’m currently about 80% through "Playbook to Millions by Grant Cardone. I have read a lot of entrepreneurial books and self improvement books, and this book is my absolute favorite. This book is extraordinary and really gets you to work extremely hard toward your goals in life and succeed at multiple different areas like personal finance, business and career. This is an absolute must buy if you need a push to get you going in business or you want more out of life.

@@RickKettner Being a part of Gen Z, I have always wanted to start a business that not just has profit, value, and people proposition but also environmental proposition. How do we do this? How can we give back to the earth? Also, can businesses take over the mantle from the government to practice and ensure sustainability? Which are the companies that are pioneers in green business? What strategies can businesses develop to make the first move before forthcoming laws make it a compulsion?

@sorcererstone3303 2 года назад

When you are a solo founder, you wear many hats & do just about everythings - code development, market/paint points validation,... Such is the case, the book/concept sprint will not work as it is a framework for a team. Are there any books that are better fit for solo founders?

@alialsayoud8308 Год назад

Thanks Rick for your content that has been a great resource to entrepreneurs looking for books that expand their knowledge. But if you're torn between Marketing Made Simple and Dotcom Secrets by Russell Brunson, let us help! Are they similar enough in their content where it might be redundant reading both? Or is the insight from each so valuable that having two looks at marketing could benefit your business even more?

@RickKettner Год назад

I'm an advocate for reading as much as you can and getting multiple perspectives as time permits. A great approach is to start with one today and read the other in 3-6 months as both a refresher on the subject and a fresh perspective.
