The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business

The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business Review

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 Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business.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 B-school altogether.

Josh Kaufman founded PersonalMBA.com as an alternative to the business school boondoggle. His blog has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the best business books and most powerful business concepts of all time. Now, he shares the essentials of entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, negotiation, operations, productivity, systems design, and much more, in one comprehensive volume. The Personal MBA distills the most valuable business lessons into simple, memorable mental models that can be applied to real-world challenges.

The Personal MBA explains concepts such as:
* The Iron Law of the Market: Why every business is limited by the size and quality of the market it attempts to serve-and how to find large, hungry markets.
* The 12 Forms of Value: Products and services are only two of the twelve ways you can create value for your customers.
* The Pricing Uncertainty Principle: All prices are malleable. Raising your prices is the best way to dramatically increase profitability-if you know how to support the price you're asking.
* 4 Methods to Increase Revenue: There are only four ways a business can bring in more money. Do you know what they are?

True leaders aren't made by business schools-they make themselves, seeking out the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to succeed. Read this book and you will learn the principles it takes most business professionals a lifetime of trial and error to master.

The Personal Credibility Factor: How to Get It, Keep It, and Get It Back (If You've Lost It) Review

This is the eBook version of the printed book.

“The new ‘PC’ isn’t ‘political correctness’–it’s ‘personal credibility.’ This book is a needed reminder that no matter how old you are or what you’ve accomplished in life, you are never, ever done learning about yourself or those around you. From the easier-said-than-done resolution to avoid gossip to the it’s-as-hard-as-it-sounds process of building up your self-awareness, Allgeier has filled her book with the life lessons we never seem to fully learn the first time we hear them. (Or maybe that’s just me!)”

–Mike Staver, CEO of The Staver Group; author of Do You Know How to Shut Up? And 51 Other Life Lessons That Will Make You Uncomfortable

 

“To be an effective leader, you must be trustworthy. If people don’t trust you, they won’t follow you. And if they won’t follow you, your organization won’t meet its goals. Sandy Allgeier explains that personal credibility comes down to a simple truth: It’s not about the type of person you are; it’s about the types of things you do. If you want to be a great leader, read The Personal Credibility Factor.”

–Quint Studer, CEO and founder of Studer Group®; bestselling author of Results That Last: Hardwiring Behaviors That Will Take Your

Company to the Top and Hardwiring Excellence: Purpose, Worthwhile Work, Making a Difference

 

“Personal credibility has everything to do with how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves. Sandy Allgeier’s book teaches the all-important truth that it doesn’t matter how much money, status, or power you have if nobody believes in you. Every parent should read The Personal Credibility Factor and instill its lessons in their kids. Achieving a full understanding of these principles is the first step in becoming a truly great human being.”

–Michele Borba, Ed.D., internationally renowned educator; award-winning author of 21 books including 12 Simple Secrets Real Moms Know: Getting Back to Basics and Raising Happy Kids; Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me!; and No More Misbehavin’: 38 Difficult Behaviors and How to Stop Them
