    "Better than I expected"
    If you could sum up The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business in three words, what would they be?

    I thought this listen turned out to be better than I expected. It started out with too much focus on running your own business, but in later chapters the author went into details that are applicable for any job.

    I'm not sure if it's a true replacement for a real MBA, but it's a lot cheaper and I will definitely be checking out the website.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No, too much information.


    Any additional comments?

    A great buy

    "It's a must"

    A lot of complaints have been made on the narrator. All I have to say is: listen to the sample!

    This book is literally 'the boot camp of business'. The author clearly hates Harvard's MBA, but that's okay since he's not the only one nowadays bashing the program. The whole book makes sense and is full of insights and good to know information.

    What you won't find:
    * Detailed formulas or information on a subject in perticular.
    * Suggested study path
    * The "secret"

    This is basically a summary of everything the author read. I am impressed by the amount of knowledge contained in this book. I'm pretty sure you will find at least one thing that will improve your life, or your business.

    Most of the information cited is practical and not theoretical. The author also tells us where to look if we want more information on the subject.

    I recommend this book.

    "Extremely Useful!!! Don't earn a MBA!"

    I have work for for big corporations, I felt a needed to earn a MBA but why? I already have a MSc, so it didn't seem logical, why go back and down, also I am a business starter and this book has gave me the tools I required. Of course you need to keep on studying but the book references are pristine. It has my highest points.

    "Worth it"
    What did you love best about The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business?

    I liked that the author described what would and wouldn't be included, but also cited external material to be studied. For example he clearly states that he wouldn't get deep into statistics but offered great resources for the reader to pursue should he want to improve in that area. I had been working on a business plan for some months now and taught I had taught about as many ideas as I could. I was wrong. This book is packed with a lot of information. I often found myself pausing to write down notes and ideas. I recommend this book to anyone. This book is beneficial to employers and employees since the principals covered can be applied by both. This is my first audible book and I have not canceled my account because there is clearly a lot to learn out there.

    "I'm a fan!"

    Great read/listen - I have been running a small business for almost 20 years this book will enhance my ability. This is a collection of the many nuggets you would take away from business school. It is just enough education to give you the ability to know where to go to enhance the skills you need.

    "Excellent"

    Mr. Kaufman is exceptionally well versed in virtually all business topics. I have an MBA and highly recommend this book as an excellent resource for business owners and any others wanting to learn or get a refresher with regard to managing business . This is one of those books that I will listen to many times over.

    I'm also a Jonah, so I am especially impressed that Mr. Kaufman covers (or, at least mentions) Goldratt's Theory of Constraints. Like I said, he is exceptionally well versed. . .

    BTW, Mr. Kaufman's narration works. Period.
