“Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership speaks right to the heart of business leaders, showing not just the ‘how tos,’ but also the ‘why tos’ that apply to any sized business, from a garage-based startup to a powerhouse market leader. And by the way, I’m the biggest Dave Ramsey acolyte ever!” (Dr. Arthur B. Laffer, economic advisor to President Ronald Reagan)
“Entrepreneurs are needed in America now more than ever - but there’s a big difference between starting a company and leading one. And there’s an even bigger difference between a company that’s valuable and one that has values. But Dave has figured out the recipe to being both things at once, and his lessons are invaluable.” (Glenn Beck, best-selling author)
“Dave Ramsey has taken commonsense leadership principles and made them uncommonly practical, useful, and life changing. His straightforward and plain-talk approach is refreshing. Even more admirable is that his advice is not a bunch of leadership fru-fru fluff, but it's solid and substantive.” (Mike Huckabee, former governor, FOX News host)
"Very good and usable advice"
Dave has done a fine jod and there is a lot of real world wisdom in here and the book tells you things you can acually do not just super generic advice that no one can figure out how to put into practice. Very little pchyco-babble
"THE most practical book on running a business."
OK...you can toss all those books about running a business written by egg head college professors or knuckleheads who are only good at writing books about running a business. You can also toss the books by successful business people that only stroke their ego and personal brand but fail to share the real deal about how to run a successful business on a daily basis. EntreLeadership is a book that will help your business TODAY regardless of what stage you are at. Practical, Specific, Direct, AND Entertaining. My company is growing like crazy and Dave Ramsey is the business mentor that I need right now. I am now listening to the book for the second time.
"Excellent insights for building a great business"
Dave provides excellent insight into how to build and grow a successful business based on solid biblical principles. He offers many helpful examples from his own experience to illustrate his points.
There were some excellent pieces of advice that I will likely remember for a lifetime that are very helpful for business and life.
I enjoyed hearing Dave read his own book (as opposed to another narrator) because he is passionate about what he knows and believes and it comes through in his voice.
I also enjoyed that Dave referenced the Bible multiple times. It is refreshing to be reminded that God is in everything we do, including business.
"Great book, nothing too insightful"
I have read (or listened to) many business books and it is rare to find a book that doesn't feel like it is just a spin on another book. This book is no exception. Good book and overall above average, but before you start, you know Ramsey is successful, so you know his stories are going to end with him where he is today (vs. I started out recording in a small room... now he owns the entire building).
If you are looking to move mountains, this isn't your book. If you are looking to sharpen your skills, this won't hurt!
"I would recommend to ANYONE!!!"
I have listened to this book 4 times in the last 6 months because it is that good! Great advice on life, business, relationships, money and of course being an entrepreneur and leader.
"Condensed business learning with passion"
This is a book I'd listen to again to make sure I didn't miss anything.
I like the perspective that he gives about employees who arrive late or leave early are actually stealing from you.
Even though I am not a christian, this book had great value if you haven't read all the fundamentals, and if you have it is still a great refresher with practical examples.
"WOW what an awesome book!! Dave really brings it !"
It is truly everything you need to know, but didn't know who to ask. I loved the section on compensation plans and how to hire someone. The interview process that he recomends is priceless.
He put the chairs for their morning staff meeting outside in the snow, because several of them were coming in late. He then had the morning meeting out in it. He told them if they didn't get their act together they would be out in the street.
The entire book moved me.
Dave is the perfect example of what you can do when you have God on your side. When you handle everything with integrety and honor you will be a success.
I'm not much of a reader but I am a great listener. I like to listen to an audiobook before I decide its worth buying the book in print.
"Entre-Leadrership"
This is a Great book for the new business owner (entrepreneur). It gives great insight on starting and running your business as well as becoming and staying a leader. Dave Ramsey's approach is refreshing and encouraging weather your a leader or a follower. If you are a follower this book will help you be a leader if you really want to be a leader.
"Seriously?"
Love Dave Ramsey, but this is way too basic information. I already know about setting goals, the use of the assumptive clause when selling etc... This book is mostly a re-hash of the abundant leadership/sales literature. The chapter on hiring is probably the best one of the lot.
"Informative"
Great information presented in a very understandable manner. You will want to listen to this book more than once. Dave gives so many examples of how to implement his ideas as he makes the book easy to listen to. Had never heard of Dave before finding this book. I can easily see why he has so many listeners and followers.
