Actual Business Skills

So many books about nebulous feelings around business. “How to make a million dollars in your sleep” sort of nonsense.

The best business books teach you the skills of business: operations, marketing, finance.

This book is finance. It’s actually readable for a normal person. There’s no “double entry requires that the accrual margin depreciation goes into the…” snore. It’s actually sometime you can read and understand, which is incredible given the complexity of accounting.

Highly recommended. Unless you want to manifest your success. Then go elsewhere. Plenty of nonsense feel good books for you elsewhere.
