excellent just like the author

thank you Martha for your commitment to excellence and will to continue your passion for teaching others. much love!

Inspiring, even in 2020

Martha has always been a mentor, her advice, story, and products inspire me every single day. My life goal is to meet Martha. This book is inspiring, even in 2020. Successful businesses are what hold up the United States, without these we start to fall. Capitalism and the strive for quality and excellence is what makes America great. Hopefully we can keep America great. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a business or that is ambitious.

Educational and interesting...

Martha should narrate all her books. I taught I wasn't going to be able to be so interested. I was wrong. Very educational and enlightening.

Great read

This is a great read for anyone interested in business. Martha is clearly an intelligent business owner but also, a creative visionary! I wasn’t a Martha fan until I read her book. Now when I am having a difficult time making a business decision I ask myself “what would Martha do”. Honestly this book has improved my business. Thanks Martha.

Excellent read. Five stars.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in personal development. Grab a big cup of coffee.

Essential reading for Entrepreneurs!!!!

Martha knows her sh*t!!!! She has an EAGLE eye when its comes to business and Marketing creating a Brand. I LOVE how she RESPECTS her customers...

Martha does rule! (in the business world that is)

The Martha Rules is one of the most surprising business books I have purchased in the past year. If you are seeking books on entrepreneurship, Martha's style of writing is succinct, informative, motivating and even entertaining. Her narration is extremely well done. One of the best business/entrepreneurship books in my collection. I highly, highly recommend this book.

Inspiration and a kick up the butt!

...As only Martha Stewart could do and with such grace. If you only listen to one entrepreneur book make it this one!

As I start my new business I now think "What would Martha do?" or "What did Martha say about this...." The book has become my reference to go back to again and again.

My favorite bit of wisdom was: when you see trouble coming you are entitled to overreact or feel upset but never panic and then she explains why "panicking" is so bad for business.

Women in business will be particularly inspired, not that it is strongly feminist, more that Martha Stewart takes a strong yet different approach to business that I first noticed in her Apprentice Series.

What also makes this audible book great is that Martha Stewart is the narrator, which adds such a personal dimension. Go Martha!

Good book overall

If you could sum up The Martha Rules in three words, what would they be?

Usefull, insightful, captivating

Who was your favorite character and why?

Martha. She's like an iron lady.

Have you listened to any of Martha Stewart’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no

Any additional comments?

Martha is not the greatest reader. She's much too strong, her voice lacks sympathy or softness. She's too monotone at times.
