Book review: Knockout Entrepreneur
Knockout Entrepreneur by George Foreman with Ken Abraham
Knockout Entrepreneur is an easy to read book. Mr. George Foreman draws from his personal experiences a lot. It was interesting to know he had ten kids and named all his boys George, etc. but I wish the book as a whole could have been more practical. I understand that it is important to have the right character; I just think he focused on having the right character and mind set way too much. I would have liked him to talk more on ways to tangibly improve as an entrepreneur. There were a few tips but not enough for a book on entrepreneurship. I am glad that the book does not define success or contentment in terms of money. I also really appreciate him giving glory to God. It has quite a few inspiring stories of entrepreneurs. The book mainly encourages you to get out there and do it. (The question remains: Exactly how do you do it?) It encourages you to never give up, have integrity, be confident, be enthusiastic, never become complacent, and pick the right people for your team. One more complaint just came to mind: When he talked about playing possum, it seemed to directly contradict what he said about having integrity. If you pretend you’re upset or sad about something, when you’re really very happy about it, to make the other person think you’re at a disadvantage, is that not being dishonest/deceitful? I believe so. |
