Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-06 00:00:00 Mario Vela Recommended by my Goodreads friend Fabian. Fantastic (audio)book, but very dense. I sped through it the first time, like watching a movie for enjoyment. I will re-read again to absorb fully & critically. Phenomenal business advice from someone who’s truly “been there, done that.” ——— “For 25 years I have been building a business; I have given it all of my time and thought. I am still giving it all of my time and thought, and intend to keep on doing so. I do not know whether I am the SLAVE OR THE MASTER of that business. But THE BIG THING IS THAT I DO NOT CARE WHICH, FOR THE JOB IS WORTH DOING AS EITHER MASTER OR SERVANT. The job is worth doing not only well, but there is a great joy in doing it.” “All other considerations aside, the very worries and insistent demands on one’s MENTALITY and PHYSIQUE are a joy. For they are TESTS, CHALLENGES. Business is NOT a game. Business is NOT a science. There are too many unknown and unknowable factors ever to permit it to be a science. Perhaps business is a profession, of that I am not sure; but rather I think that BUSINESS COMPREHENDS EVERYTHING. And that is one of the reasons why I like to be in it. Business leads one into every profession, and every walk of life — IT IS ‘THE’ SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE.” “I like PEOPLE, and business brings one in close contact with a never ending stream of people. And finally, there is the SUPREME SATISFACTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT — OF PLANNING TO DO SOMETHING, AND OF CARRYING THROUGH THOSE PLANS AGAINST ALL OBSTACLES TO A FINAL ACCOMPLISHMENT.” “Business is made up of opportunities for great sacrifices and great accomplishments. IT IS THE MOST ABSORBING OCCUPATION ON EARTH.”

Review # 2 was written on 2015-11-06 00:00:00 F�lix Garc�s I almost gave up on this book because it started off as random advice with no context. But once the story started everything started to make sense and I found myself really enjoying it towards the end. The early automobile industry reminds me a lot of Silicon Vally today. I think this book is a great read for anyone in the tech industry or who wants to be a CEO some day.
