Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-30 00:00:00 Sheri Mizell Everyone probably knows that George Foreman was the heavyweight champion of the world... twice! What they may not know is George is a real heavyweight in business and in faith. Knockout Entrepreneur is a faith based business management book which takes you through the steps necessary to build and maintain your business. George does not shy away from telling how his faith plays an integral part in his business dealings. I admit, it has taken me longer to read this book than it normally does. I have just started a direct sales business and read this book to get ideas on how to take my business to the next level. There was so much GOOD information to digest, I didn't want to rush through this book. George Foreman gives great tips for getting into the right mindset of being a reliable, smart, and trustworthy business person to what you should do once you reach your level of success. George ties in Christian Principles wonderfully, things like honesty, trust, generosity. At the end of each chapter, he provides you with a series of questions/prompts to help you think through what you just learned and apply it. I enjoyed this book so much! I love that it's written from the perspective that everything we do is done to glorify God, I love that George gives examples of how his faith has sustained him, I love how the chapters are short but chock full of information, I love how George let's you know right off that there is no "magic pill" when you are in business. Sometimes you will do well, sometimes it will be lean, anytime when you put your faith in God, you will be successful. I highly recommend this book for those just starting out in business as well as those who have been in business for a while and need a fresh new perspective. This book was provided to me by Thomas Nelson for the purpose of sharing an honest opinion.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-23 00:00:00 Brett Houser George Foreman writes about his personal views on starting your own business and what it takes to make it in today's world. He uses references from his boxing career to relate important points of his message. Simple life points, good values, and hard work are the essentials. What a good read I found this to be. Foreman writes from his heart and personal experiences. The basis of what he writes should really be considered core values of living and great examples of how to get along with others. Most of his "life points" could be applied in any aspect of one's life, not just if you are an entrepreneur on your way to starting a business. The book is written in easy to read language and format, nothing that you would need a business or scientific degree to understand. Many of the topics are inspiring and uplifting. Such topics include: Be able to laugh at yourself, Don't give up, recognize what an opportunity can be, make the most of what you have, as well as many others. Foreman uses himself as a personal example, letting the reader in on his personal ventures with his family, business opportunities he has been involved in, and adventures from his boxing career. Now I am not a boxing fan, or claim to know anything about the sport, but what I did learn about the sport I found very interesting. Foreman parallels boxing techniques with ideas that he is presenting to help the reader envision these ideas . Not overly written with Biblical reference, this is a great read for anyone.
