The information in this book is a set of banalities already clear to anyone remotely familiar with the way money was made in the pre-bubble 1.0 era (i.e. the highly inflated expectations while losing money at the speed of sound). After a year or two of first-hand experience with the issues mentioned in the book you’ll be able to write your own book, maybe two.
Save a tree – don’t buy this book.

This book is great! Simply written, it isn’t full of fluff to sift through. The “51 Errors” are simply, yet directly stated, solutions are given, followed by real life examples.
Though some readers may first think these “51 Errors” should be clear and evident to all readers, especially business owners, it is ONLY when they taken ACTION to correct these “errors” that matter. Action means CHANGE. Most people fear change and find it a difficult hill to climb. They find it easier to succumb to just staying where they are as long as they are keeping their nostrils peeking above the water. However, if you want to grow your company, change will be necessary. If you put forth the effort to make the necessary changes to these “51 Errors” in this book, it will lead you to growth and success..

This is a good recap of everything you learned in MBA school except for the parts about not being so wrapped up in being an MBA that you forget how to run your business. There were some obviously hard-learned lessons by actual business owners in this easy-to-read volume, and they were the most interesting parts — making the lessons much easier to remember and actuate. The author isn’t afraid to call it as he sees it, and tell the reader to set aside his or her own beliefs in order to operate at a higher, and more profitable, level. Can’t beat that logic. Buy this book and read it. But don’t stop there. Put a few of the strategies into action and watch your results improve.

I have read this book and attended the webinar course. Jim is very good at getting to the point quickly and it is easy to relate his concepts to your own business. I highly recommend both the book and the webinar. I have found this information to be extremely helpful in achieving my business model goals.
