by Tim Knox

Praise for

Everything I Know About Business I Learned from My Mama

"Not your typical success book by any means. It's laugh-out-loud funny, full of great stories and outstanding business ideas, and has real heart. This is one I would spend my money on!"
--Larry Winget, New York Times bestselling author of It's Called Work for a Reason! and star of the A&E hit reality series Big Spender

"Every now and then I find a book that is so inspiring I immediately start making a list of all the people I know who must have a copy. Everything I Know About Business I Learned from My Mama is one of those books."
--Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love

"This book is a great both entertaining and educational. You'll get some terrific ideas and insights and have so much fun in the process, you might not even realize you're learning. I recommend it."
--Mark Sanborn, author of The Fred Factor

"This is one of those rare books that works on every level. Knox is an absolute pleasure to read, his stories are joyfully engaging, and there's a business lesson on every page. I enthusiastically recommend that you get this book immediately. Like me, you won't put it down until you've reached the last page. Hey, Tim, write another one soon!"
--Joe Calloway, author of Work Like You're Showing Off!

"Think of this book as Jeff Foxworthy meets Donald Trump. You get all of The Donald's wisdom dished up in some of the most hilarious business adventures ever described. Only Tim would learn a major business lesson from having his daddy try to electrocute him. If it ain't fun, don't do it. By that advice, you should read this book. It's an entrepreneur's gold mine nestled in a silly foam container."
--Jerry Newman, author of My Secret Life on the McJob

Cuốn sách "gối đầu" mỗi trưa, mỗi ngày vừa ăn bánh vừa gặm sách.
Một cuốn sách thú vị về kinh doanh. Thú vị là vì nó thực sự hài hước, chapter nào đọc cũng phì cười vì cái sự tiếu của tác giả, nhất là với những lỗi trong kinh doanh. Thông điệp được truyền tải qua từng câu truyện của tác giả một cách sinh động và hài hước nên cực kì sâu lắng, và hơn hết là nêu bật lên được sự liên kết giữa kinh doanh với các sự việc thường nhật. Ví dụ như quản lý nhân viên như nuôi mèo, hay học cách nghiên cứu thị trường trên chiếc thuyền câu.
^_^ một cuốn sách thú vị !

This one's pretty good if you're looking for some general insights about business . . . and some humor. Like me, Tim Knox is a former businessman gone entrepreneur. He came up with Jeff Foxworthy and is a Southern boy, so if that's your humor, you'll love Tim. He also has some good wise tid bits about business and the downfalls. He began "working for the man" but gave it up after a while because of politics. Sounds familiar. I'm right there with ya Tim. On the downside, this is really nothing more than a bunch of his articles put together to create a promotional product. For us entrepreneurs know that you don't make millions off of your book but the positioning it gives you in your field as an expert. It's 10,000 better to position and market from that position than to sell. Selling sucks and even though I did it for about 2 months total, I'd never do it again.

Funniest, lightest and most engaging business book I read in years.
