If you are like us, you have read fiction books that you enjoyed so much you just did not want them to end. You develop a relationship with the main character and you feel you understand them. We have had this happen countless times with good mystery books.
However, we have NEVER had that happen with a business book. By now we have read hundreds, if not thousands, of business books. With each one, we learned a little more about how to conduct business. And, apt as not, we have learned what NOT to do in business.
The book Strengthen Your Business: Fail-Proof Strategies from the Man Who Has Rescued 77 Businesses by Robert Thomas Bethel is absolutely the best book we have read on the subject of business turn arounds.
We aren’t given a lot of business theory or analogies based on mythology. We are given real-world examples of how the author, Bethel, has turned around 77 businesses.
We learn how he failed in business and why he failed in business. Nowhere in Strengthen Your Business does the author blow his own horn. Instead, he gives the credit where he feels it is due.
The author tells us how to get the best out of employees and how to use them to the best of their abilities, and have them be happy to be part of the solution.
We only have five stars to give to any book. So, not only will we give all five stars, we are going to throw in a bag of Chester’s Cheese Puffcorn and a Diet Coke.
This is real-world business stuff with real-solutions, not a bunch of touchy feely, sing songs and cry solutions like we see on one popular television show.
If you are trying to save a business and you only have time to read one book, this is the one to choose. It is one you just can’t put down, if you are interested in business.
We were sent a complimentary copy of this book. We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Roberts book was influential, informative, and educative. I couldn't put the book down! This book was my first taste of the world of turnarounds and I've been fascinated since.
In a world full of information overload, Robert has proven that simple techniques and principals can save your business from failure. He's proven this over 77 times.
Strengthen your business is a must read! There needs to be a paradigm shift in thinking about failure prevention as the foundation of your business and growing from there!
