The hardest part of starting a business is actually starting. Survive and Thrive helps you avoid the trap of “procrastilearning,” (reading and researching from dozens of sources without making real progress) by giving you everything you need to get started in a single, easy-to-digest book. You can survive and even thrive… and today's a great day to start!

A real business model for sole proprietors or small businesses!

Survive and Thrive isn't your typical business book that uses dull language and mind-numbing stats to get its point across. John speaks as if he's in the room with you, giving you pointers on how to better pivot your business strategies. He explains the impacts of Covid, the Attention Economy, The Age of Insight, and The Great Reset on entrepreneurship. As he quotes venture capitalist Mary Meeker, "We are awash in data, but lacking connectivity and insight." Businesses and consumers have so much data at their disposal but need guidance on how to filter out noise to find what's relevant. John uses his training as an economist to be that filter. I broke out my highlighter when I started reading it, but realized that it was easier to turn down page corners instead of marking up entire pages. Buy the book, and as they say on NCIS New Orleans, "Go learn things."

I first thought this book would be about just economics of building a business, but wow was I wrong!

John shares incredibly insightful entrepreneurial frameworks, along with a healthy dose of vision, mission and heart which all entrepreneurs need to be successful.

John’s approach and obvious caring for others shines through and makes this book an easy and insightful read, as well as a blueprint for deeper insight and implementation that every entrepreneur needs.

So please, don’t think about it - just click now and get this book!

John does an incredible job taking us step by step to starting or growing a successful business. I love how he breaks each step into specific actions that can be applied to any industry by anyone brand new to business or even experienced entrepreneurs. The lessons are timeless and he shares with the heart of a teacher. Unlike other books that are filled with fluff, the examples in this book expertly drive his points home. Definitely recommend for anyone who's trying to figure out the business landscape going forward.

From beginning to end, I underlined, starred and dog-eared this book! It is so full of practical, applicable advice. Every chapter takes you closer to a fully functioning business! Just the chapter on “Prioritize Profit First” will completely change how I do business. Thank you, thank you for writing this book that indeed helps us “build a profitable business in any economy.”

John simplifies business by eliminating unnecessary variables and focusing on the most critical elements. I wish I had this book 20+ years ago when I started, as it would have saved me 1,000s of hours and helped me to impact more people and make more money in less time and with less effort.
