This weeks book is the Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman I really enjoy this book and only read 10 pages at a time. Here below is a useful summary I found on: https://readingraphics.com/book-summary-the-personal-mba/#:~:text=Kaufman%20explains%20several%20key%20financial,time%20value%20of%20money%20etc. Value Creation This is about assessing the attractiveness of markets (e.g. using the 10 Market Evaluation Questions), understanding what people want and how they evaluate value (e.g. knowing the 4 core human drives, and 12 forms of economic value), how to translate an idea into a viable offer (e.g. testing critical assumptions, creating prototypes and a minimum viable offer, and improving using “iteration cycles”). Marketing To get your prospects’ limited attention, you need to present your offer in a way that connects it with an existing desire. This aspect of business is about framing your offer , triggering prospects’ interest (e.g. through visuals, hooks, free gifts) and sustaining it, and focusing your limited resources in the right areas (e.g. the most-profitable customers). Sales A transaction is essentially an exchange of value. This part of business involves knowing how to build mutual trust and common ground , setting the right prices , structuring the right proposals and fallback options, and addressing barriers to purchase . Value Delivery Happy customers are more likely to buy again and refer you to others. This aspect of business is about increasing satisfaction , and mapping out your value-stream so you can identify ways to improve your throughput, duplicate and multiply your value delivery. Finance Finance is about knowing how the money flows in and out of a business, so you can decide how to allocate it, and assess if it’s producing the desired results. Kaufman explains several key financial concepts, including what it means to achieve sufficiency , how to increase profits, how to look at Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), ways to finance your business, understanding opportunity costs/ sunk costs/ time value of money etc.…

This weeks book is: The millionaire next door. A reminder that its the ordinary folk who are your millionaires. They look ordinary but they have figured out that wealth comes from smart investing According to the studies done by Stanley and Danko. Most millionaires are older men who tend to be self-employed, running a business that is blue-collar and boring. (Over 80% of millionaires in America are first-generation rich.) They make a somewhat higher income than average, but the main reason they are wealthy is because of their lifestyle of self-discipline. They save a large portion (15% or more) of their income so they can invest it. Most other people, whether high or low income, simply consume all their income with extra spending. One of the most important messages in this book is that a high income is not enough. O ften well-educated professionals make a high income, but they spend it all to maintain a lifestyle that appears high-status.…
