Book Review: EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey (Review and Giveaway)

Closed.  And, the winners are: Hannah, Debby and Jennifer!!!!


If you are looking for a gift this holiday gift for someone you know who owns or is thinking about starting a business, may I suggest the book, Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership – 20 Years of Practical Business Wisdom from the Trenches. Dave Ramsey’s, a New York Times Best Selling author, known for books such as The Total Money Makeover or the Financial Peace University, presents in his new book the concept of “EntreLeadership,” which he defines as one who has embodies characteristics as both a leader and an entrepreneur.

The book contains 15 chapters, organized in such a way that each chapter in itself is a lesson for entrepreneurs. As he likes to refer to his book as a playbook, you can pick any chapter you want and he guarantees that you will learn something, or at least refresh your skills as both an entrepreneur and a leader.

Some of the chapters include Start with a Dream, End With a Goal, Flavor Your Day with Steak Sauce (about time management), Hiring and Firing Employers or Team Members (what he likes to call his people), and Delegation Techniques, just to name a few. As an entrepreneur, and at the early stages of my business, I found the chapters about defining your purpose, time management and the art of selling very beneficial. You should see my copy of this book -- it is marked up with notes and to-do's.  Out of all the entrepreneur books I have read, this is the one that resignates the most with me and I feel has helped me grow as a leader and budding entrepreneur.  I have shared this book with many friends and colleagues, who are also mom entrepreneurs, and they can't stop raving about Dave's book.  It is so helpful, and a quick and easy read for busy moms on the go.

This book is worth adding it to your library because of the examples and practical applications it contains. It is easy to read and comprehend, and I just love how you can pick any chapter to learn something new or to find answers to questions you are having as you become an EntreLeader.
