About this listen

Is this blue book more valuable than a business degree?

Most people enter their professional careers not understanding how to grow a business. At times, this makes them feel lost or, worse, like a fraud pretending to know what they’re doing.

It’s hard to be successful without a clear understanding of how business works. These 60 daily entries are crucial for any professional or business owner who wants to take their career to the next level.

New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Donald Miller knows that business is more than just a good idea made profitable - it’s a system of unspoken rules, rarely taught by MBA schools. If you are attempting to profitably grow your business or career, you need elite business knowledge - knowledge that creates tangible value.

Even if you had the time, access, or money to attend a top 20 business school, you would still be missing the practical knowledge that propels the best and brightest forward. However, there is another way to achieve this insider skill development, which can both drastically improve your career earnings and the satisfaction of achieving your goals.

Donald Miller learned how to rise to the top using the principles he shares in this book. He wrote Business Made Simple to teach others what it takes to grow your career and create a company that is healthy and profitable.

These short, daily entries will add enormous value to your business and the organization you work for. In this 60-day guide, listeners will be introduced to the nine areas where truly successful leaders and their businesses excel:

  • Character: What kind of person succeeds in business?
  • Leadership: How do you unite a team around a mission?
  • Personal productivity: How can you get more done in less time?
  • Messaging: Why aren’t customers paying more attention?
  • Marketing: How do I build a sales funnel?
  • Business strategy: How does a business really work?
  • Execution: How can we get things done?
  • Sales: How do I close more sales?
  • Management: What does a good manager do?

Business Made Simple is the must-have guide for anyone who feels lost or overwhelmed by the modern business climate, even if they attended business school. Learn what the most successful business leaders have known for years through the simple but effective secrets shared here.

Take things further: If you want to be worth more as a business professional, listen to each daily entry.

Accompanying figures are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good for managers / employees - other books better for owners

Very similar to his other books, audio book is good to get, as get other accompanying material like access to videos. Better for aspiring people / employees than owners and entrepreneurs. Something you might suggest to team members. His books are great - recommend the Small Business Flight Plan for owner. All books come with practical tips. Listen to the audio then get the real book as great manuals to success.

If only I had this before I started my business

This is such great advice. I've seen him speak. I've listened to all of his other books and I'm now implementing the stuff that he's been teaching. I changed my website and I found my conversions increase
. I totally recommend what he has to say. seems to make complete sense and is incredibly simple to follow
