About this listen
Audie Award Nominee, Business and Educational, 2013
Getting an MBA is an expensive choice - one almost impossible to justify regardless of the state of the economy. Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business. You can get better results (and save hundreds of thousands of dollars) by skipping business school altogether....
Josh Kaufman founded PersonalMBA.com as an alternative to the business school boondoggle. His blog has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the best business books and most powerful business concepts of all time. Now, he shares the essentials of entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, negotiation, operations, productivity, systems design, and much more, in one comprehensive volume.
The Personal MBA distills the most valuable business lessons into simple, memorable mental models that can be applied to real-world challenges.
True leaders aren't made by business schools - they make themselves, seeking out the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to succeed. Read this book and you will learn the principles it takes most business professionals a lifetime of trial and error to master.

Best Business Roundup
I have read quite a few business books and This is a fantastic, thoughtful reference for the executive, owner or startup venture. I know I will come back to it again and again for concepts, quotes and references. Its a must-have if you're looking for the best comprehensive guide to key concepts.

great intro before reading more detailed books
some chapters I found irrelevant to my situation but were still interesting. I found the scenarios discussed very interesting and helpful in explaining their respective concepts. great intro to a variety of topics I have never learnt about before. looking forward to reading some of the recommended books.

A formidable piece of work.
Josh Kaufman has written a significant book.
I was skeptical because parts toward the beginning read like a business textbook and jump from keyword to keyword. I learned some things from the first third of the book but I suppose it is not the kind of content I can listen to for extended periods.
But once I got through to the section about human behaviour and systemisation, I was hooked! I was inspired by this book and it made me feel like I too could add business value at work - and potentially in a side business one day.
Looking back and seeing the value of this work, I would read it again one day.

Excellent intro to business
Very well composed book about the basics of business, and being a good person. Thanks for sharing the wisdom that a proper expensive MBA may not be suitable for everyone.
