The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business: summary, description and annotation

A world-class business education in a single volume. 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 Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business.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 B-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. The Personal MBA explains concepts such as: *The Iron Law of the Market: Why every business is limited by the size and quality of the market it attempts to serve-and how to find large, hungry markets. *The 12 Forms of Value: Products and services are only two of the twelve ways you can create value for your customers. *The Pricing Uncertainty Principle: All prices are malleable. Raising your prices is the best way to dramatically increase profitability-if you know how to support the price youre asking. *4 Methods to Increase Revenue: There are only four ways a business can bring in more money. Do you know what they are? True leaders arent 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.

WHY READ THIS BOOK?
Just what the world needs... another business book!
U.S. CUSTOMS AGENT AT JFK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, AFTER ASKING ABOUT MY OCCUPATION

Lifes tough. Its tougher if youre stupid.
JOHN WAYNE, WESTERN FILM ICON

S ince youre reading this book, chances are you want to make something Since youre reading this book, chances are you want to make something important happen: start a business, get a promotion, or create something new in the world. Its also likely that a few things are holding you back from achieving your dream:
Business Angst .The feeling that you dont know much about business and therefore could never start your own company or take more responsibility in your current position. Better to maintain the status quo than face the fear of the unknown.
Certification Intimidation .The idea that business is really complicated and is a subject best left to highly trained experts. If you dont have an MBA or similar expensive credentials, who are you to say you know what to do?
Impostor Syndrome .The fear that youre already in over your head and its only a matter of time before youre unmasked as a total fraud. No one likes a phony, right?
Heres the good news: everyone has these unfounded fears, and they can be eliminated quickly. All you need to do is learn a few simple concepts that will change the way you think about how business works. Once youve conquered your fears, you can accomplish anything.
If youre an entrepreneur, designer, student, programmer, or professional who wants to master the fundamentals of sound business practice, this book is for you. No matter who you are or what youre trying to do, youre about to discover a useful new way of looking at business that will help you spend less time fighting your fears and more time doing things that make a difference.
You Dont Need to Know It All
As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON, ESSAYIST AND POET

O ne of the beautiful things about learning any subject is the fact that you dont need to know everything you only need to understand a few critically important concepts that provide most of the value. Once you have a solid scaffold of core principles to work from, building upon your knowledge and making progress becomes much easier.
