Publisher's Summary

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 Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business.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.

Amazing!

I have an MBA. Although I believe MBA degree helped me a lot in getting my career in the right track, this book helped me do a quick crash course type revision of what I had learnt. Good references!

Looking for better understanding of the business world, this is a must read

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to expand their business knowledge and excel in their career. Kaufman's writing style is clear, concise and easy to understand, making complex business concepts accessible to anyone.

What I love most about this book is its comprehensive coverage of essential business topics such as marketing, finance, strategy, and management. Kaufman does an excellent job of breaking down these subjects into practical, actionable steps that anyone can implement.

Another great aspect of "The Personal MBA" is its focus on practical application. Unlike many other business books that focus on theory and case studies, Kaufman provides readers with tangible tools and exercises to put his lessons into practice.

Overall, "The Personal MBA" is an outstanding book that I highly recommend to anyone looking to level up their business knowledge. Whether you're an entrepreneur, manager, or just looking to better understand the business world, this book is a must-read.

Good gist of all things MBA

A good gist of all things related to business management studies, ranging from strategy, thought process to financials and reports.. Josh narrated the whole audiobook with great influence and clarity, great content.. Fine, this can't replace all that is to be learnt in a MBA program, but sure gives you a clear idea about them all..
