The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business by Josh Kaufman is a comprehensive guide that provides invaluable insights and practical strategies for individuals seeking to develop a solid foundation in business knowledge and skills, all without the traditional costs and time commitment of a formal MBA program. Getting an MBA is an expensive choice that is hard to make sense of no matter what the state of the economy is. Even top schools like Harvard and Wharton teach you more about PowerPoint slideshows and useless financial models than how to run a real business. If you don't go to business school, you can get better results and save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Josh Kaufman started PersonalMBA.com as an option to the waste of money that is business school. His blog has helped hundreds of thousands of people find the best business books and most important business ideas ever. Now, in one big book, he tells you everything you need to know about entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, negotiating, operations, efficiency, system design, and much more.
The Personal MBA boils down the most important business lessons into easy-to-remember mental models that can be used to solve problems in the real world.
True leaders don't come from business schools; they find the information, skills, and experience they need to be successful on their own. If you read this book, you'll learn the business ideas that most people have to try and fail at for their whole careers.
