Knockout Entrepreneur by George Foreman


George Foreman - most people know his name. They may know that he is the two-time Heavyweight Champion of the World. Or that he has an incredibly successful George Foreman Grill. In this book, George brings his faith and his unique perspective to give would-be entrepreneurs advice for their endeavors. He covers topics ranging from risk to perseverance to integrity.

I have read a lot of business books. And while this book doesn’t have any secret to success that you aren’t going to find anywhere else, it does cover all the foundational principles. And it covers them from a very unique perspective. George Foreman brings his experience as a world champion boxer to provide stories and a new angle on those principles in a way that is very entertaining. I really enjoyed reading about how he learned business principles, first by promoting himself as a boxer, and then later by building the George Foreman’s Lean, Mean, Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine into a 100 million dollar business.

This book has one other feature that I really like. Nelson free gives you this book in eBook and audio book formats when you buy the print version. You can read the eBook on an iPad, Kindle, or other eBook reader, or you can listen to the audio book version on any mp3 player. This really makes it easy to read or listen to the book at your convenience, while driving, or working out.
