• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Full of stories of successful entrepreneurs, The Pumpkin Plan guides you through unconventional strategies to help you build a truly profitable blue-ribbon company that is the best in its field Each year Americans start one million new businesses, nearly 80 percent of which fail within the first five years. Under such pressure to stay alive-let alone grow-it's easy for entrepreneurs to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of "sell it-do it, sell it-do it" that leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and unable to get ahead no matter how hard they try. This is the exact situation Mike Michalowicz found himself in when he was trying to grow his first company. But that's when he discovered an unlikely source of inspiration-pumpkin farmers. After reading an article about a local farmer who had dedicated his life to growing giant pumpkins, Michalowicz realized the same process could apply to growing a business. He tested the Pumpkin Plan on his own company and transformed it into a remarkable, multimillion-dollar industry leader. First he did it for himself. Then for others. And now you.

Rezensionen

Every page, every chapter, as I read this book, I asked myself, Michael E. Gerber, how come YOU didn t think of that? Just remarkable! Just absolutely a remarkable book. A pumpkin! Who would have thought? Every one of you entrepreneurs, business owners read it! Do it now!
Michael Gerber, author of The E-Myth and creator of The E-Myth Evolution

Another great read from Mike Michalowicz! Mike s off-the-cuff sense of humor and business savvy ensure that The Pumpkin Plan is a book that entrepreneurs should read for years to come. Guy Kawasaki, author of Enchantment and The Art of the Start

Hard-hitting advice aimed directly at the entrepreneur who is stuck being a wandering generality instead of a meaningful specific. Plenty of seeds worth planting. Seth Godin, author of We Are All Weird

Michalowicz hits it out of the park, yet again. The Pumpkin Plan is chock-full of Mike s wonderful humor and is an extraordinary step-by-step guide for entrepreneurswhose business growth has plateaued. J. J. Ramberg, host of MSNBC s Your Business

In his crazy-like-a-fox style, Mike Michalowicz reveals why channeling a pumpkin farmer brings you unparalleled success. Michalowicz is rapidly becoming one of the most innovative business authors of our time. The proof is in the pudding (or pumpkin, as it were). Rieva Lesonsky, CEO of GrowBiz Media, former editorial director of Entrepreneur magazine

Mike makes turning your business from ordinary to extraordinary as easy as following a simple step-by-step recipe. This book reveals degrees of knowledge and wisdom I have rarely seen in writing before. If you read only one book this year, let it be The Pumpkin Plan. Bob Burg, co-author of The Go-Giver and author of Endless Referrals

He s a very handsome young man.
Ursula Michalowicz, Mike s mom
