Building a Winning Business | 70 Takeaways for Creating a Strong Company

1. A Proven Path Through The Maze.

As a small business owner I appreciate Tom's hard-hitting and concise input.

This book is a quick read and I appreciate the powerful impact it has brought to my business outlook, especially in these difficult financial times. – Steve Schmidt, Founder and CEO of AbeTech, technology supplier to 25% of the Fortune 500

Award winning business leader Tom Salonek explains in short, practical sections how to improve yourself, your team, and your business.

2. 70 First-Hand Takeaways That Work.

Tom Salonek, a successful entrepreneur of the first order, has addressed the fact that starting a new business or company in these critical economic times not only is conceivable - it is possible to come to the end of the day a winner. Knowing that the bookshelves and sites for downloading Internet literature are bursting at the seams, he wisely (and thankfully for those of us who plan to use his concepts) keeps his book of “how to build a winning business” short, terse, pointed, and immensely usable. – Grady Harp, Amazon.com Top 10 Book Reviewer

Each method is based on proven methods that work. These “takeaways” have helped Salonek to grow his company from a $2 million firm in 2001 to one worth $10 million in 2011. While other books bombard readers with dozens, or even hundreds, of pages of “reinforcing data,” Building a Winning Business cuts to the chase and provides only what you need to know to grow yourself, your team, and your firm.
