I've read 'em all. This is one of my two favorites. The other is "If It Ain't Broke Break It" by Robert Kriegel. They are both similar except the one by Kriegel talks about births of large corporations and legendary products. You really should do a review on this one too. About Mr. Popeill's book, people just don't know. Besides the business advice his story is such a great American story. About a kid that his parents did not want to take care of and he ended up in an orphanage with his brother for 5 years. His grandparents took them out of the orphanage only to be abused by the grandfather. WHAT A SPECIAL STORY...to rise above that history and start selling in a booth at Woolworths with barely any capital to a great pioneer of entrepreneurship done completely by one man. The wisdom in this book about bringing a product to market is PRICELESS. In fact, instead of explaining how things "work" to people around me that want to learn this type of business, I have just handed them this book to read. Evan, "GOOD EYES" recognizing how very important this book is to all the people that visit this website!!!!

I find myself repeating similar thoughts more and more every day. I work in the music business, so I am always relating a hit product to a hit song. I have heard the people around me put it this way, "Write a hit song, and the fans will beat a path to your door." I like how Ron puts the emphasis on spending the right amount of time and work on something to make it a success. He also emphasized listening to what the customer wanted. In today's music world people seem to want to have all the success right now for no work, and they seem to NEVER listen to the fans. It's hard to get people to understand that they need to invest A LOT of time into their careers when they are starting at the ground level. What a great bunch of quotes.
