A Must Have Book!

I recently purchased and read "the equation" and I find it to be the last word of business ethics and management. It is inspirational, easy reading and thought-provoking: and I believe it is a "must have" book to invest in.

Want to be purple...read this book!!!

Having read several of Omar Tyree's novels, I was always impressed with the way he was able to help me visualize and become a part of the story. Just recently, I picked up The Equation, Omar's first business book, and was able to read half of the book in one day, which is quite an amazing feat for me, being that most business books are really dry and not conversational at all. But Mr. Tyree not only brought his knowledge of business and lessons learned, but his conversational writing style to this, his first crossover piece. Anyone and I mean anyone, regardless of background or profession can relate to this book. I was curious to learn what an equation had to do with business and being successful in it, but as I began to delve into the book Mr. Tyree explained the importance of the equation L/A*S=B and its components love, art, support, and business. He began to explain how in order to be successful at something you must first love that task and then become the best of the best at your art, whether it's building houses, writing grants, or making sandwiches. He then went on to explain the importance of gaining support for your art and how all these components combine to equal big business. I really loved that he chose, not only to use his own story, but to make the equation and its components real to anyone by incorporating case studies from notables such as Michael Jordan, Donald Trump, Paul Newman, Jay-Z, Mary Kay and many, many more. Also discussing the importance of characteristics like responsibility, excellence, commitment, and purpose, Tyree shows how these elements and many more are necessary in business and how the people presented in the case studies have used these elements to become the successes they are today. I truly recommend this book to anyone on the road to success and aiming to rise to the ranks of Donald Trump, Enzo Ferrari, and Barack Obama, the purple people.
