Customer Reviews

Extraordinary and practical insight for entrepreneurs

This book has singularly changed the entire direction of my business. It has deeply and positively influenced my vision, mission and interactions with everyone connected to my business. Anyone with a desire to create a business with social consciousness, and integrity at its core, needs to read this book! This should be required reading for every business school as well. If "business-as-usual" is suffocating you, if you wish to make your passion your livelihood, this will show you the way. Thanks to Jamie Walters visionary intelligence I am no longer a business, but instead a "socially conscious enterprise. -Carmina McGee, President & Founder, CaraMina,Inc.

One of the best books I've read in a long time!

I really enjoyed reading this book. I have been thinking about creating a new small business for some time now, and Ms. Walters' insight and advice seem to dovetail in nicely with a lot of other things I have read recently. What made this one stand out however was her emphasis that there was many different ways to determine success, (not just the way Wall Street seems to think is the ONLY way!) Her thoughts on keeping small to grow big really struck a cord with me that I think others might enjoy and take to heart. The book was well layed out, each chapter building on the previous one. I got this out of the library a little while ago, and have renewed it twice...I think I will actually go out and lay some money down for a copy of my own, as I am certain that I will refer back to it for inspiration and advice in the times to come as I launch my own Big Vision, Small Business.
