Customer Reviews

the Journey

Al has a gift for teaching some of the basics of business using familiar and sometimes amusing situations. I could feel Gregg's frustration as he took the meandering journey with Mac. In Al's style he entertains you while giving you a continuous flow of useful business ideas and concepts. A Journey with Mac has become required reading for all managers in our company. They all loved the book as well.

A well crafted story that is both engaging and insightful

I am thankful of the day that Al sat on the other side of my desk and asked if I would take a journey with him. A Journey with Mac is an insightful, practical gift to help you improve your Planning and Communication skills. Al's well crafted story is both engaging and instructive. A must read for those interested in taking their personal and business lives to the next level.

Will teach you to look at your business from a new perspective

It is a brilliant book, easy to read and follow. The author is teaching by telling real life stories and summarizing them at the end, so nothing is overlooked. The book inspired me to think how I could apply each new fundamental of business introduced by each chapter to running and growing my own company. It is written in a humorous and entertaining style, and I really didn't feel like I was reading a business book. I would recommend it to anyone who is "stuck" and cannot grow their business. I think many of us feel like there must be something more that one can do to motivate employees, find more time for family and vacations yet at the same time successfully grow their business. This book will motivate and show you how to find your anchors and move forward.
