Business Mama

By Tim Knox

Praise for

Everything I Know About Business I Learned from My Mama

Not your typical success book by any means. It's laugh-out-loud funny, full of great stories and outstanding business ideas, and has real heart. This is one I would spend my money on
--Larry Winget, New York Times bestselling author of It's Called Work for a Reason and star of the A&E hit reality series Big Spender

Every now and then I find a book that is so inspiring I immediately start making a list of all the people I know who must have a copy. Everything I Know About Business I Learned from My Mama is one of those books.
--Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love

This book is a great combination: both entertaining and educational. You'll get some terrific ideas and insights and have so much fun in the process, you might not even realize you're learning. I recommend it.
--Mark Sanborn, author of The Fred Factor

This is one of those rare books that works on every level. Knox is an absolute pleasure to read, his stories are joyfully engaging, and there's a business lesson on every page. I enthusiastically recommend that you get this book immediately. Like me, you won't put it down until you've reached the last page. Hey, Tim, write another one soon
--Joe Calloway, author of Work Like You're Showing Off

Think of this book as Jeff Foxworthy meets Donald Trump. You get all of The Donald's wisdom dished up in some of the most hilarious business adventures ever described. Only Tim would learn a major business lesson from having his daddy try to electrocute him. If it ain't fun, don't do it. By that advice, you should read this book. It's an entrepreneur's gold mine nestled in a silly foam container.
--Jerry Newman, author of My Secret Life on the McJob

Informative and funny as heck

I love Tim Knox. He makes his information extremely easy to read and understand using humor and real life situations. I have never had so much fun reading about business stuff. He takes a down home approach in this book and makes it funny and enlightening. Would recommend to anyone interested in life lessons and business.

This is not your ordinary business book!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tim's book. I have read and listened to many business books over the years, but this is the first one that made me laugh out loud repeatedly. Tim has a unique way of sharing good advice about many aspects of business, but in a down-to-earth and funny way. This is a MUST READ!

Bisuits and Gravy - Without the Clogged Arteries

Tim is a guy for whom his word is bond, he means what he says, and he believes in the power of little people. Are those quaint out-of-date ideas? No ... They are the future.

Mama alway said life was like a box of chocolates

Forget kindergarten. All the important stuff really comes from our parents. In the case of Tim Knox, Mama knows what she is talking about! Lessons from life and lessons for business are imparted in Tim's book, sprinkled with a plentiful helping of his unique style of humor. One of the more refreshing business books of the year, you will thoroughly enjoy this ride... and learn a lot from Tim's mama! - Joel Comm, Author, The AdSense Code: What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense

Finally a Freakin' Funny Book About Entrepreneurial Success

I feel that the most powerful ypes of 'personal development' books are ones that incorporate stories as metaphors for the lessons they're looking to teach. This book has tons of real life funny stories that demonstrate factors the author incorporates in his life to reach success. I seriously laughed out loud quite a few times and unlike other books, I found myself looking forward to reading it chapter after chapter.
