Abandoning conventional thinking when you’re trying to make money is one of the most difficult things you can do. However, the fact that there are so few millionaires and billionaires proves that most people are not able or willing to think outside the box. Thankfully, there is now a blueprint that makes moneymaking a fine art that virtually anyone with gumption and tenacity can learn.

This book is that blueprint. The author doesn’t want to pull you into some get-rich-quick scheme. Rather, he has developed a step-by-step process that minimizes risk and amplifies reward potential. Through exponential growth and collaboration with the right entities, you can gain the material wealth you desire.

Changing how you think and interact with the world is where the process starts, but not where it ends. If you’re interested in leveraging the business world and becoming an entrepreneur who’s peerless in any niche or industry, this is the book for you.

Just Add a Zero by Chad T. Jenkins is an unconventional business book that takes a holistic approach and investigates how you can improve both your business and your life. Jenkins reveals the thought processes that can help you think outside the box and stay ahead of the competition by avoiding the trap of familiarity. At the same time, I like the fact that he stresses the importance of collaboration, communication and connections rather than simply focusing on competitiveness. He emphasizes the need for curiosity, capability and connections to make collaborations successful for everyone involved. With the insights from this book, you will be able to implement actionable steps to improve your business, connections and collaboration in unconventional and forward-thinking ways. I am giving this book five out of five stars.

A book to visualize yourself with ambition!

Personally, since I was a child, I was required to dream more and be more ambitious, but I was never told how and if in my adolescence I had read this book, I would probably be a multimillionaire today and I would be collaborating hand in hand with all those people that at some point, I saw as competition.
Although the book is short, it contains a lot of valuable information that allows you to rethink exponential growth in all areas of your life. It is a book that gives you the possibility to visualize in the near future everything you thought you could never achieve, you just need to: collaborate with others and have a growth mindset.
Undoubtedly a valuable book, easy to understand and shared from experience which is great, I think everyone should read it at least once in life!

This book contains a compelling metaphor of removing the protective film to reveal untapped potential. I loved this! The read really leads me through the process of identifying and eliminating friction in my live and business. It helped me personally a lot. The characters embody the traits and mindsets hindering or fostering growth. The clear writing is motivational and urges readers to embrace change and collaboration.

a great read

This book has taught me how important your mindset is when engaging in any sort of business. The author has done a wonderful job creating this great book which guides the reader to really evaluate their approach to not only a business, but to our everyday engagements.
In this helpful step-by-step guide, as I see it, the author has given valuable information within its eight chapters. The one that opened up my mind and ideas was a chapter titled “Curiosity + Capability + Connections = Collaboration.” That chapter will expand your vision.
I highly recommend this book to all those looking to improve value to everything they do. The zero isn’t just financially; it’s in quality of time, attention and effort.

the JAAZ method would change your life

The JAAZ method is going to change the way you relate to money, family and even to yourself. It is a method that teaches you how to think big in order to bring growth. Through all the book, Jenkins explains this method through friction and collaboration, as the main basis to achieve excellence.

Before reading this book, I saw friction as conflict and I used to avoid any situation that would drive me to it. Jenkins, with this amazing method, helped me understand that friction is not bad. Instead of it, friction is necessary and is the perfect opportunity to ask questions, think outside the box and start doing things differently in order to achieve different results.

This book is here to make the reader rethink wealth empowerment by sharing practical knowledge and techniques that will help them make money. But what is different about this book is that it focuses on teamwork and constant development. This book encourages readers to seek new approaches constantly and it provides great examples along the way. The author's skills to bring positivism to the reader are very powerful, especially because it manages to connect with the reader on a more personal level. The writing is easy to comprehend, and it feels more like a conversation than a lecture, which made me feel more comfortable. I really liked how Jenkin empathizes with the greatness in all of us and how we can all achieve something different and great. Highly recommended.

A helpful guide
The world of business moves so fast that it requires constant preparation. People must be on the alert all the time and innovate their markets. With “Just Add a Zero”, readers will learn strategies to improve their business and keep it outdated. Chad Jetkins has penned a valuable guide that teaches people how to balance their job with their personal life. The idea is to understand the term “collaboration”, its components and to benefit from mutual collaboration. I think that it’s a helpful guide that will simplify work, allowing business people to enjoy life in the meanwhile. Chad shares his own experiences to help readers visualise the process. In short, it’s a clear, interesting and life-changing book. I thoroughly recommend it.

Teamwork is better.

For the author, confronting each other is not the right way, associating and collaborating is a better solution. Chad Jenkins proposes a new and different way to promote business growth. This book is based on the idea that competition within an industry can be healthy and many times associating with other companies is the best decision.
It is a refreshing perspective in a world guided by the established idea that you have to be the best and eliminate competition. I value this teamwork proposal, I find it positive and motivating. The author is convincing with his explanations and shows many examples that reinforce his theories.
It is a controversial but very interesting read, I recommend it.

Good

This is a sort of motivational, inspirational, self-help, excel in your business type book, but without the yelling, pumped, hyped tone that most of these books have. I really liked the tone of this book, with lessons learned by the author growing up on a farm, but what I especially liked was how the author sees and presents scenarios in a new light in order to convey a lesson they're trying to get across to the reader. Things like jazz music, horses, using friction to start a fire, for example, are presented as tools to get his message across. This is a unique book as far as these motivational books go, and an enjoyable read.

Just Add a Cero brings a new way of looking at competition. The author makes a real effort to change the dynamics the world has been spinning on for centuries. Collaboration is the core of this book, Jenkins shows with data and research how companies who embraced a different vision achieved positive and limitless results, creating a network that transcends the workplace and can be applied in a variety of aspects of life itself.

It was an entertaining read, I think the author is on the right path, collaboration is the way we improve the world and the people living in it, so I consider this book fundamental for the entrepreneur.

In the desire to monopolize the market, different companies have not known how to do it, wasting time and money, but author Jenkins discovered a new formula to maximize time and be successful along the way. Over the years, the author knew how to dominate the market creating limitless capabilities, unique offers, and cutting-edge products and services, transcending the status quo. This is a book that I strongly recommend for being innovative, fresh and modern. It is aimed at all those people eager to dominate the market and add zeros to their numbers. Certainly, a read to win and grown; this author did a great job.

Add a zero? What a good question

This book is a guide for those who need to partner in pursuit of success, but it is also an opportunity to evaluate yourself: Are you well surrounded? Have your relationships in general brought you success?

When asked what aspect of my life I would add a zero to, I have to say I would like them all, and well that's what it's all about.

Chad Jenkins has found some key principles so that you can modify some aspects of your life, perception and relationships so that you can start to stand out, so that your competition will become tiny next to you and all thanks to a matter of mindset.

I loved this book.

What an incredible and enriching book. From its premise where it makes us question what aspect of our life we would add a zero to, it makes you want to keep reading and exploring all that this book has to offer. Something that stands out a lot is how informed the author is and how in every line you can feel his knowledge, which for me makes it a reliable and educational book. It is very focused on how the market moves and how to grow your bank account, based on competition and growth, as well as how it is very important to work collaboratively to evolve and also to generate a greater impact.

Disruptive

I truly love books that get you out of the box, that open your eyes to new options for growth. Chad is an author with a different vision of what success is, and that is reflected word by word in this wonderful book.
With this book, I broke down myths and learned to change my methodology to achieve success in what I do. I think the first message I received from the author right from the start is that we need to get out of confusion, and that is done by viewing the box differently, breaking out of conventional thinking. I believe the author's context is also crucial for understanding the reasoning behind his ideas.
Chad T. Jenkins is definitely a genius.

More than I expected

Recently the author was on my podcast so it was interesting to read the ideas he was talking about. The points he makes are what you need for success. Especially to have natural curiosity. Continuously thinking about how you can add a zero is what will bring success. Having curiosity and building connections is what will help you grow exponentially. Thanks for writing this book because it allows people to think big or bigger.
