“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This is a mantra that so many live by, and it’s the mantra that will kill your business. Today’s companies need to be on a constant lookout for opportunities, and to be prepared to take calculated risks before things breakdown. Otherwise they risk being left behind.

Step bravely into the challenge!!

Positive and motivating, but not a lot of new information in here. Then again, if it's your first of this kind of self help book, it could be immensely enlightening!

This book has many good points that can really help. Not too many new things that I haven't heard already but it is good to get a refresh course.

Interesting read. Reinforces what's known rather than innovative

[Kunal Tanwar · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book with great content, but badly written.
It seems like the editing process was a bit lack lustre and it shows several times in the book. With spelling mistakes to badly written sentences - sometimes, having to read sentences several times for them to make sense.

The only thing holding any water for this book is the good content. Enlightening and educative. I would recommend at least one read.
Would also request the publishers to go through a reliable editing process.
