Este libro me gustó mucho porque se me hizo útil y práctico. Shaan Patel hace como una recopilación de los libros mas leídos y famosos en esta época y explica 48 estrategias, principios y reglas para utilizar en la vida y en los negocios. Abarca temas como emprendimiento, marketing, productividad, relaciones humanas, el poder de la mente, entre otros.
Me gustó que analiza ciertos principios muy conocidos y explica en ejemplos cómo ponerlos en practica, como la ley de la atracción, de parkinson, el principio de pareto, etc.
Es una buena opción de libro si estas buscando consejos prácticos y rápidos. En lo personal, me gustó y adapté a mi rutina la estrategia de empezar los días con una rutina mañanera y una hora productiva o "power hour" sin distracciones ni tecnología.
Frase favorita: "If you do not enjoy your current situation, you will not enjoy your future one"

Recomendado para todo emprendedor y personas en general en busca de estrategias para alcanzar el éxito profesional.
En este libro, su autor Shaan Patel (fundador de Prep-Expert, empresa que comenzó desde cero y la convirtió en una multimillonaria en los Estados Unidos) nos relata un poco sobre su historia personal, como fundo su empresa, como fue creciendo y como logro llevarla al siguiente nivel, al punto de ser ahora socio de uno de los tiburones mas destacados de Shark Tank USA, billionaire Mark Cuban.
Shaan comparte 48 estrategias aplicables en diferentes ámbitos de la vida en general, que van desde lo mental y social hasta temas relacionados con la productividad, la riqueza, entre otras estrategias universales que le han servido a lo largo de su carrera para tener éxito en lo personal y profesional.
Me gusto mucho la metodología que utilizó en el libro para explicar cada una de las distintas estrategias, además de agregarles ejemplos reales de sus experiencias, los cuales usó para aterrizar ideas.
En conclusión, me pareció un libro inspirador, motivador y revelador. Otra de las muchas historias increíbles de gente que viene desde abajo y demuestran que con ideas claras y trabajo duro e inteligente, es posible alcanzar el éxito. Nos demuestra que todos tenemos algo especial en lo que podemos destacar y que tenemos a nuestro alcance el poder de emprender y alcanzar nuestros objetivos.
Frase Favorita: "Many people are fooled into thinking that what makes million-dollar companies is the idea. The idea doesn't matter all that much. The execution is far more important".

You may have heard it before... but good advice
If you read a lot of entrepreneurship of self-help books, they all tend to run together and generally they present the same basic ideas in slightly different forms. This book doesn’t present a radically different strategy; it presents many of the same general ideas. That being said, there are some interesting or controversial points, for example, don’t follow your passion, and the information presented is helpful and relevant. In the end, your success or failure is dependent on how much you can apply and how much good luck you have as you apply these strategies.

Great success strategies with examples
I remember watching this episode of Shark Tank, one of my favorite shows, and was really happy that Mark partnered with him. I liked this book because it not only laid out the practical strategies, but followed up each point with great examples. Highly recommend it!

Although Shaan is not discovering the wheel here, he manages to compile a good summary of tips and recommendations to elevate performance, supported by real success examples. Enough to get you thinking with an open mind

Excellent book!
Worth every penny. This book ranks up there with Rich Dad Poor Dad and Think and Grow Rich for offering specific and practical advice. Also, I emailed Mr. Patel and he responded.

Nice job, and well-written!
This is a good, solid effort. I like the fact that the author uses many personal anecdotes, and many of them are fascinating. I enjoyed Shaan’s highly-disciplined stunting structure, yet there is an ease to his cadence. Recommended!

This book supported a lot of what I've learned about success.
When I first started reading this book, I had no idea there would be so much awesome information about personal growth that can tie into business growth.
Truly a great read.

very good tips for success
Author does a fine job of providing practical tips for success in different areas. Some advice is pretty common and can be found at other places, however there are a few unique strategies in the book that can help anyone.

Buen libro. Estrategias que posiblemente hayas oído hablar. Hay un par estrategias buenas para implementar pero otras que no les veo el sentido. He hecho un resumen más extenso y si quieres ver las cosas que he subrayado las puedes ver aquí: https://albertorb.com/self-made-success/
