As an entrepreneur, when your business starts to take off, it can feel like having a tiger by the tail. From one day to the next, you don’t know if you’re going to get bitten, die, or hold the beast at bay for another day. You’re not sure how you can keep going, because the stress and pressure of running your business are killing you—and there’s no end in sight.
Marty Park has operated thirteen companies in six industries for the past twenty-seven years and has coached entrepreneurs for nearly two decades on practical, proven ways to help tame their tiger.
Tiger by the Tail is for every entrepreneur that got past the startup phase only to find the challenges got worse. In this book, Marty shares the ideas, secrets, and tools to be a tiger tamer and master entrepreneur. Drawing on his decades of work in multiple industries, Marty’s insight will help you take your business to the next level of success!
There are so many nuggets of wisdom in Tiger by the Tail. As a business owner who is already 13 years in, there were many valuable reminders and take-aways. I found myself alternating between nodding in agreement and taking copious notes. An easy and educational read.
When you get wisdom in easy to swallow bites from someone who actually earned the wisdom the hard way, you should take as much as is offered, and be grateful! This book is filled with business wisdom learned by a guy who talks to you with sincerity and candor and a little humor. In reading this I could see more than just 99 secrets to tame and master my business, I saw some valuable life lessons as well. I love the conversational tone of this book. It feels like chatting comfortably with a really good mentor. He tells you the circumstances of his lesson, what he learned, how it made a difference – all in a way that feels do-able. This isn’t a preaching or lecturing style of business book, it is a nitty gritty, roll up your sleeves and get busy kind of book. If you are starting a business, take a week to read this book and really digest what it has to offer. If you are in business already – read it and have your staff read it. It is THAT good.
