I can't put-this book down
by: Rita
As an entrepreneur, I gained much from Robert Hacker's latest
creation, Billion Dollar Company. It is a thought-provoking,
insightful read. An "I-can't put-this-down" type of
read.
Billion Dollar Company really delivers and you can absorb the
material in a matter of a few short hours. Now that is a great
lesson!
I especially loved the real-world points Mr. Hacker made and
the examples he used. They were both helpful and inspiring. I
am certain that this book will be used as a reference guide in
the years to come. It is on my library shelf now, never to be
lent out (you never get those books back!!). |
Strong Buy Recommendation!!!
by: Kevin Otway
I found this book to be a good synthesis of concepts, that is
concise, logical, and flowed well. I found it hard to put this
book down! And with less than 100 pages, it was a quick read!
It is a great reference guide for building business models & financial
models. This book has real life, applicable insights that make
for a great entrepreneur's guide.
This is for serious entrepreneurs who really want to build something.
This is NOT for the get rich folks. So, if you are thinking of
starting a business, growing a business, or already have a business
and want to grow it, this is the ONLY book you may need!
As a practicing entrepreneur, I immediately saw the value in
every page I read. Every page I turned, yielded a well thought
out process with a cohesive message. I completed this book ready
to get to work building my own business & financial models
and plan to refer back to this book often! |
Must read for any entrepreneur
by: Miami Reader
Whether you are thinking about starting a company or already
running a company, this book is an absolute must-read. Applying
the frameworks presented in this book will provide you with an
intelligent view of your business - from what your TRUE costs
are to what your MOST profitable revenue generating operations
are. The methodology Hacker presents is based on years of working
with companies who were a bit hazy on what the mechanics of their
business really were. His methods will give a business owner
(novice or expert) a crystal clear view of their business that
is insightful and more importantly, USEFUL for growing to be
a billion dollar company. If only this book were available and
used by my MBA finance professors, I might not have struggled
so much with understanding why comparing and analyzing the financial
metrics of a company are so imperative for growth and success.
It is truly a brilliant step-by-step guide to entrepreneurial
finance, sales, and most importantly: strategy.

"Bob Hacker has tackled, in simple language and numbers, the
bain of many entrepreneurs: to build a compelling business model.
He deals in straight forward terms with the often unacknowledged
conflicts between revenue growth, profitability, and cash flow.
This book helps one better understand these conflicts and how
to navigate the difficult decisions that growing a venture requires."

"Every MBA student and entrepreneur should read this book.
Practical, well written and entertaining...it will be a staple
for the International Finance Class at Sloan."
Charles Kane,
Adjunct Professor MIT Sloan School of Management

"A great read for any entrepreneur who wants no nonsense how
to advice from a business man who has built businesses on the
factory floor, not in a classroom."
