BOOK REVIEW #1
Make It Happen : The Hip-Hop Generation Guide to Success *Sept.2006 RELEASE* – Kevin Liles takes you inside his culture and it's an eye opening journey you will be glad you took.
  We've heard these tips before but they bear repeating and overall the message is a really good one. It is excellent for young adults trying to find appropriate direction and alternatives for their lives and their future.
  While the majority of this book emphasizes personal development and achieving corporate results with a hip-hop attitude, it's important to note that this is not a book on how to succeed in the music business (though it will certainly be of tremendous benefit to any aspiring music industry professional), this is a book on how to "make it happen" in any industry.

BOOK REVIEW #5
Execution : The Discipline of Getting Things Done – The difference between a successful company and its less-successful competitor is its ability to execute. Execution is the link between aspirations and results. As a result, this may well prove to be one of the most influential business books published in recent years.
  It is a very good book on how to make things happen in a corporation. It covers the ideas of Jack Welch at GE and some other companies such as EDS. Both authors have had long careers involving the executive management of large companies, and this book strongly reflects that involvement. Many points are directly pertinent to the world of big business, but the book can still have value for those not of that world.
  The authors focus relentlessly on HOW some decision-makers get results and WHY most others don't. Without execution, companies are doomed to failure. Execution bridges the gap between thinking and action in the corporate arena. This book is great for all levels of management.

BOOK REVIEW #7
Empire of Debt : The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis*Nov.2005 RELEASE* – Can you imagine a book on economic history being funny? Well, this one is. The dry humor and cutting insight is so well done, you'll want to read on, long into the night.
  By comparing the current American Empire (for it is an empire, they insist) to the Roman, Spanish and British empires that have gone before, Bonner and Wiggin lead the reader down a path that is both vivid and frightening, and entertaining. Centuries on, Rome is still there, and a great city to visit. Spain and Britain survive and, although they are no longer world rulers, their citizens seem happy enough.
  What will be America's fate? And will the American Empire end any time soon so that present world citizens might actually do something to prepare? Who knows! Not Bonner and Wiggin!
  Still, America has the most dynamic economy on earth, doesn't it?! Hmmm! You must read this book and find out just how 'dynamic' it really is!

BOOK REVIEW #9
Making Change Stick : Twelve Principles for Transforming Organizations – Never judge a book by its cover - Or its size. When this small, slim book with large font, arrived, I immediately thought, "This must be a brief overview of the subject and thus of little value." Was I ever wrong! Richard Reale has captured the essence of a complex subject and made it make sense.
  Many corporate changes fail during implementation. After reading this book, it is easy to see why change doesn't stick in so many cases. It's so obvious - now! The book is practical, clearly written, insightful and interesting.
  The anecdotes and firsthand stories add color and personality, and so clearly place the lesson in front of the reader. And every chapter ends with Questions to Ponder, and specific instructions on how to put the principles into practice. A masterly offering, indeed!

BOOK REVIEW #10
Celebration of Fools – Born in the Wild West as 'The Golden Rule,' the J.C.Penny dry goods chain grew, evolved and prospered under the leadership of James Cash Penny who gave his customers honest-to-goodness quality, value and satisfaction.
  The quintessential American company, JCPenny prospered throughout the 20th century, even during the Great Depression. After decades of expanding inventories and properties - after setting a fabulous goal of "4 Billion or More in '94" - before the end of the 1900s, the retail giant's stock had fallen from $78 a share to just $8.
  What happened to this once proud icon of the American Dream? CELEBRATION OF FOOLS: An Inside Look at the Rise and Fall of JCPenny reveals the answers in this compelling cautionary business story.
  An excellent read! I picked up a few good solid business ideas, too.
