250 Rules of Business: Secrets to Growing Your Career and Profits

by Rick Frishman, Steven Schragis
Paperback and Kindle
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing (August 2013)
$13.95/$7.99

TThere is no one rule for business success, no one principle that can help you meet every challenge. The realities of doing business are just too complex. However, there are lots of little rules that can guide and assist you along the way---and that’s what 250 Rules of Business is all about. In this groundbreaking book, Steven Schragis and Rick Frishman have collected all they've learned from the movers and shakers of virtually every industry and boiled it down into smart, simple strategies.

The wisdom collected in these pages comes from individuals who have worked in the trenches, solved the hard problems, rallied the troops, and risen to the top of their fields where they harvested record profits. Schragis and Frishman asked them to share a single business insight---a basic rule, practice, or belief that played an important role in their success. Some of the responses were basic, intuitive. But others were amazing and eye-opening, the kind of nugget that makes you stop and think. As Yogi Berra said, you can observe a lot by just watching. Master just one rule a day and in no time you'll manage everything---people, workloads, companies---with more skill, more confidence, and more success!
