I love the concept of this book and will be implementing this in my business. It is a business book so it definitely didn’t hold my attention, the reason it took me so many days to read.

So I coach entrepreneurs for a living and I am a CPA. I picked this book up because one of the startup entrepreneurs that I was coaching mentioned it.
The Good
The concept is sound and contrary to the author’s arrogant assertions, hardly new. However, for some people, it is a workable concept.
The Bad
The book reads like a late night infomercial and is quite frankly, patronizing.
However, more to the point, although the concept is sound, the author glosses over some very practical realities such as the need to obsessively manage cash flow in order to support his income statement focussed approach, and his assertion that target allocation percentages are based upon the size of revenue stream as opposed to the type of business is laughable at best.
The book is an advertisement for a franchise coaching model that exploits the weak financial literacy of some business people. It serves a purpose, yes. Groundbreaking? Absolutely not.
If it works for you great, but its greatest accomplishment is regurgitating a simple concept for 180 pages and presenting a really arrogant persona in the process.

Useful read, but lots of fluffy self-help language and jokes that weren't funny.

One of my worst reads of the year! Congrats! You suck!
This is all common sense and not a novel idea. The only thing you’re “profiting” off of, are the poor souls buying your book!
Also, if you’re a business owner, please don’t do this to your accountant. It is beyond stupid. And you’re not paying them enough to put up with this absolute steaming pile of crap.
This guy is a con artist. Look into his “course” to teach you how to do this common sense budgeting. It’s $1,000 a month or more. That’s where he’s making his money - by ripping people off. Not because he’s a good business man or good at managing money. He’s not even a good con artist. Just another arrogant asshat that has no right sharing the same air the rest of us do.
As for the writing itself? Well, that was even worse if possible! Tons of contradictions, stupid pointless anecdotes about his so-called friends and business partners (I’m almost positive these are all made up people), lots of talking himself and his life up, and just other general grossness. This book could have been cut to less than 10 pages. Such a huge waste of time.
Disclaimer: I was forced to read this for my job. It isn’t something I would ever pick up because 9 times out of 10 books like this are a bunch of bull crap. This doesn’t change how I feel on it (I quite like my job and boss. Luckily she respects and agrees with my opinion, being that she’s an accountant and also thinks this is stupid asf).
