The readability and writing of this author felt like reading from a friend, even though I had never met or even heard of the author before. His stories were comfortable like spending time with an old friend as they imparted wisdom about business to me.

Howard L. Brown is not creating a brand new mindset, disrupting the status quo with a mind-blowing algorithm, or trying to give you a motivational speech with a revival meeting jolt.

Brown delivers the way to grow business and create a loyal customer base who will do the evangelizing for you with common sense tactics learned from his father.

Some of the Insights and important points from "Yes Is More"
• You can never have enough good people.
• When you find good people, take care of them so they will stay.
• Whatever you put into relationships will benefit you in the end.
• Lead by example.
• Know every aspect of your business, and make sure you can do everyone’s job.
• Don’t ask people to do anything you are not prepared to do yourself.

This may be a bit too straight forward and sensible for today's business gurus, mavens, leaders, sharks, etc., yet it works. And that's what we want, right?

I found this book very interesting and inspiring. A lot of lessons throughout author's entrepreneurial journey. Every journey has its start and the way it develops but it is always interesting to learn from others.

"We’re going to say yes and we’re going to figure it out later." What a fresh approach. Howard believed in company and people, no matter what a customer asked for, he never said no.

Great book about leadership (by example) and business.

I highly recommend it.


***Thanks NetGalley!***

This book gives a personal approach to business and leadership. I love how the author emphasized the need to respect, love and more so interact with people- it seems that most books on business mention this but rarely do they delve into forming and sustaining these relationships.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
