This should be required reading for anyone who goes to church or has ever criticized prosperity! This is one of the best book I’ve ever read on the subject of money and the blessings of God. If you have ever found yourself asking questions about God and money, the church and money, or whether or not God wants to bless you, you need to read this book.

This book will teach you about tithing, offerings, and extravagant giving. It will reveal to you God’s heart to bless His people when they put Him first, it reveals God’s purpose for prosperity, and you will learn how to put God first in your finances so you set yourself up to be used by Him in the area of finances.

If you’ve been struggling financially, get this book. If you’ve had a hard heart toward churches and pastors that talk about money, get this book. If you have ever questioned whether or not God wants to bless you financially, get this book. It’s a must read.

Some Highlights:

• God is generous beyond our ability to imagine
• Being blessed means having supernatural power working for you
• The days of the blessed person are filled with “divine coincidences”
• Can you imagine what the Body of Christ could accomplish if every believer tithed?
• God doesn’t care if we have stuff, He cares if stuff has us
• A person’s net worth doesn’t tell you anything about their heart
• Get out of Debt, Never manipulate others, Give
• One of the biggest rewards of obeying God and getting out of debt is the freedom to do the right thing when God speaks to you about it.
• God is not going to give us more money if we can’t be faithful with the money that He has already given us
• 3 Levels of giving: Tithing, Offerings, and Extravagant giving

This book was a recommendation from Tim Ferris. He said that he makes anyone that works for him read it. Because I am a fan of his work, like the 4-Hour Work Week, I picked it up. I have also been reading Steve Jobs, who was a master at marketing. Reading about how much marketing mattered at Apple increased my desire to learn more about the subject.

The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing was a quick read, but a fascinating one. This is going to become a handbook for me that I refer back to often. It’s a book that you need to study over and over again so you get the concept embedded in your mind for when you have to make decisions concerning your organization.

My big takeaways: Marketing matters. A lot. Marketing is a lot more than just an ad you see somewhere. It’s everything your company represents. It’s the products you produce. It’s the service you provide. How you market depends where you are in the market, what your goals are, etc. Marketing campaigns can take you to the top or sink you forever. Line extension can kill your company. Simplicity usually wins out.

Whether you are in the marketing field or not, understanding these principles will make you a bigger asset to whatever organization you are a part of. Get this book. Read it. Refer to it often.

A few highlights:

• Seth Godin says, “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”

• Your progress as an EntreLeader will ultimately be tied to your ability to make the call.

• I’ve spent twenty years building this business; I’m not going to risk the whole thing on any one decision, idea, or product line. We never go all in.

• J. C. Penney once said, “Give me a stock clerk with a goal, and I will give you a man who will make history. Give me a man without a goal and I will give you a stock clerk.”

• You cannot work on my team if you are simply looking for a J-O-B.

• You want to know what is holding back your dreams from becoming a reality? Go look in your mirror.

• The big deal here is to remember that the very things you want from a leader are the very things the people you are leading expect from you.

• Making mistakes and learning from them is crucial to winning. Learning from the mistakes of others is less painful. Henry Ford said, “Those who never make mistakes work for those of us who do.”

• if you hire somebody just because they need a job (the what), they’ll work for your money. But if you hire someone who believes what you believe (the why), they’ll give you their blood, sweat, and tears.

• My human resources director has a great saying. He says we have a 95 percent turnover, before we hire them.

• I never hired another team member, after that day, without first getting a budget from them to make sure that they could live on what we were paying for that position.

• The larger the delegation, the more your inspection methods change, but you never sur render 100 percent of the oversight. That type of surrender is leadership laziness and will cause your organization to stray from its vision.

• You can’t delegate to someone until you trust their competency. And there is no better way to trust their competency than to walk with them as they display their knowledge and abilities.

• The longer you work with someone and observe consistency in their life and their work, the more you can delegate to them. To the extent you give big tasks to unproven people, you will have drama and problems. Don’t delegate too quickly.
