Product Description
Mega-bestselling author Ken Blanchard and celebrated business leaders Don Hutson and Ethan Willis present an inspiring story that reveals the secrets to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
In THE ONE MINUTE ENTREPRENEUR, Ken Blanchard (coauthor of the #1 bestselling business classic The One Minute Manager), Don Hutson, CEO of U.S. Learning, and Ethan Willis, CEO of Prosper Learning, tell the inspiring story of one man’s challenges in creating his own business. Through a powerful and engaging narrative, we confront many of the typical problems all entrepreneurs face in starting up their business, from finding new sources of revenue to securing the commitment of their people and the loyalty of their customers. More important, we learn the secrets to becoming a successful entrepreneur, including how to build a firm foundation, how to ensure a steady cash flow, and how to create legendary service. In addition, the book offers invaluable advice, delivered through One Minute Insights, from such entrepreneurs and thinkers as Sheldon Bowles, Peter Drucker, Michael Gerber, and Charlie “Tremendous” Jones.
Today, in the midst of the largest entrepreneurial surge in U.S. history, four out of five small businesses continue to fail. THE ONE MINUTE ENTREPRENEUR offers businesspeople and would-be entrepreneurs a treasure trove of wisdom on how to think, act, and succeed in creating and sustaining a business, no matter what their industry.

Outstanding May 12, 2008
I like this short and to the point book, told over in a form of storytelling instead of an advise book, the fable characters are Jed and Terri and they are trying to succeed at business and life. During the course of the book we meet with different advisors they use including a guy they call "tremendous" who is the real Charlie "tremendous" Jones. They take his advise along with many other "real" advisors and put together quite an impressive read.
The CEO's of this country are implementing the ideas of this book, and you can too (servant leadership etc). Its cutting edge and common sense.
 "A Super-charged Creation!" May 10, 2008
A highly thought provoking book, and something we all need to gain more knowledge about no matter what. I know you will enjoy and be engaged in this book.One Man's Love Story - A Near-Death Experience
Good Balance Between Story and Principles May 5, 2008

The One-Minute Entrepreneur engages you in the story while it enlightens you about the journey. That is, with the typical business book, you're hoping up to pick up a few gems to run your business more effectively, reap better results, or ratchet up your career a few notches. But here, you find yourself actually rooting for the hero--and hoping that he makes the best personal decisions as well as business decisions. Bingo--for you and the hero. Hutson and Blanchard give solid business principles here, plus guidelines for acting with personal integrity and building relationships through networking.
Good balance between story and principles. Highly recommended.
Strong Content written by experts May 5, 2008
Ken and Don are master story tellers and great communicators to business audiences. They have a history of teaching successful ideas. This book is like a private session with the real pros.
