Disappointing 16 July 2011

By Geniegal

Format:Paperback

This book starts off in quite a refreshing way, and Brad Burton's honesty is really inspiring - he has nothing to hide - for example he is upfront about his financial difficulties, and there is no wallowing in self pity. For those reasons I gave it 2 stars.

However, it just seemed to fall apart after the first couple of chapters and I found myself struggling to finish it (I steeled myself and did it). The biggest downside is that it becomes a collection of incoherent ramblings that you can't follow. I had the impression a drunk bloke had cornered me in a pub, desperate to tell me his life story which got very tiresome after a while.

So many businesspeople get ghost writers to pen their books, and Brad Burton definitely has not - but he could really have benefitted from a professional organising his ideas and cutting out the irrelevant stuff.

There are also a couple of sexist bits that really jarred. This was the biggest shame for me, as I am actually a member of his organisation 4Networking, which I think is an innovative breath of fresh air in the stuffed shirts that make up most networking organisations (BNI etc) I know Brad sells himself as breaking the mould and a bit of a rebel but he doesn't need to slide into being offensive to prove that.

All in all, really disappointing after a promising start.

Awful book 23 Mar 2011

By Rogeri

Format:Kindle Edition

I really don't understand what these 5 star ratings are about. There was nothing motivational in the book and worse still was a thoroughly dull read. This is a book about one rather annoying man telling the story of what he's been up to for the last couple of years. Apparently he's met a few people. Shame none of them were people that could advise on how to write a book.

Dull, Rambling, Stating The Obvious 23 Aug 2011

By Jordan McClements

Format:Paperback

I went to a 4Networking meeting once - and since then I have been on their email list.
I recently got an email offering me (as a member - which I'm not) a free download of the audio version of this book. Which I did.
I don't think I am going to make it as far as the end...
In short - I feel that after getting it free of charge, I have been ripped off.
I Totally agree with the other one star reviews.
Avoid.

(What's this?)

To each person I contacted, I did what I call my 'Colombo close', a little trick which works beautifully. Just as the other person thinks the conversation is about to end, you say "OK, bye" and then jump in with "Oh, and another thing, (their name), do you know anyone else who might be interested in coming along?" &quote;
