Story
Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

Wide scope, actionable/detailed insight, entertaining listen

Excellent business mentality as well as tangible strategy book. Ranging from how to scale to how to work with people. Most business books are too “ivory tower” and no detail. This book is full of real stories and experiences. The last 2 or 3 chapters were an excellent summary and by far the most value in the book. Great audiobook!

The punchline is "get up early and you'll win"

Not much for specific advice. Lots of fluff and him just saying work hard and wake up early. Some good, most b.s.

Story
Do you have a grip on your business, or does your business have a grip on you? All entrepreneurs and business leaders face similar frustrations: personnel conflict, profit woes, and inadequate growth. Decisions never seem to get made, or once made, fail to be properly implemented. But there is a solution. It’s not complicated or theoretical.

I thought this was about how to build a company, it's not. its about how to take a medium sized company and improve/automate it. the content is good, but not what I needed for my small business.
