Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

You make your money when you buy! That's right, the biggest opportunity to make profits buying businesses or traffic assets is to buy them with the least possible amount of your own personal cash out of pocket. A lot of people think that the most successful deals happen when you sell, but if you can acquire businesses or traffic assets with $0 out of your own pocket, your returns can be almost infinite.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Many smart entrepreneurs prefer to buy an existing business instead of beginning a new one. Buying a business that is already operational will bring many benefits, including an already established product or service, well-trained staff who know the business, and enough success to have kept the company afloat for a period of time. Not having any money to purchase the business will not necessarily keep you from buying it.

Pretty good
This is very informed and had a lot of traditional rules and expectations. It was good to get an understanding of the “expected” rules of engagement. Remember business is very negotiable and just cause something is not customary doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

Useful and understandable
This can be a great primer for a buyer or seller expecting to engage (or maybe who has already engaged) a business attorney in this setting. A good contracts book on a practical level will prompt the listener to think of all kinds of important stuff that would not be obvious. This book satisfies that need. It illuminates all kinds of angles of what is going on, who is at the table, and what each player is doing. The earlier this is learned, the better. This is the second book I've seen by this author, both being of very high quality and value, and I hope he will continue with titles at this level.

Worth the Listen, Legal View on ETA/SME M&A
I was looking for more information to prepare for my first small business acquisition / ETA deal. I would add this book to a list of should reads, along with the HBR Guide to Buying a Small Business and Buy Then Build. The content in this book is very focused on legal issues. If you want to be able to speak more intelligently with your lawyer, maybe even have some good questions for them, this is a good read/listen.
Some of my takeaways:
* What price is reasonable to pay for a lawyer on a small deal?
* What is "normal and customary" in your Purchase Agreement?
* Various jargon/deal points that were new to me: "tipping basket", etc.
* Representations and Warranties -> strong chapter towards the end of the book. A lot of things here that I hadn't thought about before this book.
I suspect that there is probably something in the book for everyone (even if you have done deals before), but the main focus is on trying to communicate the subject matter to non-lawyers (which makes this very accessible).
I will listen at least a couple more times. If you learn one thing here that helps you save 1 hour during your deal, then the book already paid for itself. I was on the fence based on other reviews, glad I got this book!
The audiobook narration is pleasant to listen to.
