some pretty good ideas...great presentation..

Visionary Business is a fable of a young man who's just started a business and found "Yoda-like" mentor/investor who guides him along the start-up path with sound advice on creating a business that means something. There's a lot of good, sound business advice here and it's presented story form, based on a medley of real people and events. The reader is good, too! Check it out!

The perfect practical guide for “woke” entrepreneurs

Marc Allen has created a simple guide for “woke” entrepreneurs that helps forming a business into a creative and practical journey. As someone with a vision of a world that works I’m so appreciative of the road map laid down. It’s made writing a business plan go from a mind numbing experience into a vision quest to birth a living entity. ~ L. Rivers

not a lot new here

especially if you have any grounding in metaphysics. Also, the narrator has a slight speech impediment which was irritating to me.

Very bad sound quality and narration

The content of the book is not as much informative as it is entertaining and perhaps a bit inspiring. However there is a lack of concrete information if you are seriously looking to startup a business.

an entrepreneur's

This is an excellent resource to inspire and remotivate any entrepreneur. Filled with precious "ah-hah" moments to give you clarity of purpose and put you back on track. I highly recommend this book for business owners who are committed to ethical business and making a difference.

Essential Guide, Beautifully and Skillfully Written!

Marc Allen has outdone himself with this step-by-step guide to creating your own successful business. He leaves no stone unturned from the material nitty-gritty details to the magical secrets of the Spiritual realm as he (and mentor Bernie) applies to their own lives and Visionary Business. Highly recommend this book as a must-read before starting on the entrepreneurial path!

Visionary, defined.

I first heard Marc Allen’s wisdom around 2006. I’ve held on to the “Type-Z” label since. But I recently was reminded, and went in search of more like it. This book will be a touchstone henceforth. Any human with an inkling of VISION, would do well to remember these simple, yet powerful concepts.
