Media reviews

Advance Praise for The One Minute Entrepreneur

“Ken Blanchard, the master storyteller and brilliant consultant/trainer, focuses his unique wisdom and keen insights on helping entrepreneurs achieve enduring success. Another grand slam!”
- Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness

“Ken Blanchard invented the art of business fables, and he and his co-authors have written another winner.  This is a wonderful mix practicality and entertainment.  A quick, must read for anyone with an inkling for going out on their own, and probably just as relevant for readers interested in personal and professional improvement.” 
-- Patrick Lencioni, president, The Table Group; author, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team.

—Mark Sanborn, president, Sanborn and Associates, and author of The Fred Factor and You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader

“There is much said about stewardship in life and business…however, the greatest stewardship is of influence. The One Minute Entrepreneur will teach you the importance of influence and inspire you to choose mentors wisely.”
—Jim Amos, chairman emeritus, UPS

“We each have a lot more to learn and a lot more to teach. The One Minute Entrepreneur will help you do both.”
—R. Brad Martin, chairman of the board, Saks Incorporated

“The One Minute Entrepreneur will help you understand that while success might be easier said than done, focusing on a few essentials will dramatically increase your probability of success—and help you have fun doing it.”
—Michael E. Gerber, entrepreneur and author of The E-Myth, The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Fail and What to Do About It, and Awakening the Entrepreneur Within
