Publisher's Synopsis
Are you looking for a quick read that would take you through the basics of setting up, and running a business start up successfully? Bolaji Mofoluso Babalola's book- 14 Days MBA - Step-by-Step Principles of Mastering the Art of Business Administration - is the book to read. The author is a pastor, Leadership Development Coach and a Capacity Building Strategist.In this debut effort, he takes readers through a step by step process of how to set up and run a business effectively. If you have conceived a business idea, and you are wondering how to go about setting things up effectively, this book will get you started on that journey as it delivers a lot of value and sheds light on important business concepts, that can help you build a successful business venture.This book essentially covers these aspects: Administration and Skills, What is Business, Making Things Work, How Big is your Business, The Simple 5Ws and H of Business, Internal/External Analysis, VCR Model, Four Energies and Prioritization. Clarity in these areas is key to building and managing one's business effectively. I found a lot of value in the different sections, which contain loads of business tips and insights for entrepreneurs. There's a strong lesson that runs through the book which aspiring entrepreneurs would benefit from. The fact is that your skills and technical know-how in business might be ineffective if you lack the systems and structures to support your business. This is a book that carefully walks readers through a step by step process of setting up the much needed structures and systems - which the author likens to the bones in a human body - for a successful business that would stand the test of time. Without structures and systems, a business would crumble - just like the human body would, without bones. This is a strong imagery that Bolaji has painted in this book. The 14 Days MBA book is a book that comes in handy for aspiring entrepreneurs, or even established businesses. In every chapter of this book, there is value to derive which can be applicable to any business. I don't think that there's any one who would not benefit from reading this engaging resource which is laden with common sense principles for aspiring entrepreneurs or people in business. Because of the easy to understand style in which it is written, it provides readers with important ideas and knowledge in a way that is meaningful and easily applicable, and covers topics and concepts that will appeal to all.
