We have many motivational books at home, from Stephen Covey to Donald Trump to Anthony Robbins, so I was keen to see what kind of knowledge George Foreman, the former boxing heavyweight champion of the world,  had to impart to his readers. 

I must say I was pleasantly surprise to find that Knockout Entrepreneur was an easy read, not one of those books that claims to have the power to motivate and yet easily puts one to sleep. In this title, Foreman has effectively applied the principles of boxing in the world of business. Some may consider this book to be part autobiography of George Foreman as he incorporates many stories of his past boxing experiences in the book whenever he wants to drive home a point.   Personally, I enjoyed his conversational style of writing, how he teaches that one should run a business with compassion and his faith in God. I also like how he often emphasizes on the importance to have the “right” people on his team, INCLUDING the fact that one should not forget his family.

“What good is it for you to become a success in the eyes of the world but a failure at home?”  – Foreman reaffirms my belief that SUCCESS is not limited to one’s career only. It includes having a happy home.

Overall, I would rate this book 3.5 out of 5. If you’re a first time entrepreneur who’s looking for inspiration, encouragement and a fun read, Knockout Entreprenuer will be a great book to start with.
