EntreLeadership, Dave Ramsey

EntreLeadership, Dave Ramsey

I am into the way Dave Ramsey does things, I have gone through Financial Peace University which has really helped us get rid of a lot of debt, and we are still working on it. I love listening to podcasts on the Ramsey Network. So when I found this book at the thrift store, I just had to get it. It is full of insight on how to be a leader in business, especially your own business, how to treat your coworkers, and the outlooks and perspectives you should have in order to make your business run well and succeed. 

I am an entrepreneur. I left my job last year, not because I wanted to, but my boss put some unethical choices in my lap and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did what he wanted...and he retaliated when I objected, by taking away almost all of my hours unless I complied. So I took the weekend to think about it and pray for wisdom, and then wrote a long, respectful, but to the point resignation letter stating why I couldn't work for him anymore. And then I treated the side hustle I have had for the last 20 years like a full time job and I have done alright. Now, I don't have anyone working for me, but that doesn't mean I can't learn some wisdom from this book. I have been in some kind of leadership position most of my adult life, so I have always felt it was important to understand how to lead, whether you are taking the reigns or assisting someone else.

So many things in here, I kept saying, YES! This is so true! This is great! And others were situations I haven't had to be in, but I gained wisdom from learning about how Dave and others handled them.

This is truly a good one to read for anyone who might lead in some point, whether as a parent, a spouse, a Sunday School teacher, an entrepreneur, whatever.
