Knockout Entrepreneur by George Foreman with Ken Abraham

I'm a sports fan, and I own a George Foreman grill. And, like many Americans, I've always liked George Foreman. He seems like a nice guy, and he has clearly succeeded in multiple arenas.

Given all that, I'm still not sure George's book ever would have made it to the top of my reading stack. However, after hearing George speak, my thinking changed. I wanted to read this book!

Knockout Entrepreneur is a book about George Foreman's experiences and advice for anyone wanting to be an Entrepreneur. It's an easy read, filled with stories and anecdotes - not just about George's life but about many other people as well.

One of the things I like most about this book is that my positive feelings for George have expanded after reading it. His likeability absolutely comes through the pages.

The book shares a wide range of advice and is written with a boxing theme throughout (for example the chapter about the importance of your colleagues, mentors and coaches is called "Listen to your Corner").

While it will never be mistaken for a book of thought leadership on entrepreneurship; it is very good at being what it is - the lessons and stories from a famous and very successful entrepreneur.

If you are an entrepreneur, or a budding one, looking for some inspiration and a positive role model, you could do far worse than George Foreman and this book. I enjoyed it and learned from it, and I am sure you will too.
