Description
"The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. "Every word of Mr. Carnegie's lecture is worth study. He speaks out of a ripe experience to young men, with a heart brimful of kindness and human sympathy," reads the introduction of Business.
Andrew Carnegie was an industrial giant during his time, working his way out of poverty into a life of plenty. This book immortalizes his insights on the world of business, which was taken from one of the lectures he gave.
His statements take on a cloak of authority and credibility due to his tremendous success in running his businesses. This gravitas make virtually every line in his lecture a gem of an insight worth tucking away in one's entrepreneurial armory for future use. When Mr. Carnegie says that a president of a company receiving a salary or a salaried officer of any kind is not in business, one cannot help but nod along with him without a trace of doubt.
Although this very short edition was published in 1926, most, if not all, of the author's pearls of entrepreneurial wisdom are still relevant today. It also helps that the eminent industrialist's communication style makes his points easy to understand and follow. Aside from that, he uses examples that facilitate a clearer and deeper understanding of the points he raised.
This shows that not only was Mr. Carnegie a visionary and a driven businessman, he also was a wise mentor able to explain essential concepts and ideas in getting into and running a successful venture.
