BetterBizBooks.com - September 2002 Newsletter

Hey there everyone! This months news
letter has three new book reviews and lots of opinions / thoughts by me.  New business-related articles are on the way, with 3-4 to be published in the month of September.  I will discuss the national debt, U.S. and world population growth, some interesting facts about the civil war as it pertains to economics and a brief discussion of the "knowledge economy."

As always, I appreciate all feedback and comments.  If anyone wants to send some feedback just shoot an e-mail to dan@betterbizbooks.com

Articles
*********************************************************************************

I posted a few thoughts this month but overall updates to the website remained weak due to computer problems.  The bottom line is that my computer was available for only five days due to a power management hardware failure.  An article will DEFINITELY be written in September about the debacle and my opinion of Sony computers and COMPUSA technical services.  

The first two articles are insights that I have picked up from reading books in recent months.  The second article is more personal in nature but definitely worth thinking about. 

8/31/02 - Amazon.com - My message to the company

8/31/02 - You are a Brand

The following are Op / Ed Comments.

8/31/02 - Chinese Bikers - A hilarious picture with some facts about driving in China.

8/31/02 - Afghanistan Labor - YUP, someone is always willing to work cheaper than in another country.

8/31/02 - Managed Health Care? - A sad story about public healthcare around the world. I am a believer that most government agencies are inefficient and, if they can screw it up they will.

8/31/02 - Iraq Part 2? - The debate about whether or not to invade Iraq continues.  I pay A LOT of attention to what the military experts say.  Most of them say, "Why are we going to fight them and it will be a tough, lethal fight."

New Book Reviews

I published three new book reviews (posted in order from my favorite to least favorite).  This month's books are really good books on marketing / internet entrepreneurship.  The first two are excellent management books and really caused me to see the world / business from a different perspective 

The new books are:

In September I anticipate only posting one new book review as most of my focus will be on writing new articles and cleaning up the website following all of the changes that have been made.

Full length book reviews for Free Agent Nation and Differentiate or Die have been posted.  Both books are excellent books.  Free Agent Nation discusses the evolution of the U.S. workplace and how it is impacting society, individuals and organizations.  Differentiate or Die is an excellent marketing book with tons of excellent facts/insights.

The comments were very positive about the website in August.  Newsletter members and web surfers thought the website looked pretty good so I am finally reaching a point of being content.

Moving forward there will only be minor changes to the front page.  I am in the process of changing previous book reviews to the new format.  I anticipate that the changes should be complete by the end of September.

Book Reviews by Subject

New Books Reviewed in August

Al Ries and his daughter have a classic book for marketers and those interested in seeing business / marketing from a different perspective. 

cover

Another excellent book on how long-term profits are created.  This book complements strategy books but is definitely a marketing book.  If you can't differentiate your business you are a commodity.

cover

A good book on how to make money on the Internet.  While the book borrows heavily from others and is nothing more than great sales copy throughout the book it provides a good overview of how various businesses make money on the net.
