George Foreman delivers a knockout punch with his book, Knockout Entrepreneur. From boxing to business, he share’s the lessons he learned the hard way and the Foreman way. He has rose above the masses not only as a powerhouse boxer but also as a successful entrepreneur by living his life in the framework of The Good Book (or the Bible).
Foreman uses his boxing analogies to spice up the book. One of the most memorable is found in the chapter titled, Listen to Your Corner. A lot of people think boxing is a solo act, not a team sport. “The most important individuals on a boxer’s team,” George Foreman states, “ are the cornermen.” Every great boxer has three people in his corner: his trainer, his technician and his cutman. A boxer is only as good as a cornermen in the same way an entrepreneur is only as strong as his team. The lingering question that has caused me to reevaluate what I do and how I do it is: who is in your corner? Do I have competent people in my corner? Is it filled with people of integrity? And most importantly, do they have the courage to tell you the truth?
I would highly recommend reading George Foreman’s book, Knock Entrepreneur. The book does not only focus on the fundamentals of entrepreneurship but takes the beginner to the next level. If you want to deliver a knock out punch in life and business, read and live the principles Foreman often took a beaten to learn yet came up on top!
