    Default Book: The Martha Rules

    I don't know how anyone else feels after reading this book, but I am really diggin it. I like her analogies, the advise is great, and I like the writing style too. I especially like that she refers to some of the practices employed by her friends and colleagues rather than just herself only.And I like that she discusses her pitfalls as well. It feels like I am sitting across from someone speaking vs just words on a page. I like it. I am nearly done with the book and I can say I gleaned a lot from the chapters.

    Basically it's a book for entrepreneurs looking for guidance. It's things Martha has learned through her various ventures (including Alderson Prison) She explains different aspects of owning your own business.
