Work Like You're Showing Off!
Think Of This Book As Jeff Foxworthy Meets Donald Trump.
You get all of The Donald's wisdom dished up in some of the most hilarious business adventures ever described. Only Tim would learn a major business lesson from having his daddy try to electrocute him. If it ain't fun, don't do it. By that advice, you should read this book. It's an entrepreneur's gold mine nestled in a silly foam container."

Couldn't Put The Book Down Until I Finished Reading It
Rarely do I find a book that meets all the advertising hype. This book is has real business advice presented in a humourous way. It's downright funny in places. The advice is solid. I spent many years in the corporate world but I'm self employed now and making more actual money that I did in some high paying jobs in industry. The book covers the traits of the entrepreneur and he was very accurate. I'm going to buy several copies and present them certain individuals in the companies we represent. Many of the VP's and Sales Managers could benefit from the information in this book.

Tim's stories hit home to me....enjoy!!

Common Sense That's So Uncommon Today!
There are two things I hate, and Tim Knox is neither of them. #1: I hate a lack of common sense. My books and my students are both successful because I teach common sense! I can't stand when good ideas are over-complicated, or worse, over-stated just to fill the pages of a book. Tim Knox is a common sense, down-to-earth guy like me and that's the first reason I love this book. And it's all content with no fluff.
#2: What I call the "Ivory Tower Syndrome." You know, those 'gurus' who want you to believe they're some kind of supreme being who never has and never can do wrong. Well, Tim is about as far opposite from that kind of arrogance as you're going to find. He's sincere, genuine, and that's why his advice WORKS. Read this book. I don't care what you do or what you aspire to. Anyone who doesn't learn something valuable from it has something seriously wrong with them!

A Business Book That's Actually Fun To Read!
Ambien works great, so why do I need another business book? Because this one is actually fun to read, that's why! Even some of the best business books, the ones with the best advice, are real face slappers. They are so dry and difficult to read, even though the advice is well worth it. This one breaks the mold in that is hilarious and a pleasurable read! And just because it is funny, does not mean that its value is solely in its humor. No, "Everything I Know About Business I learned from My Mama..." is chocked full of sound business advice of a Tracey, Ziglar, or similar league. The laughter, honesty, and good old southern hospitality make this one worth exponentially more than the asking price.

Keep it handy and keep it close, because, of course, Mama always knows best!

Great Advice For All Ages!
I am a sophomore in college who very rarely reads books unless it is for a grade; so needless to say, I was unsure about reading a business book. But to my pleasant surprise, this is not your typical, boring business book. "Everything I Know About Business I Learned From My Mama" is full of Tim's early experiences with business and life in general, and I found myself laughing out loud more often than not. This book is so inspiring and such a joy to read. I really learned from Tim's philosophy that only you can make all aspects of your life a success. This book is great for all ages; I own a copy, as do my mother and my grandparents. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who really wants to put life into perspective and educate themselves on how to acheive personal success!

First Rate Advice For Those Contemplating The Plunge
Being the owner and CEO of a medium sized small business, I still like to read about others who've taken that plunge into the world of entrepreneurship. I must say...this book is different. It cuts right to the chase and forces the readers to take a good look at themselves, make some hard decisions and determine if they have the necessary skills and attitudes it takes to start and maintain a successful business. Knox pulls NO PUNCHES with his opinions...unless it's a punch line! This guy is funny! He talks about his wild experiences growing up that shaped him and his ideals. The characters Knox writes about are so surprising and different, you can find yourself forgetting that they are actually real people he grew up with. This is excellent reading and hardy chuckles for the Might-Be-There-Someday-Entrepreneur or the Been-There-and-Made-It Entrepreneur. It is a truly great read!

Finally a Freakin' Funny Book About Entrepreneurial Success
I feel that the most powerful ypes of 'personal development' books are ones that incorporate stories as metaphors for the lessons they're looking to teach. This book has tons of real life funny stories that demonstrate factors the author incorporates in his life to reach success. I seriously laughed out loud quite a few times and unlike other books, I found myself looking forward to reading it chapter after chapter.
