Longaberger: An American Success Story
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-04-02 Summary: Wonderful Business Tips If you are a real businessman ... If a book's name is success story it will not be a business textbook to explain business strategy or corporate finance. In this book you can see the optimism (which we need right now), persuasion(every entreprenuer needs), and a soft touch to people ( key element to create successful business). So as you understand this book do not make you understand hard business issues but make you understand that the realization of dreams are not restricted to business educated people... It shows you a person who has learning disabilities ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2002-01-24 Summary: Longaberger - An American Success ... This is such a great book.

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-04-08 Summary: Have you ever had a dream that was draining you dry? ... That was Mr.Longaberger's problem.

I picked up this book to gain perspective on how to not get discouraged in my own business. It worked. I have never had to work in a building that had no roof. I have never had ...more

[2] ... Review | Although many businesspeople may not yet be familiar with Dave Longaberger and the hugely successful basket company that bears his name, they probably should be. The story of the man and his enterprise, as told in Longaberger: An American Success Story , is as informative and inspiring as any likely to pass their way. In fact, this plainspoken memoir--prepared with business writer Robert Shook shortly before Longaberger's death from cancer in 1999--ought to be required for all entrepreneurs who think...more
