Midas Touch: Why Some Entrepreneurs Get Rich--and Why Most Don't

I read Midas Touch listened to this audio on my Christmas drive from Sydney - Canberra and return. I've wanted to read it for sometime and now that Mr Trump is president. There was an added interest level for me. I was not disappointed in this book. I found it to be full of excellent content - personal observations, open transparency by both Robert & Donald in their failings and best of all, their learnings. It gave me all I was seeking and more. Well read by the narrators and I liked the structure of the book across the five core principles (fingers analogy) and how the perspectives of each author addressed each. It's a book I want to read again to absorb what I missed the first time (rich content) and of course, to take some notes next time. Only draw back with audiobooks is that you are often doing concurrent activity (eg driving) while listening so you can't readily take notes...also, where there are images / diagrams, they are not available to you (none for this book). Great value, insight & clearly outlined actionable learnings for the business owner, entrepreneur and business student. Finally, given all the controversy around Trump as he steps into his presidency, I have to say I feel we will be in great hands if his sense of integrity, determination to provide excellence, self declared expert negotiating skills & success formula is applied to the next few years of world politics. It may be overly optimist on my part but I'm excited about the potential of what may be achieved and the ride ahead!
