Book Review: Knockout Entrepreneur by George Foreman

Knockout Entrepreneur provides George Foreman’s approach to entrepreneurship using his personal story and the analogy of boxing. The overall message of the book is be persistent, honest, and believe in yourself. Foreman’s book will inspire entrepreneurs and those looking for success in their lives.
I found this book to be an easy read, Foreman uses a conversational style and he approaches the book like  your uncle who is explaining how he accomplished something. Foreman uses the analogy of boxing to make various points in the book, e.g. know your opponent, have a good team in the corner.  The story explains his move form looking only to win, and how Foreman began to look for ways to win and help and inspire others. Much of his transformation comes from his belief in God. If you are looking for some history on Foreman’s career in and out of the ring, and thoughts on taking a positive entrepreneurial approach to business, you should enjoy this book.
