Dan Kennedy
1 Probably the Best of the "No B.S." Series
This is a phenomenally good--and hard-hitting book--that will show you numerous ways to save time and money in your business and personal life. I think it's worth many times it's paltry price.
2 A Kick Butt Guide to Time Mangement
This book exists in its own category. While a typical time management book will implore you to develop sophisticated "to do" lists and to organize and save time by getting rid of magazine subscriptions that you don't need, this book is the nuts and bolts guide to real time management from a person that knows what being busy is all about.
Save your money on all of the other time management BS books out there and buy this one. This book has real world solutions to everyday challenges. Dan Kennedy tells it like it is in this book. The information inside is priceless.
3 A truly practical book for people of consequence
Having just read Dan Kennedy's time management book, I am more thrilled than ever that I was introduced to Mr Kennedy's books and courses some 18 months ago! I believe the principles in this book to be not only "priceless," (which is perhaps contradictory to the subject of the 1st chapter), but it's also the CORNERSTONE of his entire business success and philosophy.
The book is *that* important!
Many folks would rather try Dan's other books and courses first... after all, the subject of this book doesn't sound as 'sexy' as many of Dan's other products. But close reading will reveal just how *little* you'll really understand in all his other courses until you truly "get" the principles of this book.
A warning, however: if you're easily offended at being called to account for your own level of success, AVOID this book. You'll just become depressed at how little you *really* want out of life... "winners" only, please!
But for the right reader, this book can be the 5:00am firecracker that makes you sit bolt upright in bed, in a cold sweat, *determined* to take full charge of your life!
I'd give it 6 out of 5 if I could... it's that powerful!
4 We Made This Book Required Reading for All our Staff
Reading pages 3-10 of this book will change your life if you have the guts to carry out the exercise Dan Kennedy recomends to get to your "number."
I bought the book for my entire staff of lawyers. We read it and discussed it. We immediately implemented several changes to our "systems" which resulted in higher client satisfaction and a more productive day for all of us. We figured we made "thousands of dollars" in the first few weeks of employing some of Kennedy's very specific techniques.
I highly recomend that any business owner buy a copy, not just for himself or herself, but for the whole staff. It doesn't do any good if only one person understands and "gets" what Kennedy is teaching.
We also bought his new "Business Success Book" and eagerly look forward to the "Sales" book due out shortly.
5 Excellent Book
I loved Dan's book. It is chock full of practical ideas.
I own every one of Dan Kennedy's courses. Since I've applied Dan's ideas in my business, I've grown my "kitchen table" operation into a six figure a year income. In fact, I've acquired a license to sell some of his courses.

6 A must read for any entrepreneur or small business person
I love this book. Chock full of great ideas and techniques for maximizing time effectiveness and productivity for any business person.
7 WONDERFUL BOOK
I applied one tactic on page 139 and it made me $19,760.13. What a terrific return on investment! The sub-chapter on, "How to Drown in Opportunity and Success" has produced lots of additional money making opportunities. It was counter-intuitive at first, but when I applied his strategies I got terrific results. I have people calling, begging for an appointment for me to work with their money making projects.
8 Hard Hitting with No Fluff
I've been a student of Dan's for over two years and in that time I've seen my practice and productivity grow, even though my family continues to grow simultaneously. My practice members often ask where I find the time to run my practice, market, and spend (lots) of time with my family. The answer quite simply is that I use many of Dan's teachings. This book is great because it isn't full of a bunch of pie-in-the-sky ideas. It is full of practical strategies that can (and should) be implemented immediately. I will read it again.
9 Hard core time management from a true practicioner
If you are looking for a couple of platitudes and a new gimmicky "ring tone" for your Palm Pilot this is not the book for you. Dan gets right to what works, why it works, and the
mega changes you must make from normal time management theory if you are going to change your lifestyle and income now. As a long-time student of Mr. Kennedy, I can assure you he practices what he preaches, and his adivce has made me thousands of dollars. I fully expect this book to make me millions (assuming I implement his teaching). If you are ready to make a geometric leap in your productivity, follow Dan's rules, and you will. This is the best hands on practical time management book, I have ever read.
10 Drive a Stake Through the Hearts of the Time Vampires
I bought the book on a Sunday. It so good I had finished by Monday morning. By page 7, I was already implementing one of the strategies provided and thinking differently about my valuable time. And I've put stakes through the hearts of some of my "time vampires" like e-mail and the phone. If you value your time, you'd be dumb not to invest in this book.
11 Time is Our most Precious Commodity!
This book is worth its weight in gold to the serious entrepreneur that wants to be much more effective, and have a great life at the same time. Effectiveness is not just about working faster but about working smarter and on the right things. Dan brings his unique and enjoyable style to this sometimes boring topic. I consider time management to really be "Life" Management and Dan is a master of this topic.
Time is the one thing we all get the same amount of-- millionaire or minimum,- wager; let this book help you lead a better and more fulfilling life. You can't help but get at least one great idea from this updated book.
12 The "Backbone" Implant Every Entrepreneur Must Read...
This is by far the best "hands on" tools book I've read in time management. Most time management books give you guidelines, rules, and tools that you never use-- relying on a detailed multi-level guideline-- and I'm just not wired that way. As a result of the many years of reading these books I lowered my confidence in believing I was not a functional business person. This book, however, shows you how-- precisely-- we rob ourselves of time-- our most valuable asset. To waste time is the waste life and Dan Kennedy hones in on all the ways we waste life through choosing "time vampires" that drink the life right out of us. A HUGE eye-opener for anyone serious about transforming their life through the value of time, energy, and PROFIT.
Before reading this book I felt I had a "high regard" for my time, but found more than 10 crucial points that made me clearly see and realize how much time, energy and money I wasted. Now I'm able to know in the first contact, situation, or new business relationship whether or not it's worth the "time" investment.
This book made me really look at myself and all the "time management mistakes" I made-- not easy to do, but if you're serious about taking self responsibility and becoming a self-actualizing success, this is A MUST READ!
13 Hard core
It's "back to basics" on how Dan Kennedy finds the time to run his highly successful consulting/writing/speaking business. This is probably the tenth time management book I've read and I took away a few good ideas. Dan would certainly say I am wasting time writing this review on a time management book. I guess the reason I'm giving it four stars is that he does not discuss the time management techniques that he uses to make his family/personal life successful.
