George Foreman has reached a level of success that most Americans can only dream about, both as a boxer and an entrepreneur. As a two-time Heavyweight Champion of the World and one of the most succesful businessmen of the modern era, this man has clearly demonstrated that he has the will, determination and “smarts” to succeed at most anything he tries to do.

When I first saw Knockout Entrepreneur on display in my local bookstore, my first thought was “Will anyone realy take a former boxing champ seriously as a business guru?” But after thinking about it for a moment, I realized that he has been just as successful in his long business career as he was as a fighter. That’s when I decided to read the book and review it for the Thomas Nelson “Book Review Blogger” program.

As a sports fan, I could go on and on about the stories Mr. Foreman tells about some of his biggest boxing matches (they alone are worth the price of this book), but it’s the way he relates these stories to the principles of business success that make the book such an engaging and valuable read. In a nutshell, he explains how his drive to excel combined with his firm foundation in Christian principles helped him achieve all of his goals, and more.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in pursuing a successful career in business, especially self-starters who have a burning desire to work for themselves. Sports enthusiast or not, you’re sure to benefit from Mr. Foreman’s many wonderful tips and insights into living a successful life and succeeding in the business world.
