This book should have been in my business class - ARC Reader Bill W.
Short read with a lot of information. The five business models were excellent, but the market versus niche stuff was amazing. ARC Reader - Janet G.

"Get Your Streetwise MBA for Less Than the Price of Anything at Starbucks"

To help as many people as possible, these economic empowerment books are intentionally priced to match the least expensive beverage at Starbucks. There are plenty of self help "fluff" books about business and finance, but those won't actually help you create a real business or actual wealth. What you need (and what John provides) is actionable content that you can use right away.

John writes short economic empowerment books filled with useful content that you can read more than once. What separates him from other digital publishers is his organic passion for breaking down complicated business theory into easy to follow steps that anybody can use. His actionable content is designed to help any busy person make more strategic business and finance decisions. He even provides his personal email and invites questions.

John is a full blown business geek who earned a Bachelor of Science in Business and an MBA from St. Mary's University. He is a business strategy advisor, entrepreneur, active investor, altruist, corporate finance veteran, and works in economic development. John enjoys biking, music, and spending time with his family.

Want to enhance your business/finance savvy and learn how to apply it to real situations? Then check out one of John's books.

I have been a small business owner for several years now, so I am always picking up different business/entrepreneurial books to keep my mind full of fresh, new ideas – and I must say that this author has already proven to be more helpful with this book than the past half dozen or so that I have come across as of recently. I consider this book to be an absolute must-read for any aspiring or current business owner, regardless of the specialization or niche they work with.

What I admire most about this book is that the information is genuinely practical and applicable – the author does delve into the more theoretical side of the concepts discussed in his approach, but ultimately the advice that can be found in this read can be put into practice right away, and as I was reading I knew how certain ideas could fit into my own business plan near-perfectly (which I hope to implement as soon as possible).

4.0 out of 5 stars In-depth and informative!
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022
I've been really getting into learning how to create and build my own business, and safe to say that this book has been really informative and really helped me understand the most common (and fail-safe) business models that companies have, their pros and cons which help me decide on which business model I should be considering for my own business. Overall a great read! I have taken a star off because sometimes I feel like the author is waffling and writing words for the sake of words which means that I have to reread passages that sometimes don't make sense. Apart from that, the knowledge and information in this book is pretty neat and I would read it again if I had the patience to get through the wordy bits :))

The author of the book “Concept Builder: Five Business Models….writes a book to help business owner enthusiasts. The book helps with the first question of any business entrepreneur: “What is your business model.” After the business model is in place, The author addresses the business plan using five business model examples that have led to successful businesses. Finding your niche in a competitive industry is not an easy task and the author gives you the win-win formula. He blends theory and practice very well. I strongly suggest this book for anyone looking to follow their dream and either add to their existing career or break out with their own business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Aspiring Business Owner Must Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2022
This little book has some great advice on starting your own business from the ground up. John Endris has owned and consulted for so many small businesses. What should you do if you don't have a clue about starting your own business? John's short little book is a great place to start. He begins with concepts covered in an MBA such as Michael Porter's five force model to analyze an industry and BCG matrix as another criterion. These concepts are to help guide you in analyzing different industries.
He then goes on to define your niche which can make it much easier for a person to select a target market.
Once this is determined the next step is to generate a business idea list.
John discusses several business models to generate your list including freelance business, solutions, specialization business, debt business, and first to market business models.
Using these models a person can generate a list of great ideas and chose one model to focus on to create a solid business plan.
I recommend this book to anyone considering starting their own business. It combines the basics of an MBA degree with real-life wisdom of decades of practical business experience.
