Ingredients for Success: 10 Best Practices for Business and
Life by Joseph James Slawek is a book looking at the three parables in Matthew
25 and applying 10 key principles from those stories to life and business. The Author is known for his success as the
CEO or FONA (Flavors of North America) located in Chicago Illinois. This book contains the key principles he has
learned from his faith and the bible that were the key to his success and the
success of his company.
In the beginning I did not think I was going to like this
book. In the first few chapters the author spends a lot of time talking about
himself and his company. He kept reiterating
this wasn’t about him just any example but it came off as a really long
brochure about him and his company.
About half way through the book changed.
Yes, he still talked about himself but the tone changes into a really
useful insightful book about business and life.
I really enjoyed how he broke apart the three parables (the 10 virgins,
the bags of gold, and the sheep and goats) and pulled many simple ideas out of
them. The principles of always telling
the truth, being prepared, and always trying your best are things we all know
yet struggle to implement in our daily lives.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I will keep it on my shelf as a reminder as I
think about starting a business.
Note: I did receive a copy of this book for free to read and
review from handlebar publishing. The
opinions above are my own and I was not compensated for a positive review.
