Real business owners share how ‘Building a Purposeful Business’ helped them avoid costly mistakes, find their focus, and build companies that reflect their values while staying profitable.
Ted Hood advice about avoiding the 'too anxious' trap saved my sanity. I was making emotional decisions when business was slow, and then getting impatient when things picked up. His suggestions for managing worry and sticking to your plans really helped me stay steady. The book taught me that ups and downs are normal, and you don't have to panic every time something changes. My business is much more stable now.
I wish I had this book three years ago when I started my consulting business. Ted Hood chapter on the 'deadly toos' hit me right between the eyes. I was doing almost all of them, especially being too identified with my business. I couldn't figure out why I was miserable, even though my business was growing. Ted Hood advice about separating your personal mission from your business mission changed everything for me.
The section on home-based businesses was exactly what I needed. I was struggling with distractions and feeling like I wasn't being taken seriously because I work from home. Ted Hood practical tips about setting up a professional space and managing interruptions made a huge difference. My productivity doubled after I implemented his suggestions. Plus, his emphasis on treating people well has brought me so much repeat business.
What I love about this book is how honest Ted Hood is about his own mistakes. When he talks about being too leveraged and losing everything, you can tell he's been there. His warnings about MLM overspending probably saved me from making a huge mistake. I was about to invest way more than I could afford based on projected earnings. This book kept me grounded and helped me build my business step by step instead of trying to get rich quick.
