Everything I know About Business I learned from my Mama

What do you get when you cross Jeff Foxworthy with Steven Covey? You get a masterful entrepreneur who makes readers laugh, think, and learn. That's Tim Knox. From the way most business books are written, you'd think you needed a PhD, an MBA, or some other combination of letters after your name to be successful. Entrepreneur, author, and speaker, Tim Knox has proven that just isn't true. "Everything I Know About Business I Learned from My Mama" is a refreshingly humorous account of his own rise from backwoods poverty to master entrepreneur and millionaire marketer. "We were so poor even the white trash looked down on us," Tim says without a single trace of childhood angst. "We were considered the off-white trash. Now, every year I get new tires for my double wide, whether it needs it or not. If only the white trash could see me now." "Everything I Know About Business I Learned from My Mama" offers practical, commonsense business wisdom and advice from a master entrepreneur and self-confessed (and proud of it) mama's boy. Readers will find much more here than funny stories and keen insights about business: they'll find real-world advice based on Knox's own successful career as a corporate executive, entrepreneur, and teacher. Tim's often humorous, sometimes solemn, recounting of his journey to personal and business success will prove to the reader that they have the ability to craft the life they desire, personally and professionally.
