Review & Description

This book's title says it'll help you succeed in business, but "The Original MBA" is also a good road map for life success. Taking lessons she learned as a child, Sandy Weaver Carman takes the reader on a journey, re-living the childhood moments when the lessons first sank in and fast-forwarding to the grown-up business situations where those same lessons paid off. The stories are genuine, the wisdom is priceless and each section, or "room," of the book wraps up with exercises, or "chores," you can use to lock in the lessons for your own life success. This book is appropriate for those entering the work force, whether just out of school or in mid-life, and for those headed for corporate America or the adventures of entrepreneurship. As one reader put it, "It's homey and warm but clearly written by someone who knows what she's doing." Ten percent of the proceeds from this book and its associated products are earmarked for charity. Because dogs and dog sports have been part of Sandy's adult life, one of those places is Billy's Building Fund, a portal for donations to the University of Georgia to build a new veterinary teaching hospital. Billy is Bob and Sandy's Siberian Husky, a retired Champion show dog, agility dog, obedience dog, and is Sandy's shadow at home. A freak occurrence caused Billy to lose one eye and it was only through the delicate work done by the ophthalmology department at the University of Georgia's veterinary teaching hospital that he managed to keep the other one. And because the desire to put an end to breast cancer suffering is something Sandy lives with every day, 5% will go to breast cancer charities.
