Success Made Simple

Notwithstanding limited use of technology, limited education, the limits imposed by large families, and religious requirements regarding marketing and wealth, 95% of Amish businesses succeed through 5 years. Contrast that with a failure rate on the order of 80% for non-Amish businesses in the first five years, and the reasons to read this volume become very clear!

Book stores and shelves are littered with titles on business, business ownership, business startups and so on. Many, if not most, are a complete waste of time – I know because I’ve read many of them.

This Book, Success Made Simple, is required reading for would-be or want-to-be business owner/entrepreneurs. Author Erik Wesner recounts the advice of Amish business owners as to their reasons for being in business, the struggles they over came to start and succeed, and the principles they adhere to in order to grow and sustain their companies despite obstacles common in and outside the Amish community.
