Critic reviews

"Author Jeff Benedict's reading is remarkably professional. Without sounding dispassionate, he stands back from a story that could easily have tapped into his pride or righteousness as a devout Mormon. His audible humility conveys respect for the sensibilities of his audience as well as for these distinguished executives."—AudioFile

Living their religion

I enjoyed this book. I like learning of people who live their standards in all aspects of their life. No one is perfect, but their example helps me.

The only reason I have this review less than 5 stars was that it sounded like many of the sentences were cut at the very end. it was distracting. Otherwise ,5 stars.

Very well written and explained. A must read LDS or not!

This was a very well put together book. No matter if your LDS or not this is a read that will help you feel encouraged and motivated to do more! Take the time to listen to the book all the way through and think about everything you hear. You will not go wrong with this book!

Mormon Business Owner/Manager Must Read

Great book filled with inspirational stories of success, challenges, and how to do business the right way!

Gripping

A must read for those who seek "success" outside the home while trying to balance life. I couldn't put it down. I will definitely seek out other titles written by this author.

Great book! (A note for working women)

I’m a working mom. Now this book doesn’t necessarily encourage working moms, like the Latter-day Saint faith, it encourages women to stay at home and raise children during their younger years. I have tried that and it flat out is just not a good dynamic for me and my family to be a SAHM. This book helped me discover a balance between working my part time job and raise my children. It helped me discover exactly what I wanted: how to balance being a working mom with staying on top of my business as a business owner. I’ll be implementing the no working or thinking of work after a certain time of day, we already implement the no business whatsoever on Sundays, and it encourages me to continue praying and working with my Heavenly Father.

The only “con” of the book is it seemed like some of the sentences were cut off before they were finished. Idk what was going on in the audio but it sounded a little funny.

Overall, a fantastic audio book and I bought the paperback version so my husband could read it too.
