John does a phenomenal job of offering practical and actionable guidance that is not only valuable to anyone in any phase of building a business, but especially to those who are looking for that extra ‘nudge’ to launch their business (especially in THIS economy), or simply put forth the extra effort to push their business to the next level. I found John’s advice on structuring business finances and dealing with financial transactions with clients (striving to be a “cash positive” business as much and as often as possible) particularly convicting. And while I’ve been implementing SOME of John’s business practices SOME of the time, Survive and Thrive gave a swift reminder of how much better I could/should be doing. John Meese has easily earned his place next to the other great authors I’ve read, such as Simon Sinek, Donald Miller, Seth Godin, and other predominant authors writing about business strategy.
