Branding expert James Espey has seen and done it all over the course of half a century in the business world – including earning a Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his contributions to the whisky industry. He provides an all-encompassing report on the basics of a business career, from deciding which industry to enter and what occupation to pursue up to accepting your first board membership and eventually planning your retirement. Espey includes a variety of useful information and many colorful marketing anecdotes. These stand in contrast to the points when he bogs down in old jokes as he relates his life story. Experienced businesspeople may not learn much from this primer, but getAbstract recommends Espey’s comprehensive list of 100 tips to ambitious young people who may need a friendly mentor.

Take-Aways

  • In business as in life, branding matters, especially your own personal brand.
  • The most basic rule of business: Customers call the shots.
