Pecan Pie: 32 Business Success Strategies Passionately Baked to Order

Pecan Pie is a must read for all that are in or inspire to in any type of leadership role! It is easy to read with powerful short stories with great lessons. Thank you Bob for sharing your wisdom with us! I have recommended this to several and will be buying several copies as gifts for all my managers! Denise Sinkavich

Let me give you my conclusion first. Bob Gambone has whipped up a culinary masterpiece with his very first book. Pecan Pie is a rich dessert. It should be required eating for every entrepreneur who wants to realize his full potential. Bob is not one of those self-appointed gurus dispensing the highest wisdom from the mountain top. Those folk give me a rash. Bob offers true wisdom gained from his many years as a change agent within one of the largest retail food companies in the nation. His advice is simple yet profound; it arises from his business acumen, his knowledge of and compassion for people, and his ability to draw you into his life and empower you to take up your business with greater understanding and renewed energy. Buy this book! Taste the wisdom within. And watch your business grow! Neal Griebling, Future Design Studio, Inc.

Like the pecan pie after which it is named, Bob Gambone’s “32 Business Success Strategies” are essential ingredients for anyone looking to begin a business of her own. I read Bob’s book in preparation for my own transition from writing professor to writing coach. As someone who has spent a career working as an English faculty member, the thought of setting up a self-sustaining business has been daunting. Is it possible to support myself independently? Will I be able to build a clientele? Well, according to Gambone, if I do what I’m good at and if I am motivated by a “real commitment to helping people succeed,” I will be astonished by what I am able to accomplish. Significantly, if I make my relationships with the people I encounter the most important part of my business, I will thrive. Bob’s book is filled with stories, a strong strategy for a writer who wants to teach through example, and each story becomes a guidepost on the way. Want to motivate employees? Light fires in their heart—not under their feet! Want repeat business? Focus on customers "as real people with authentic needs.” Want employees to work in a supportive and caring atmosphere—provide the careful training that is an authentic “expression of [your] concern.” Bob’s is a book with heart, and like his tagline: “passion—leadership—results,” that heart is rooted in people and relationship. I recommend Pecan Pie to any reader who is looking to walk the path of servant leadership. You will learn; you will expand, and you will prosper.

I first read "Pecan Pie" cover to cover in one big gulp on a plane ride from California. It was a fast paced, easy read that I was able to fit between chats with fellow passengers on my flight home. That ravenous consuming of "Pecan Pie" was about a year ago. I have been craving a re-read of the book, but planned this time to savor the chapters more fully. Each of the book's chapters - slices of pie - is 2 to 4 pages. I decided I would chew each slice slowly and then allow a few days for the `pecan' of wisdom it contained to digest fully before starting the next slice. Using this approach, my second helping of "Pecan Pie" took me almost three months to finish. After reading each chapter, I made notes and pondered the lesson from that chapter for a couple of days. What amazing concepts I absorbed from this repeat course of "Pecan Pie." The book has few pages, however it reinforces the concept that good things come in small packages. If you will let it, Bob's book can lead you to some marvelous personal insights; great ah ha moments. You owe it to your future to read this book. I have read literally thousands of books; few warranted a second reading. I have now read "Pecan Pie" twice and will likely read it many more times. Thank you, Bob Gambone, for such delectable, easy to digest ideas we can implement for our success!

Success. It means different things to different people and everyone who has written books about it does so with the promise that "You can too!". I've read those books and I have to say . . .they didn't help. But the good news is that after trying to digest all that garbage, Bob serves up a tasty treat that not only goes down easy, but digests easily too! In a fun, easy-going, and humorous way, Bob creates a successful recipe that anyone can use. Whether you are a business leader, strategist, economist, or an everyday working "Joe", the tips about life, leadership, and success that Bob presents are heartfelt, sincere, and . .. well . . . simple! Business success strategies don't have to be complicated, and Bob does a wonderfully refreshing job communicating the simple, yet elegant, ingredients to find success not only in business, but in life, as well. This book should be on every business leader's desk to remind them that life and business are only as complicated as we make them.

I really enjoy Bob's style of writing, very conversational, you feel like you are sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee and eating pie while he shares his experience and advice. Bob's wisdom is from experience, his advice is practical and helpful. If you are a business coach, attorney, banker, or anyone who works with professionals or entrepreneurs, this is an ideal gift that will be appreciated!
