Book Review: I'll Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse by Michael Franzese

I just finished the book I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse: Insider Business Tips From A Former Mob Boss by Michael Franzese last night. I have to admit, it was a very good book. Now if you happen to be a Harvard Business School grad, this may not be for you. And, if you are looking for some in-depth business concepts discussed, then you should probably move along. If you are looking for an interesting read about someone who has lived on both sides of the law, was successful on both, and genuinely wants you to succeed within the boundaries of the law, this book is for you.

What you will get with this book: A comprehensive compare-and-contrast of the Machiavellian (mobster) way of conducting business vs. the wisdom of Solomon (fm the book of Proverbs). The author, Michael Franzese, discusses how he got ahead as a made man by following the way Machiavelli proposed in his works The Prince and other books. He contrasts this with the teachings of Solomon from the book of Proverbs, and shows how a legitimate business person can succeed. At the end of each chapter, the author summarizes his main points in tidy packages he called “Get the Message” which I appreciated.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Mr Franzese’s book. It was entertaining, and I would recommend it to anyone, regardless of their interest in the world of business. It also made me curious to read his previous book about his life and how he was able to extricate himself from the mob…

Free Bibles fm Laridian

All of my friends and family know that I have carried Pocket PCs since the days of the iPaq. Today I carry an integrated Pocket PC/Cell phone from Verizon Wireless called the Samsung Omnia (i910). What they may not know is that for just as long I have carried the Bible and many biblical study books from a company called Laridian Electronic Publishing...

Today I found out that the great folks over at Laridian have added several free books to their extensive list of study books and bibles. If you have not already looked at what they have to offer, I suggest you go to their site quickly and download the books for your Windows Mobile device. I am confident you will enjoy their products!

Thank you to the generous folks at Laridian Electronic Publishing!!! I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the ESV Study Bible next...

Blog Spring Cleaning

Hello All,

I have been doing a little Spring cleaning on my day off. I deleted a lot of the last few posts here. Mainly because we lost the baby and I didn't want to get into all that here. I am going to be doing a lot of different stuff here. Going to look at what I am doing (blog-wise) and focus more on this space.

New posts to the "ol" blog...

Hello to anyone that is looking... ;)

I haven't posted anything to this blog in a while. I have messed around with another blog and thought that I would get this one back up and running. Mainly because I am not interested in a lot of attention to the other blog.

Keep watching this blog. I promise to keep it up to date with more randomness from the Wallace family...

Sailing on the Patuxent

Here is my beautiful wife doing what I love to do... Sail. She has been putting up with me since we have gotten to Maryland. I have been sailing with her Uncle on his boat. On this day Erin and I went out with her cousin Patrick and one of his friends. We all had a great time. Although, in the end the weather ended up getting a little rougher than I was comfortable with. All in all, it was a good day though.

I haven't been able to blog at all of late. My computer crashed and I just got a new hard drive put in it. I think that Erin wasn't expecting me to be able to fix it. It ended up being a pretty easy fix though.

Hope all is going well for you!

Fair Winds and Following Seas!

From the i730

Just wanted to make sure that this would work. This is such a lazy weekend... I wanted to make sure I could post like this.

Kevin

Wait, another one?

Yes, I know. What am I doing... Another blog?

I had a blog here awhile ago, but wasn't posting here much. When I saw that I could from my i730 I thought that I would give it a try again. I wish that Yahoo would get with it and realize that people use Pocket PC's and other mobile devise's to post to their blogs. Anyway, I will use this to try and post more regularly. Maybe I will cheat and copy over the blogs to my Yahoo account periodically. ;)

Regards,

Kevin
