Entrepreneurial Advice From a "Business Frontiersman"

SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "Who would you rather be lost in the woods with, Albert Einstein or Davey Crockett?" asks Michael Dalton Johnson author of the new business book Rules of the Hunt. (McGraw-Hill Professional; May, 2012; Hardcover, $26.00)

He continues, "Business schools provide a solid foundation for a career but it's not possible for them to give the experience needed to deal with the many day-to-day challenges and opportunities encountered in business."

In keeping with its subtitle "Real World Advice for Entrepreneurial and Business Success," the book departs from conventional business books in voice, content and format. The book contains over 200 "rules" delivered as brief anecdotes, short tutorials, humorous observations, case histories, an occasional rant and a few horror stories.

The final chapter is devoted to the author's advice for preserving physical and mental health while in the hunt for business success.

Subjects covered include leadership, negotiating, motivating people, time management, bartering, group dynamics, recruiting winners, sales, marketing, avoiding attorneys, relationships and personal growth.
