Time to leave my ego at the door
I really like that this book gave a different perspective from your typical financial advice. I think the thing I realized for myself is that I was trying to get money to feed into my ego. Now I realize that I really have to make a choice because I can’t make financially wise decisions while at the same time try to make wise decisions for my long term future.

Great read!
The thing that totally endeared me to this book is Robert’s connection to the whispers of God and his heart to seek Him in every aspect of his life. No matter how capable or smart you think you are, I think if you don’t lean on the Lord while walking out of your life, you will have an unbalanced and unsuccessful life. The refreshing thing about this book is that while it is a look into the success of a man, it is bathed in the vital necessity the author found in depending on the Lord. From the storyline, Robert is a real man with a real God, not a religious pretension. Thank you for the wisdom and nuggets for success.

A great mixture of business and spiritual learning
This audiobook is a heartfelt mixture of this man's story of his business ventures, struggles and successes and his spiritual belief and philosophy. He tells the story of how he started several businesses and how opportunities can seem great and yet challenges arise in every endeavour. It's important to keep yourself true to yourself in following what you believe to be right and stay in your integrity as this man does. Maybe this audio could have delivered a little more value in making business decisions and lessons to succeed, but it's a nice mix of personal insight and delivered well.

A Brilliant Book for Our Times
"Business Made Simple: How Your Biggest Challenges Hold the Key to Financial Intelligence" by Robert M. Donovan flips the script on traditional business guides, arguing that the very struggles entrepreneurs face are the stepping stones to financial intelligence. Targeting both aspiring and seasoned business owners, the book acknowledges the overwhelming nature of the modern market while assuring readers that fundamental principles still hold true. Donovan, leveraging his 25+ years of experience, goes beyond just strategies, offering a unique blend of practical advice and Biblical wisdom. The book delves into overcoming common roadblocks like limited finances, saturated markets, and self-doubt, providing real-world case studies to illustrate strategic planning and adaptation. It then ventures into a fascinating exploration of how core Biblical values like transparency, integrity, and humility translate perfectly into sound business decisions, fostering a culture of excellence. But "Business Made Simple" isn't just about financial success; it emphasizes the importance of empowering leadership, advocating for leading with empathy and fostering a work environment built on creativity, innovation, and mutual respect. The book broadens its reach beyond just business owners, beckoning anyone seeking positive change in their life to embrace the struggles within its pages. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to chart a new course, someone seeking a strategic refresh, or simply yearning for inspiration, "Business Made Simple" promises a thought-provoking journey that unveils the uncommon path to success through embracing the very challenges that hold us back.

Struggle produces success
This audiobook gave great insights into how struggling, as we all do, can produce such great fruit and lead to success. Without struggle, there is not success.

Unique way of looking at motivation
I don't think I've ever heard an audiobook that took scripture and applied it to modern struggles quite like this. There were a lot of moments where I paused the book to think; this is a compliment. Really engaging. Excellent narrator. I enjoyed it.

Balance is the Key
The path to financial success is often one of intense climbing over one's competitors and neglecting the people around us. We all hear of the many sacrifices one must make to climb the corporate mountain. Robert, however, offers a fresh approach that allows the achievement of success with balance and spirituality. This is a great read.

Donovan's background in finance and coaching really stands out. His tips on dealing with money issues and crowded markets are clear and practical. He strongly advocates for doing business honestly, openly, and humbly, which was a breath of fresh air for me.
The way he talks about launching several businesses while sticking to his principles, even when things got tough, was truly motivating.
If you want to integrate your faith into your professional life, this book will definitely speak to you. It’s more than just a business manual. It will inspire you to face challenges with determination and faith, helping you succeed without compromising your values. I highly recommend it.
