Must read for business owners and business leadership

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book contains helpful information not only for new and established business owners but for all levels of management as well. The author outlines all aspects of how to start a business or keep a business successful without going so heavily into detail that it’s difficult to follow. The best advice she has it’s simply to start, to take action!
The first half of the book goes pretty heavily into leadership. She teaches about empowerment, inspiring workers, communication, leadership style, and more. The second half of the book deals with more of the minutiae of the business. Branding, marketing, target audience, customer retention, and even steps for course correction when the business is not meeting your goals are all covered more in depth in the second half of the book. A business owner or manager can always make a business better if they keep learning and are willing to take a chance by making a necessary change. In the author’s own words:
“Your job now is to turn what you’ve learned into action! Make those healthy choices, keep clear boundaries, fail over and over again but get back up. Say thank you to every door that slams in your face, and surround yourself with like-minded individuals who are going to support you and lift you up along the way. Pay close attention to your leadership intuition and listen to it. Even if a decision is challenging, you will always know what’s best for your business. Stay humble and keep evolving.“
Definitely worth the time to read this one if you feel there are areas your business could improve.

Informative and Easy to Read

This is the first book I have ever ready concerning Business & Finances and I quiet enjoyed it. The book wasn't long and winded, but got to the point fairly quickly. I am actually starting a Freelance Writing Business and this book provided great tips on how to manage to start your own business as well as balance a personal life.

One part I did like about the book from a personal standpoint was in Chapter 11: Course Correction, where she mentions dealing with one's fears when starting a business. That is the number one killer of dreams, because people are afraid of failure and afraid to make that dive into a world that they may not be all too familiar or comfortable with. This book isn't written from a high-powered entrepreneur, bragging about how the made this much money and how you can do it too if you follow only their steps. Dominica Lumazar spoke to readers like she was on their level and encouraging them along the way.

I would recommend this book for this just getting their toes in the water of starting their own business. It's an easy read and leaves you satisfied.

A truly empowering book on business, well worth the purchase price

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019

"Empowered: The Business Owner's Guide to Leadership & Success," by Sweet D Marketing founder Dominica Lumazar, is a worthwhile and engaging read for new and aspiring entrepreneurs. Ms. Lumazar’s intends to inspire and educate those who may doubt themselves as entrepreneurs, struggle with business fundamentals, or face leadership challenges.

She mostly succeeds, though a few ill-sequenced sections and editing errors jar the reader out of what is otherwise a thoroughly immersive read. For example, multiple sections on employee relations would have best been consolidated into a single chapter, rather than scattered throughout multiple chapters in the book. Sequencing chapters on leadership together would have strengthened the work as well. Despite these flaws, "Empowered" remains a strong addition to any entrepreneur’s personal library.

Ms. Lumazar’s personal anecdotes enliven what might otherwise be a volume of aphorisms into thoroughly appealing work that the reader will likely turn to after completion for reference and/or renewed inspiration. Her candor is a strength: she shares both successes and failures as well as the insights learned from each with unadorned language that makes the book accessible to all audiences. Moreover, she is relatable: the book begins with a recounting of childhood insecurities fueled by adults who did not believe in her. Unfortunately, childhood dreams are all too often assailed by “practical” and negative adults; starting the book from this common experience evokes immediate empathy in the reader.

"Empowered" is not merely a personal brand-burnishing exercise on Ms. Lumazar’s part. Indeed, the authenticity of Ms. Lumazar’s writing undercuts any skepticism about "Empowered" the reader may feel given the glut of business advice books on the market. The book is a refreshingly earnest and rewarding attempt to empower her readers, one that is well worth checking out.

Valuable Information for Business Owners

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019

I bought--and read--this book earlier today. It's a quick read, with lots of great information and advice for business owners and bosses of all kinds. From learning to unplug from technology for your own sanity and to spend time with friends and family, to promoting ways for employees to feel appreciated and valued in their jobs. Not only does Lumazar share her own experiences in her businesses, but also shares the experiences of her business clients, and does so in ways that are entertaining and informative. She outlines very specific ways to make employees feel invested in their company; for example, one client of hers asked his employees outright what would make their jobs more enjoyable (and was surprised at their answers). They asked for--and received--pizza on Saturdays and doughnuts on Sundays as a reward for a productive work week. The end result is that they became more productive because they were willing to work for the reward, and the reward itself provided them time to socialize with one another, producing a more cohesive work team. There were several chapters in the book that were like "ah-ha" moments. The first was simply stated like this: "The truth is you can't pay people to care." This was an experience learned by the author after hiring a social media "expert" that wasn't as great as he appeared to be on paper. Her honesty in dealing with her client even meant she retained that client because they appreciated her candor. This book is a great read for people who need a refresher on running a business and managing people.

"Empowered. The Business Owner’s Guide to LEADERSHIP & SUCCESS", by Dominica Lumazar

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

"Empowered. The Business Owner’s Guide to LEADERSHIP & SUCCESS", by Dominica Lumazar is a powerful guidebook for business people to achieve success and fulfillment in their careers. It is a delightful self-help book written in a form of autobiography as regards especially the first part of the book, with enjoyable episodes from her life which lead to her development as a business-woman. The second and third parts of the book contain much practical advice to the readers in chapters centered on important topics of the business life.

Dominica Lumazar, the author of the book is the founder of "Sweet D Marketing" and a world-renowned Strategic Marketing and Branding Consultant. She is also an international bestselling author and advisor. The book is addressed to beginner and not just beginner entrepreneurs and business owners who are hard-working and have a dream about their aims. She invites them to be present in the "here and now”, more precisely to begin with what they have and where they are now, to start simply and not to wait too much.

Giving the right inspiration for the team, good communication, providing the team with the right working tools, proper encouragement and a good personal example is essential for a good business. One can learn about different leadership styles and types, and leadership fundamentals.

One can read about marketing, about the importance to differentiate the real social media followers, the importance to understand and read the essential business financial reports, like the profit and loss statement, the balance sheet and the cash flow statement. How to deal with employee theft is another important issue to learn in the business. Managing money in difficult times is another important thing to learn for a business-person.

A separate chapter of the book deals with the company history, the company culture, and competitor history. Another part of the book is dedicated to the importance of our emotions and thoughts affecting our work and business, the role of a positive mindset, the importance of life outside of the business, just as finding a healthy balance between work and life, for the leader and for the team as well. The relationship with the customers has an important aspect as well in business life.

Separate chapters of the book deal with branding, with marketing, with strategies for retaining customers, with habits of effective leaders, and about course correction. The book empowers entrepreneurs and business people with business and marketing knowledge. The author learned a lot on her own, but also sought the advice from the very best leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners in the world, and the book is a compilation of lessons she learned from them, and in this way, the book can save time and money for its readers.

The book is entertaining and very helpful, I liked especially the first part of the book, where it was very personal, but found very helpful everywhere. The book appeared to be professionally edited, I could not really find typos or grammatical mistakes. I would recommend this book to anybody interested in business life and being or wishing to become an entrepreneur or a business owner. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars, for its content and its edition.
