Summary:

It is the New Year! Entrepreneurs all over are finally acting on their dreams in starting a small business venture – but, where to begin? Though it might be overwhelming at first, it does not have to be. Learning the fundamentals is not complicated thanks to Donald Miller’s Business Made Simple: Sixty Days to Master Leadership, Communication, Sales, and More. Miller sets out to streamline the foundations of what it takes to start a business, demystifying how businesses work and giving readers the confidence to understand and apply core concepts. Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur and business coach, he writes for everyday professionals, not MBAs, using clear language and an encouraging, no-frills approach that makes the topic feel surprisingly approachable.

The book is organized into eleven chapters that are broken down further into a 60-day guide, with short daily lessons that readers can easily dip into rather than read straight through. Each lesson tackles a key area of business, such as leadership, marketing, sales, customer service, productivity, and company culture, and shows how these pieces connect to one another. Miller emphasizes clarity as a recurring theme—clear goals, clear messaging, and clear roles—arguing that confusion is one of the biggest obstacles to success. Real-world examples and simple frameworks keep the content grounded and practical, making it easy to imagine applying the ideas at work right away.

Overall, Business Made Simple is a solid, accessible read for anyone who wants to better understand the language and logic of business without feeling overwhelmed. I found it refreshing in its simplicity and appreciated how quickly the lessons get to the point. Whether you are a small business owner, a new manager, or someone who just wants to be more effective at work, this book offers useful insights you can start using immediately. If you are looking for a straightforward, confidence-building introduction to business fundamentals, this one is well worth checking out. Thanks for reading!
