This piece is condensed, easy to read and is filled with colorful anecdotes and mind-opening metaphors. Most notably, the model for business and personal growth is compared to a boat and the obstacles align with the nautical theme. The acronym of BUILD and others like AWESOME also set the stage for an easy and enjoyable read that not only checks off the box for self-help but thought provoking literature as well. Unlike most business strategy advice books, Peitzman effectively interweaves real-life experience and other professional advice. The balance creates a comfortable tone that makes understanding the concepts doable and rewarding. Often, finding ideas that stick is close to impossible because there is so much information available to us but Peitzman gives us a refreshing outlook that is difficult to find in other's writings. read less

However, personally, I felt like it was written for a certain type of person despite the clearly applicable aspects that addressed things I would implement in my own life but besides that, I felt like I was reading about ways to help other people (which is also not a bad thing). Overall, I give it three stars, because it was pretty good, just less personally my speed. read less

I also appreciated how John jumped right into the valuable information instead of filling pages with a meaningless lead-up.As I read, it felt like he was talking right to me, explaining the snags he hit while building his business, and the wins he gained when he started to implement the BUILD framework. I have always had trouble with the "B" in the "BUILD" framework, but I'm now realizing that building relationships isn't as hard as I thought it would be.The format and structure of "BUILD" was clean and easy to read. I felt myself breezing through each chapter because of how practical the book was laid out and how down-to-earth the language was.Overall, I can honestly say that I took away many gems from the book and I'm working on laying the groundwork for my new company, and also in a few of my personal relationships, using the "BUILD" framework. read less
