As a writer, I always look at the Table of Contents so I can see if I can find what I want in an organized manner, and I could! I liked the idea that the author built on the first letter so I could read the information in order and so I could easily refer back to a section when I wanted to.The Introduction set me up as to why the book was written and then what was to come in forms of solutions.Of course I had to ask where does the heart in his title come in, and he explained why so well.I also liked his additional information examples, and guidance. I suggest you read until you find the Ivy Davis story. I loved it because I could relate to it with someone in my life like that.I am going to keep this book on my desk so I can easily and quickly refer to it for each letter, for his advice, and for his rah-rah attitude providing encouragement through knowledge. 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

John Peitzman has a clear, conversational style and peppers the advice with personal experiences and anecdotes (I particularly loved the story of an 18 year old Peitzman stopping a shoplifter by bluffing with his karate skills) that kept me engaged. The BUILD framework itself is laid out clearly and systematically, with each chapter covering each "letter" (Build Relationships, Understand the Business, Implement strategies, Lead and inspire, Deliver excellence).I've read other business books that advise a ruthless or cutthroat approach to other people, but the BUILD framework starts with "Build Relationships" and focuses on being a true leader who leads with positivity and authenticity. At 112 pages, it's a quick read with a wealth of helpful information and common sense suggestions like using flashcards to keep track of birthdays and interests of business contacts. I felt inspired to up my game. read less

JP fills his book with anecdotes, commentary, and motivational reinforcements that make the “BUILD Framework" an easy read. No doubt, it’s a great addition to your personal library. read less

The BUILD Framework is a great guide to building a successful business and overall becoming a more successful person within. I loved how the author described his personal struggles leading up to understanding and applying the Build Framework to his life. His story was more encouraging because I knew he came from a breaking point in his life as I have. I also loved how the author placed the book into a better perspective by describing it as navigation out of struggleville. I've worked with many corporate companies before but none of them has ever brought the premium leadership that the Build Framework does. As a new leader at my current job, I felt like this guide has provided me with the tools that I need to become a reliable, successful, and happy leader. I also loved how the author highlighted the struggles within having a huge effect on your professional life. Most jobs expect you to leave your feelings at the door and put a smile on your face, but this guide also helped me realize that it's okay to not be okay and that you can be successful and happy as well. read less
