Become a Game Changer: The Business Playbook for the Internet Era is a nonfiction business/finance book written by Mark Brigden. The author believes that right now is the perfect time for just about anyone to make their mark in business, but the door to that success will be open for only a limited time. He coaches business owners and entrepreneurs online and shares the techniques and strategies he’s perfected as a businessman and professional coach. He first discusses what he actually means by the term ‘Game Changer’, and sets the reader several tasks to determine whether they have the aptitude, determination and passion to become one. The internet has profoundly changed business, both how it’s conducted and how to get started, he argues, and this is the time to get involved in a big way. Online business does not require the huge outlays that brick and mortar storefronts require, the costs of advertising have been dramatically decreased, and access to a customer base is virtually unlimited.

Mark Brigden’s nonfiction business/finance work, Become a Game Changer: The Business Playbook for the Internet Era, is a step-by-step guide to setting up your own online business, and it’s crafted in an accessible and user-friendly format. The author is an online coach, and he quickly had me jotting down my ideas for how to spend the money I’d be making as a game changer and considering the perfect online business based on my interests and skills. This book contains a treasure trove of useful ideas, links, and apps that should be of interest even to those readers who decide not to take up the game changing challenge. I found his ideas on ebooks and publishing, video courses, and ways to use social media for advertising and networking to be of particular interest, and will be considering my own game changing tactics using this book as my guide. I found Become a Game Changer to be an inspirational, informative and practical self-help guide and highly recommend it.

In this informational yet fun book on finance/business, Mark Brigden explains how anybody can be a game changer. Brigden makes it clear in the beginning that in order to be an innovative and creative person in business, a person has to know that there are multiple options in approaching a situation, and that distress is unhealthy. Changes are coming, and we have to embrace these changes to improve our business.

I love the way Mark Brigden puts a personal voice into this book. This is an informational read, but an added personal touch always keeps me interested. The author added in a bunch of different personal opinions and stories, making the information seem more relatable. He also makes everything sound short, concise, and on point. This is a good thing, because flowery language just confuses people. I like the style of writing because it makes understanding and remembering the info much easier. This is the way I wish all textbooks were written, but sadly that is not the case.

I like the way the author summarized the points at the end. It refreshes the memory and makes one think about the content. This is not new in many informational books and textbooks in the market, but Mark Brigden doesn't give readers a loaded paragraph. A long review just overwhelms me and I'm sure many other readers feel that way as well. Overall, this is a very good book and has a lot of potential to be successful in the current book market. I would recommend this to my friends who are interested in starting a business!

In Become A Game Changer: The Business Playbook For The Internet Era, author Mark Brigden takes the reader on a journey through the world of available technology to enable success in business. He takes a detailed look at the options available, questions individual motivation, and then considers aspects that can encourage success in a developing technological world. He examines the meaning of the term ‘Game Changer’ and whether it is the right time to explore that opportunity, offering suggestions and directions that may be new and innovative, and encouraging the budding entrepreneur to look at things in the business world slightly differently in order to rise to the top in their particular field of expertise.

First of all, as Mark Brigden rightly suggests at the beginning of his book, it is highly recommended to have a notebook and pen handy to jot down the numerous suggestions, links and opportunities covered in this book. This is not only informative and instructional, but it is motivational. Well written and constructed, this book put me in mind of being at a motivational speech, such was the power of the enthusiasm that comes across in this author’s writing. Since he was clearly writing from his extensive personal experience, I found myself excited by all the opportunities Mark was highlighting. For any person seeking to step out into the world of business and to take advantage of modern technology, the author guides the reader through the maze of opportunities available and manages to incorporate positivity and enthusiasm, resulting in it being almost impossible not to be inspired to achieve better and higher personal goals.
