Book Review: "The Star Principle" by Richard Koch

Richard Koch has made over $100 million from spotting 'Star' businesses. In his new book, he shares the secrets of his success - and shows how you too can identify and enrich yourself from 'Stars'. 

Star businesses are ventures operating in a high-growth sector - and are the leaders in their niche of the market. Stars are rare. But with the help of this book and a little patience, you can find one, or create one yourself.

THE STAR PRINCIPLE is a vital book for any budding entrepreneur or investor (of grand or modest means). It is also invaluable for any ambitious employee who realizes the benefits of working for a Star venture - real responsibility, fast personal development, better pay, great bonuses, and valuable share options.

Richard Koch is the author of The 80/20 Principle, which has sold more than a million copies and been published in approximately forty languages. He is also a successful entrepreneur and investor whose ventures have included Filofax, Plymouth Gin, Belgo restaurants, and Betfair, the world's largest betting exchange. He was formerly a partner of Bain & Company and co-founder of LEK Consulting. He has written more than twenty acclaimed books on business and ideas.
