Mastering the Rockefeller Habits: What You Must Do to Increase the Value of Your Growing Firm 

by Verne Harnish

Mastering the Rockefeller Habits coverRich Russakoff wrote the final chapter (10) of this book. The chapter title is Mastering the Art of Bank Financing.

 The fundamental ideas that produce real market value and owner wealth are based on the same “habits” John D. Rockefeller employed to master the oil industry. During that era Rockefeller’s disciplined approach to business replaced the helter-skelter methods of the original pioneering speculators. These important disciplines explained in Mastering the Rockefeller Habits need to be embraced by all companies that want to prosper in the upcoming decade.
