Rain: A book review by Bob Morris
Posted on: April 9th, 2013 by bobmorris
Portrait of a Young Entrepreneur
This is the most recent of ten books that Jeffrey Fox has written and is, in my opinion, his most entertaining. In the first part (Pages 1-128), Fox presents a business narrative in which a fictitious youth named Rain embarks on a brief but productive career as a newspaper boy. (Presumably Rain is Fox’s surrogate.) Like Forest Gump, he encounters a series of adventures but unlike Gump, he seems to have more “street smarts.” Fox cleverly introduces a number of challenges and opportunities to dramatize several basic business lessons. Then in the second part of the book (Pages 129-192), he shifts his attention to his reader whom he invites to compete “a series of analytical exercises anchored in each of Rain’s adventures. The exercises are designed to illuminate Rain’s entrepreneurial thinking and his rainmaking principles.” Actually, completing the 29 brief exercises does more than illuminate the Rain’s ”rainmaking principles”: It also enables the reader to make direct application of most (if not all) of them to her or his own circumstances.

I recently was a guest on John Lee Dumas’ EntrepreneurOnFire.com podcast and while the final interview won’t go live until March, it’ll be worth the wait. The story I have for you started over 10 years ago, but was prompted by the interview that opened up a wild rehashing of memorable career-shaping events from the early 2000′s.
One of John’s common questions for the interviewee is to tell the audience what their favorite business book is. I gave two answers: “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill (I recently did a re-read of this old school book) and “How to Land Your Dream Job“, a book by Jeffrey Fox I read as a college intern.
