Jan Ryde's book "When Business is Love" discusses his business experiences, personal development, unique family business tales, practical applications and techniques, moral views, and, most significantly, company success macro- and micro-topics.

Grandfather Pehr Adolf Janson started Hastens Bed Company on the idea that love and passion can drive economic success. Learning and mastering a career that lets you help others was his main goal. And by doing so, you may always care for your loved ones.”In this business fundamentals chat the author emphasizes the significance of sustaining craft, distinctiveness, and customer demands in driving product development. Managing a family firm entails resolving family issues, managing familial pressure, and obtaining help reconciling their diverse opinions.

The author genuinely examined these subjects, stressing the obstacles family-run businesses encounter and the significance of understanding. They also explain raw materials, their horsehair processing mill, and the crucial steps to ensure the company's success. These stages comprised efficient costing, marketing, targeting specific clientele for product development, balancing loss-gain graphs, and adapting to market demands to maintain quality. Consumers want cheap things, while others sell used materials the author's family doesn't use. Multiple levels of competitiveness, pandemic problems, reaching the bottom, and new viewpoints are the hurdles.

The author's detailed discussion of these characteristics stressed the significance of mastering business fundamentals, including procedures, tactics, and learning within and outside the selected firm, rather than entering blindly. The author recommends departmental priority, problem-solving, and innovation. In addition to technical issues, the book advises business-enhancing mental techniques. You can hire the proper development team by interviewing individuals who want to assist and reach the right consumers with smart marketing. Limiting beliefs, customer feedback, state of mind, competitive attitude, listening to others, suggestions, accepting advice and generational values, self-belief, self-love, and a healthy workplace were discussed. All these factors strengthened the firm. The author stressed the significance of minor details and behind-the-scenes elements like easy, open talks with customers that produce numerous ideas, a positive atmosphere that increases their return, and self-belief as the first step to success.

I rate 5 out of 5 for this book. Clear chapter arrangement and topic separation aid reader comprehension. The author chronicles the family business's successes, failures, growth, contributions, and issues. The book's facts, ideas, and recommendations concerning competition are important, and the author deserves credit for being practical and honest. I enjoyed the book's narrative approach and didn't find any disliking factors. For pleasant reading, the editing team produced an error-free book. I recommend this book to aspiring business people for its ideas and advice.
