I am thankful to have been Marcus’s co-worker and co-founder, but most importantly his friend. He always leaves me impressed and in awe as he shoots for the stars. Marcus practices what he preaches in his brilliant book.

Create & Orchestrate was well worth the wait!

If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, this book will provide you with the wisdom and motivation you need to keep climbing that mountain.

Marcus has done a wonderful job of weaving his stories of his successes and failures together with important information about running a successful business and overcoming the hurdles.

You will be left inspired and ready to take the necessary steps to launch and grow your first or next business.

Marcus shares business wisdom wrapped in his personal story. It’s engaging, thoughtful and reflective. I learned much about the man himself as well as what has contributed to his success. I wish every young business person whether in high school or beyond would read his book. There’s so much inspiration to be found as well as great leadership advice.

I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced pre-launch copy of Create and Orchestrate., so I feel confident to say without hyperbole - this book serves as both an invitation and a promise that transcends beyond the pages you'll enjoy reading - "YOU have creative power!" Steps to realise and actualise that power is what this book is about. Complete with hard-earned lessons, this book can save you the pain of making costly unconscious mistakes you want to avoid while empowering you to actively learn and how to effectively pivot from key every life moment you encounter. If you're looking for fluff or theory, then this is not the book for you. Both "Create" and "Orchestrate" are verbs. As you'll explore in this book, it's about being deliberate and taking effective action to set up and optimise the conditions that increase the probability of success. It's a conscious sport! Read this book if you're serious about "creating" and "orchestrating" a life that matters!

This book breaks down some key points for early entrepreneurs to apply. I enjoyed the storytelling and real world examples of success and failure. Thank you for humanizing business.

I met Marcus a few years back when I was new to Nashville. He proved to be a great source of inspiration and gratefully opened his network to me.

Create and Orchestrate is is a glimpse into what it takes to overcome the odds in creating business value. The book hits all the high points of what it takes to make it happen.

I have been waiting for book that speaks to my generations (GenX/ Millennial) future in business. There are too many baby boomer books on the market that tell the same story. Marcus does a fantastic job of relating the new gig economy to the success of future entrepreneurs.

It's a refreshing read that will inspire new thoughts for your business.

Congrats Marcus Whitney!!

I have been waiting for this book for months - as an avid reader of Marcus' blog, I knew it was going to be good. I wasn't disappointed! I have read hundreds of personal growth and entrepreneurship books over the years, and Marcus' unique life story and perspective enables him to provide insights that are fresh and incredibly relevant. Will be sharing the book across my network!

I like the fact he tells his missteps and blunders. His authentic story shows his transformation from immature to mature. From failure to triumph. He shares knowledge and wisdom. There are practical tips and he demystifies "business speak" for the non-business educated. Though I have read numerous business books, he has new insights and fresh frameworks. His story is inspiring and his personal mission to make entrepreneurship accessible to all is evident and commendable. Buy the book and follow him on social media and his website. You will appreciate his obvious mission to help others.

I'm amazed and I don't regret getting to the end of that book. A lot of young black people (but not only) are in search of stories that can inspire them and to which they can relate to. This is one of those. Reading the story of Marcus makes me believe that I can do it too. I can succeed as an entrepreneur.

I like that the relevant basics of entrepreneurship are explained in an easily understandable way. It's not a basic motivational book written to make you feel good and I like that. There is honesty in there.

We're only in February but that's the best book I've read this year on entrepreneurship.

Great book, great price! For those who want to know how to run a business and have no concept of how to do that and what is important framework to keep in mind.

Not really helpful for me unfortunately, but maybe for people who generally have little knowledge about finances and entrepreneurship. Not much new stuff, sadly a waste of time.

Just started reading this book and so far it's exactly what I expected, a no nonsense guide for anyone who wants to go into entrepreneurship. The book is packed with practical advice and lessons from Marcus. Definitely recommend!

PS: The book arrived on time, in great condition.

Really enjoyed the book, it’s very holistic in the way Marcus shares both his failures then successes in a very candid way. He makes his points come alive by interweaving them with his life experiences. This is a great model for successful entrepreneurship and a book I will be referring to again.
