From Zero to CEO: Entrepreneurial Lessons for Success review

A $17.99 ebook promising the path from nothing to chief executive, under an invented doctorate.

Pass

The title is the problem. Zero to CEO describes a journey measured in years, staff, capital and governance, and this is a short undated file that also promises brand building, finance, operations and leadership. Nothing that broad can be practical, and the leadership chapters are aimed at a situation the reader by definition does not have yet. The credited doctor holds a PhD in CEO Psychology with twenty-two years of experience, which is not a degree, and the catalogue repeats that formula on all eighty-four titles. Named business books cost the same and come with a publisher behind them.

A title bigger than the file

Launch, brand, customers, finance, operations, leadership and habits.

Leadership advice presumes a team the reader does not have yet.

Everything, therefore nothing

Each promised area is a discipline, and none can be covered usefully in a chapter.

Named books on any one of them cost about the same.

The co-author's degree does not exist

The listing credits Dr. Carol Hooks with a PhD in CEO Psychology and 22 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.

Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.

The rest of the numbers are decoration

Claims 305000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.

The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
