Customer Reviews

CUSTOMER SERVICE THE BEST!

Being A Small Buisness Owner myself, I am very impressed with people who still offer personal customer service. The next day the Owner from the book store E-mailed me a very personal e-mail saying that my book had been mailed. He insured me that if there was any problem make sure that I let him know, because the only way he would be happy was if I was satisfied. This book arrived in a timely matter and was it tact the way he said it would be. I Enjoyed the personal Customer Service via E-mail! Thanks! Your customer Service is the BEST AND GREAT PRODUCT!

Basic Information for the True Novice

If you haven't a clue about running a small business then this book is for you. For more advanced topics - look elsewhere. This book is good for what it is; a treatise on the ins and outs of managing the small enterprise. You'll find many helpful suggestions but much of the information is quite dated. Still there aren't very many books that tackle the unique problems of the one-person business. So for a unique perspective on your fledging operation, check it out.

The best business book I've ever read!

I loved reading this book. It gave clear and concise methods of running a small business yet also inspired with ideas of how to do what you really love. The book gave good arguements why this is the only way to live and told many stories to back it up.

Covers subjects that no other biz book addresses

There are many new small business books being published but this is truly one of the classics. Rather than emphasizing information about getting permits, writing a business plan, etc., Running A One Person Business discusses how to keep from being isolated, how to separate your work life from your personal life, how to go on vacation when you're self-employed, etc. I recommend it to my small business students.
