Customer Reviews

An absolute must for business people

5 Stars is not enough for this excellent book. I read this book for a entrepreneurial course a year ago. However, it was after the end of school that I fell in love with this book. It is truly helpful for anyone with a passion for business and entrepreneurialism.Look for me in the future, Chris Philippi, future CEO.I will be starting a marketing consulting firm based in Northern NJ soon. Be on the lookout, this book has that kind of influence.

Freedom

As a fifteen year veteran of entrepreneural ventures (all reasonably successful) and after scouring through scores of books on assessment, planning et al, this book leaves me speachless.Explore the pages and you'll find yourself happy you found a modern, practical and valuable resource. Buy it, worth it's cost after 15 minuets!

A terrific resource for anyone planning a business.

I teach a course in Managing a Consulting Practice and consult to a wide range of organizations. This is probably the most practical resource I have come across that includes everything - from beginning with an idea for the business, to the basics of starting a business, to what it takes to plan for and run a successful business. The book is full of practical examples and short "Personal Workshops" (e.g., "Personal Workshop 24: Setting a Price Structure"). The book is a great resource for someone who has business experience but has never started or run a business, as well as someone with a great idea but no business experience. I highly recommend this book!
