Very vague & outdated
This book does have useful information in it, but it was so much more vague than I expected. I didn’t get as much out of it as I hoped. Additionally, I read this Jan 2023, and certain parts are outdated at this point.
Not A How To-Guide! Generalizations Only!
I am use to reading the “for dummies” type of books but this one is my least favorite because it’s doesn’t give me a step-by-step process for starting my business. It’s just a “things to think about before you start” kind of book, which in my case wasn’t helpful. A lot of the things laid out in this book, we (my husband and I) have already discussed, type of industry, size, locations and roles. I’m not saying this is not a good book.. it is for those who don’t know what business they want to start or haven’t even planned anything yet.
I’d also like to see a chapter breakdown.. so I could tell in the beginning I can tell if I need to by this book or not. Or if I’m past a lot of parts, then I can skip to where I need help, like financing or insurance suggestions.
All in all if you know you want to be entrepreneur and have no clue what you want to do or where you’d like to focus on.. this book is for you. But if you know all that and are in the planning stages of launch and need more help with that portion then get another book.
