Woods has written a concise, easy to read and valuable resource for anyone looking for tips on starting your own (ad)venture.

It has the usual tales of success and cautions you'd expect from the "Getting Started" genre but the concise style and excellent structure (think Dummies Guide without the "cute" pictures) means you won't feel you've wasted time on the read

If you are already in business for yourself or are looking for a step by step guide then it's not for you. If you're about to make the jump this could help.

I got to know about this book as a read reference from my professor in my Entrepreneurship course at Åbo Akademi University in Finland and it is just great.
It is simple, easy, go straight to the point and full of tips. It is priceless and Caspian Woods really share his wisdom and experience with the reader. It is perfect for the ones who are wondering how would be open their onw business because it shows the good and the bad side of being an entrepreneur, also what you should do and what you should avoid doing, being very realistic what make it very credible.

The 24 short chapters of the book are consize in 160 pages and I worn you, once you start to read will be difficult you put it down. It is really a book worth to read. The only drawback I see is that is written to UK citzens and the chapter 21 about tax have things that is not worth for not UK citzens like in my case in Finland.
I definetely would recommend this book.

I was very excited when I got this.Being a complete novice I thought it sounded perfect.It is quite funny and written in a casual but informed manner.Before you can really use it however,you really need to have some idea what business your contemplating...I didn't.Essentially it is a big book of TIPS.
Overall it's a really nice book to own,but it hasn't got all the answers,it does give broad suggestions,but we have to come up with all the initial ideas,dammit!
You can use these tips on your idea,if you have one,I didnt,so I had to wait before I could put the information to use.A good one to have on the bookshelf as a reference.I like it.
