5.0 out of 5 stars Great green roadmap for an entrepreneur at any level!, February 19, 2009
By Jon Gensler (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Scott has done a tremendous job of breaking down many of the best green business opportunities into actionable ideas for the next generation of entrepreneurs. He lays out a broad swath of business ideas and gives concrete steps to take to make them happen. He has created a quick resource for someone starting out with direction, and an easy to follow approach for a passionate someone who may not be sure about what kind of business would be best for them.
If you want to start a sustainable small business, this book is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book For The Green Entrepreneur, February 13, 2009
Build a Green Small Business: Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur, is a look at the opportunities and recent trends in the green economy as well as simple but effective ways to plan and create your green business, market economically, and find your customers. Cooney points out valuable resources and sage business advice that could make a significant difference for the fledgling green entrepreneur. This book is obviously the result of extensive research and a true passion for a cleaner planet and a better way of doing business. My copy sits on my desk and I refer to it all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book- Very Inspiring, December 14, 2008
Loved the book. With the economy the way it is, this book was really relevant for me. I am going to start a green landscaping business and winter is the perfect time to get started. "Build a green small business" had a lot of good ideas for this business and many more.
Good Luck
