5.0 out of 5 stars The Entrepreneur's Survival Guide Second Edition, August 24, 2003

This review is from: The Entrepreneur's Survival Guide, Second Edition (Paperback)

I recently came across an exciting new guidebook that should help entrepreneurs build their companies. The Second Edition of The Entrepreneur's Survival Guide [Cedar Mill Publishing] is authoritatively written by author Mark Paul who himself is an entrepreneur. This book provides a welcomed practical perspective to business growth, survival and management.

This book starts by describing the characteristics that sets entrepreneurs apart as leaders. Next are relevant steps of how to raise money in tight times and build not just your game plan, but also your team story and credibility - really relevant stuff for entrepreneurs who already understand theory but desire practical tips.

This book should benefit start-ups as well as entrepreneurs trying to take their company to the next level. A welcomed treat is a chapter on strategic selling skills which also speaks to how the CEO is a company's "ultimate" sales person.

Although this book is under 200 pages, once read you feel as if you've taken a crash course on how to take your business to the next level.
