This book inspired me - reading Found Money, in conjunction with the E-Myth, are the books I will be recommending to my clients as essential guides for business in today's world.

A great combination of financial nous with marketing know how - straight to the point no nonsense common sense with practical suggestions and exercises.

I particularly enjoyed the way Steve explained the financial attributes of business and brought the money side back to basics so that it is clearly and easily understandable.

His focus is on great business - and I think that his book is great!

This book is very insightful to small business owners who do not have a background in business/finance and who tend to spend more time working with products and customers than with spreadsheets.

I already did an extensive review of Steve Wilkinghoff's book on my blog at [...] but this really is essential for business owners who would really like to transform their business from one that sucks up ever more of their time and money into the vehicle that will lead them to their dream lifestyle. If you get nothing else from this book, you should be answer the following:
Why "Getting More Customers" is often the most ineffective method of growing your business.
Why it isn't enough that your business is profitable, it must also be cash plow positive and provide a sufficient return on investment.
Why the worst method of marketing is often the first used.
Why some of your customers are most likely taking money out of your pockets and how to find them and fire them!
How to find out which of your products is really making you the most money and what products you want to sell more of.
Why most businesspeople actually under-price their products and how to find the best price for your products.
The book is a touch more technical than most business success books and I think that this may limit its popularity but it really shouldn't be anything that a business owner or administrator can't handle. Plus, this technical side makes it even more relevant and practical.

I bought this book because i am building my consultant business for small businesses owners..

The finacial side of a business is the least understood for 97% of small businesses owners

You must have this book as a finacial guide for your life if you want to have your dream life
working in or on your small business.

The chapter 7 and 8 are AWSOME !!!! , why i did not find this book 15 years ago !!!!

If you are a small business owner do not waste more effort,money and energy selling products
or having clients that are not gonna help you to reach your dream life.

So many entrepreneurs are busy, busy, busy, but their business are trap in the "death spiral"
(this is a great description that are you gonna find in this book) this death spiral is the
cancer of so many small business in mexico and in all the world...

This book is gonna do the "MONEY CONNECTION" betewen your dreams, your business vision, your business mission
and the PRACTICAL, REAL AND DOWN TO EARTH FINANCIAL SIDE of your business..

i think that the more influencial books in my life is the kind of books that can change and alter my paradigms
this is it....

i have so many things to express but my writing skills in english are so limited.... Thanks for this amazing book.

An excellent book that forces you to ask some very searching questions about your business.

In my opinion every business owner who cares about their business should take the time to read this book and work through the exercises.
