5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a win-win, especially if you are just starting., October 24, 2008

I spent the last month going through this book with a vengeance. For someone like me, who wasn't born with business sense, this book is a godsend. Mr. Hazelgren writes in a style that is easily accessible to the layman and provides a wealth of information that is indispensable for anyone who is even toying with the idea of starting or buying a business. I found that the chapters were laid out in a logical progression that made the concepts he presents easy to follow and digest. I found the worksheets he created to be extremely helpful not only in deciding the kind of business(es) I would do well in, but also in determining the place I am at as far as turning my dream into reality. Now that I know where I stand, I can use the great strategy presented in this book to progress from the idea to the planning stage.

Things like creating a business plan, figuring a budget and applying for small business loans, all seemed intimidating. Now I have the information that I need and in a format that I can use. I feel that this book has opened new doors for me, and it will continue to be my first and best source of information in my efforts to become a small business success. Here's to the American dream!
