Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Once again, Fox gets his business expressed just right. After equally succinct books on becoming a great boss and a CEO--among other career aspirations--he addresses the more than 25 million small business owners in the U.S with a few homilies, some practicums, and many direct commandments, such as "selling is job number one" or "pick up paper clips . . . but overspend on customers." And this one as well, "work on the business, not just in the business." Smart remarks notwithstanding, this prolific, no-nonsense writer gets readers' attention with short snappy chapters and down-to-earth advice, covering funding (sources for loans) and sitting on nonprofit boards ("give, get, or get off") as well as marketing and running a business. Even seasoned pros can benefit from his words. Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Make Big Money in Your Own Small Business by Fox, May 25, 2004
The author explains that the first and most important task is to
identify quickly the target market of customers. Next, it is critical to compute the break-even-point and the minimum number of customers required to cover the costs of entering into the
business. Ultimately, the author inspires us to do what comes easy to us and what is harder for others to do. He breaks down the time commitment into 60% marketing, 30% service and 10% management. In addition, he points out the necessity to work hard
on a consistent basis.

5.0 out of 5 stars * * Buy for your business friends * *, June 28, 2004
By John C. Dunbar (Sugar Land, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although some have criticized this book as being too simple, I find it makes a great summary of the important things a small entrepreneur must do.

It doesn't take too long to read but it contains lots of practical advice. I underlined mine heavily.

This book is also appropriate as a gift to friends that are starting their own company.

The most important points that I derived from this book were Fox's lists of things to do, and their priorities. I highly recommend this book, and all the rest by Jeffrey J. Fox. He's become one of my favorite business writers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple building blocks to success, September 5, 2004
By Bobsyouruncle (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
There was a review here that was unjust. The guy complained about the books simplicity and that it should be reading for kindergarden.

Well I run my own business which is successful (meaning: debt free, great cash flow, wonderful income, will retire in my 40s to pursue all those other life goals). Presently I am buried up to my eyeballs in daily issues like sales projections, new products, marketing, accounting, etc. The trees were obscuring the forest when I picked up this book. It's simple list of things to do was refreshing and I was shocked that out of my University degree and over 30 business books on my shelf, there were a number of simple things I had overlooked.

Other books bury you in chapters, what this book says in sentences. The other reviewer looks like one of those many MBAs who dream of being a CEO of S&P 500 company and believe in making the simple things in business complicated for their own ego.

If you really run a small business then I would pick this one up to re-focus yourself on the simple things to success. It is easy to forget the simple steps when you are busy and you start to wonder away from what makes you successful. This kindergardener is happy to find a point or two that has paid for the book 100-fold.
