1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment, October 4, 2000
By "professionalprodigy" (Hillside, IL United States) - See all my reviews
...This book was very misleading. After reading his book, it would lead me to believe that there is no such thing as free money or help. The book should have had more sources for free money (not loans). I know how to get a loan. His book referenced very few grant places (if any). It spoke on different places for assistance in various areas (e.g. someone who could help you start your own business such as SBA). Thats not the reason for my purchase. His commercial claimed that it could help you get free financial assistant for women entrepreneurship. It was a waste of my time and money. His book was misleading and a joke. Never will I purchase another one of his books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good reference to navigating gov't programs, December 31, 2000
By Jennifer L. Berger "malleron" (Fort Lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After having read & re-read this book over the past 6 months, I find this book an incredible resource to navigating the complex web of government assistance programs. Of course, buyers of this book should be aware that the government is notorious for changing things around without telling anyone, so much of the book's information will either be incorrect or completely obsolete. That said, it still provides excellent starting points for getting the information you need for your business.

Keep in mind -- this book is an information resource; it does not get you approved for assistance and it does not do any of the work you need to do anyway in order to finance your business. I think critics of this book are ignoring the fact that the author is a professional information broker and as such has done about half the work that you would have to do on your own to even get to the application stage of requesting government money. Since most people have neither the time nor the patience to mine for gold within our bureaucracy, I'd say this book is a good deal if only for that.

Just don't expect it to fill out the forms for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally Useless Book..., June 11, 2001
By A Customer
I found this book to be totally useless. I had hoped to find resources for women starting a new business. No such luck. I also bought another book by Lesko at the same time -- it was also a waste of money in my opinion.
