Be Prepared to Start an Online Business

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 2, 2020

Are you thinking about starting an online business? Opportunities abound, but a majority of online businesses fail, most likely because those starting them are not prepared for what needs to be done.

40 Rules provides a helpful scaffolding of information for starting an online business. It will not give you all the details, but and covers many of the issues that you might come across when starting an online business.

Some of the rules included in the book are:

- Know Your Why
- Excuses are the Fuel of Failure
- Head in One Direction at a Time
- Prepare for Failure; Plan for Success
- Have a Business Model, Not a Business Plan
- Let Your Customers Develop Your Product
- Make Your Launch a Can't-Miss Event
- Busyness is Not Productivity
- Fail, Quit, Regroup
- Go Where the People Are
- Always Be Testing
- You Are Never Finished

If you are looking to start an online business, this can be an excellent book to ensure you have all your bases covered.

Practical. Simple. Actionable.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 29, 2015

Some have characterized this book as simple, basic, or suitable for beginners. I agree. And that's what makes it such a great book.

Vince Lombardi, the famous and uber-successful Green Bay Packers football coach started every season with the most basic of instructions: "Gentlemen, this is a football." Lombardi didn't stop with that simple advice, but he always started there. And he is heralded as one of the best and most successful football coaches in history.

Paulson purposely focuses on the basics - the fundamentals - of online business. Why? I believe it's because so many people spend their lives looking for the next "big thing" they can chase instead of focusing on just one thing at a time, the best thing, and executing on that. We tend to gloss over the basics, ignoring the fact that consistently executing on the basics is what most often leads to success.

In Paulson's own words, he encourages readers to proceed with a very narrow and purposeful focus: "I set myself apart from the rest of the financial news community by reporting on one thing, stock ratings, better than anyone else and by publishing the data in a very convenient format, a daily email newsletter. Because I have been able to differentiate myself successfully, I have been able to grow that business to more than 100,000 subscribers in just over three years."

If you are bold enough to say you have executed on all 40 rules in this book (check the table of contents), read something else. For the rest of us, it's a great read. That's pretty simple.

I like the author...
Seem to have attention span. I am sort of the grandchild of a business person. That business keeps popping up. I am to do more than bankrupt it. Ive always hated business people. Thanks for the free e-book. You might want to charge money for it. Just a thought.

FANTASTIC BUSINESS BOOK HOW TO

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

Outstanding business book. It is the best of the grow your own business type books that I have read to date.
It contains news and information that I have not found in other business or entrepreneur books. One of the best
suggestions I found was not to trade equity in your business for labor. Get the money to pay for the labor and
absolutely maintain total ownership of your company. I had tried to trade equity for labor with no success which
matches Mathew's take on it. People who contribute labor want to be paid for it. Another thing that surprised me
was his suggestion not to incorporate right away but wait until you are at about $100,000 in revenue. Just operate
it as a sole proprieter business. These are just a few of the unique suggestions. Bottom line, this is a highly
recommended book worth every bit of the price. Not only that but he includes suggested books for reading that
he has found useful in addition to his own. BUY THIS BOOK YOU WON'T BE SORRY!

The reviewer is the author of the Kindle book entitled: Sex Education for Adults

All about mentality, NOT how-to

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

The book is good if you need a mindset change or a "hoorah, you can do it!" I was looking for a step-by-step guide to online business. Book is all about the mindset, WHY you should do what he did. No steps or guidance on HOW exactly to do it. That's where the sales pitch to get the course at the end comes in. I skimmed most of it, trying to find any nuggets. I think I found 1. Mostly bloated word stuffing. Most of these authors are like this. Maybe they don't want to give away their secret sauce for free? I get tired of it all. I'm seriously contemplating writing non-fiction that actually tells you how and if I offered a website course...yada yada, I would tell so in the book, what the price is and the exact topics it covers. There are WAY too many of these "gurus" that blow a bunch of smoke and you only figure it out after you have purchased the book or course..etc. I'm looking for hacks, secrets, how to passively accomplish more wealth without having to work a whole bunch. I have some cash to "invest" in others to do it for me rather than me having to learn EVERYTHING and add more work or another job just to start an online gig or side investment for passive cash flow.

The beginning of the book really helped me clarify what I should be focusing on while building my business. The additional resources Paulson lists are fantastic, including podcasts and books. He even gives a nice list of potential business ideas. In general, this book helped me see some possibilities I hadn’t considered and was written to be understood easily and read quickly.

Some of the best advice you could read for aspiring business owners!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

This ebook is full of the best advice I have seen collected in a single volume. Yes it's free and I generally operate under the assumption that free advice is often worth what you paid for it. This book is the exception that proves the rule.

I especially like the calls to action at the end of each rule / chapter - you are challenged, if you like, to research and consider how the rule might apply to your particular situation.

If attending training does not alter or improve what you do or the mindset you have, I'd question its value. This book will undoubtedly alter both what you do AND your mindset.

This book really worked for me because it gets straight to the point in each chapter. No dramatic sob stories which seem to be the norm in so many similar books.
