A very enjoyable read full of useful ideas to start your own business

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

In this book Adam outlines the things that need to be done to run a small business.The good thing about the book is that you know what you are going to get before you read it as there are 10 steps. More and more people are becoming self-employed and are looking for the freedom to run their own business,but it is essential to follow the steps in this book before starting the business.

As he outlines in the first chapter it is not necessary to come up with a completely new idea, it may be a variation that other companies are doing.
One of the most important steps covered in this book is the research, as industry is moving so quickly due to the changes in technology.
As the author points out you want to go into a business which is growing and where you can compete against existing suppliers.
In the business plan chapter he also writes about the USP (Unique Selling Proposition). This really is very important and needs to be given a lot of thought. For example,you may be offering faster delivery than anybody else, superior customer service, or other factors.

All the other steps are covered including choosing your business name and promoting your business

Vague, absurdly simplistic overview of business development

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

I would say that this book was useful as toilet tissue, if I hadn't bought the kindle edition. Instead, it bears no use whatsoever. It describes itself as "invaluable" in its introduction, patting itself on the back, before going into the simplest, most asinine overview of starting a business I've ever come across. You'll learn more from a few clicks around the internet than you will from this book. It will tell you to make a business plan, without telling you how to make one. It will tell you to conduct surveys of your target market, without telling you how to conduct one (it even tells you to use a couple of websites for help). It will tell you to budget your spending, without telling you how to do so. It will tell you to create the right legal structure, without telling you how to do so. Are you getting my point? Oh, and it puts scare quotes around at least one word in every sentence. I'm honestly pretty sure the author is snickering to himself as he sees his sales from this book.

I Recommend to Not Buy

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I mean, this isn't the WORST, but ... it's pretty close. It's WAY too simple, and this is coming from someone who knows zero about business; and I actually like simple. You can probably read this in an hour. It is not written well on grammatical level. It is written as if he is simply saying whatever comes to his mind and failed to get this copy edited. I kept losing track in the middle of sentences. I regret buying this book and do not know why it received such good reviews. It's just too quick of a run down of very basic things and I finished this book still knowing nothing about how best to start my business, and had a headache from his writing.

Helpful, succinct, informative

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

The value of this book for entrepreneurs and the self-employed is incalculable, honestly. I was very pleasantly surprised how succinctly the steps were laid out, and I really did learn a lot, about things such as USP and other essential information.

At 79 pages, it's got more than enough info to help you, and answer any questions you couod possibly have, but won't intrude on your work day. I read it during my lunch hour!

The action plan provide can act as a big stepping stone to any beginner as for me it has helped in checking on my progress and the loopholes that I need to fill up in my business blue print that I use in sketching and making plans and strategizing for my business. I like the step-by-step process provided in the book, its pretty achievable.

Average! Many things are just based in the common sense. However i found few suggestions in this book helpful. But i think the book could have been more practical and show more detail approach in first stage i.e. idea generation.

A useful motivation, but...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2017

... in practical terms, this quick read isn't going to equip you with any of the tools you need to get your business idea off the ground.
It's a group of handy pointers and I'll probably refer back to it as a checklist from time to time, but I'll need to do a lot more learning before I launch my ideas!
