Reviews About Start Your Own Business, Fifth Edition: The Only Start-Up Book You'll Ever Need (Paperback)

Its a review about this product

It's been a little while since I've actually read this book but I remember a great deal from it. The information that is here is wonderful and I'm not knocking what the author wrote.

However, I don't feel that this is the only start-up book one would ever need (as the tagline suggests.) It feels like more of a preparation to start looking into the idea of starting your own business. There are things that are missing in depth discussion that really needs to be there to cover all the bases. But on the other hand in order to cover all the information needed for ever individual who read this book you would need thousands of pages. My point is that this is a great jumping off point but expect to do lots of research into some of the aspects it discusses and probably read a few more books more specific to your ideas for a business.

Everybody has different ideas for their business. But the one thing that I recommend you do if you are serious about starting a business is get a good book about marketing/branding/advertising. The information covered here is nothing more than an overview of what those words mean, when compared to books devoted to the subject. If you don't have the skills to do these things your business will never make it.

To sum it up, it's a good book with lots of general information. If you are considering starting your own business this will give you an idea of what you need to learn about, but does not give all the knowledge there is to be had about starting a business. The only reason for four stars instead of five is the misleading tagline on the book. Otherwise it's five stars.
