Good Advice

This book is great for anyone that is just starting off in the business realm. I'll assume that whose who gave bad reviews on this book are people who already have a good amount of expereince in the business world. For them this book is just too basic of information that they already know. I, on the other hand, am just starting out in the world of business. I am 21 years old and this book was perfect for me in teaching me the basics and where I need to go to get some of the information I need. This book was also very motivating for someone starting off like myself. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone that wishes to begin learning about what it takes to buy and sell a business.

"The richest people in the world learn to buy and sell businesses, not work for them."

The most motivational part of the book is in the forward when Robert Kiyosaki quotes his rich dad, "The richest people in the world learn to buy and sell businesses, not work for them." What the book lacks in motivation it makes up for in facts and detail. I would say it's more for someone that has already decided to buy a business and is working through the details than someone looking for the motivation to make that leap from an employee to a business owner. There is a great Henry Ford quote, "Never complain, never explain." The topics covered are basic in a business 101 type of layout, sort of like a text book, but well worth pushing yourself through for the basic knowledge you'll get. Get the foundation with this book then move on to some biographies of business whirlwinds who give you the real drive and push to start doing deals.

Great book for buying & selling a business

This book will show you how to properly buy or sell a business. How to evaluate, negotiate and close the deal.I like the fact that Sutton includes scenarios and explanations.If you aspire to own your own business or looking to buy or sell a business, this is a great book to show you how.In addition you must read Own Your Own Corporation by Sutton and Rich Dad Success Stories for motivation and ideas.

I wish I had this before I bought my first business

This book, the newest in the Rich Dad series, will save a businessman years and thousands of dollars in mistakes.The typical mentality of checking with an attorney is not the best advice. Some attorneys, as reported in this book, will drag on the process and many are not entrepreneurs.I also recommend Real Estate Loopholes which also just came out in bookstores.Read and grow rich.
