Customer Reviews

absolutely a must read for new business owners.

I have started several businesses and how I wish I had the opportunity to read Jay Hearst's book first. I think if the local business license group required this to be read before getting the license, there would be considerably less failures for new businesses. Just having knowledge of the prospective new business and a big ego will not get the job done. Not only does it contain "must have" information, it is easily read and understood. I commend Mr. Hearst for his service to the business community.

No Nonsense Advice in Plain Language

For the beginning entrepreneur or seasoned business person this paperback will give you plenty to think about. The writer candidly describes his mistakes as well as his successes, which I found refreshing. He showed me the common pitfalls facing businesses from their beginnings to their maturities in an organized fashion. I believe that the book will be a resource for me to be kept within arms reach in the office.

Found this book to be informative, comprehensive, and easy to read. Recommended for anyone thinking of starting their own business. Congratulations to Mr. Hearst for all his success.

Essential reading for any business owner!

Want to start your own successful business? Buy this book! In fact, buy 2 copies! I've nearly worn out my first copy from regular use. From a self-assessment review, all the way through growing your business and eventually selling it. Everything you need to do it right the first time is here. This book is overflowing with practical details of what to do, and humorous examples of what NOT to do in business from someone who has been there every step of the way. You cannot afford to be without this resource in your business toolkit.

Buy this book!

This book is chock full of helpful and useful information. My copy is highlighted and dog-eared all the way through. It goes from helping you discover if you have what it takes, through preparation and building and growing a business. Every aspect of starting and running a business is discussed so that the reader can be prepared. The author is not only forthright and insightful, he's also entertaining. The practical usefulness in this book is well worth the read. Yaahooo!--I'm ready to take the leap!
