Very helpful. Readable and useful.

This book was very useful in helping me decide whether to start a business and go out on my own. The worksheets helped me to define myself and my aspirations. Very easy to understand and follow. A lot of helpful information in setting up a business the right way the first time.

Best way to start a solo business I know

I read this book in my leisure in the desert and every chapter, every experience, every word made sense to me. I have started a number of small business's and only wish this manual was in my hands when I started. Give this to any friend who says to you, "I'm thinking of starting my own home business." They'll love you for life. Jim Misko, Anchorage, AK

Creating Independence and profits

This book was right on target with its user-friendly guidance and advice. It gave me hope for a simpler way of living and working. It coached me every step of the way toward creating my own one-person business. Now I'm reading it again as I strive to increase my business, become profitable, yet maintain independence in my professional life and freedom in my personal life. This book's workbook format, checklists, and no frills advice made me feel like I had a professional career coach right by my side. It is the best business investment I've made yet.
