Starting a Business
I just received this book today and started reading the first chapter. I especially looked at the table of contents because that gives you a lot of information of what youâre going to be learning in the book. I highly recommend it so far it immediately captured my attention and I feel like Iâm going to make positive steps forward in building a business. Iâm especially encouraged that a professor wrote this book.Heâs been there, done that and even wrote the book. I bet he even bought the t-shirt. ð¤£I highly recommend this book because it immediately captured my attention. I believe that it will help me to prepare myself for the upcoming year. Buy it, read it and hit the ground running. Ok?

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
I was really looking more for a book on how to move forward once you have made all the decisions based on this book .. so, unfortunately, it has had little to no value. But I’m sure a great buy for anyone who is tossing about an IDEA rather than one who has already gotten past these stages.

I really like this guide,I’m a business and management student, reading this during lockdown to help me with planning my first micro online venture, starting with minimal capital.This guide is really comprehensive and covers a great amount of things to consider. You can then go and look at these particular components of a start up in more detail if you wish to, but the book makes you aware of it and provides enough info to have a go and understand the idea.
