I Found this book to be invaluable. I have ordered the entire series because of information involved. This book opens the readers eyes to realistic business information and strategies that work. I used this book to write my business plan and plan my business as well as getting financing for the business. The verbage and language helps you negotiate any business contract. Actually, there is too many benefits to list! Just buy the book if you are considering becoming an entreprenuer.

If you have been running a business for a while and are seeing successes/failures but you aren't sure why: Please buy this book and enjoy!
If you are just starting out on your expedition (because journey is way too overused), I recommend you get a SCORE (http://www.score.org) representative in your area to help you out for about a year, then pick up this book: It will say a lot of the same things, but in a different way. Which, I think, can never hurt.
My favorite section of this book is easily the cash flow projections. He made my brain hurt a little bit, but then I started to understand things I didn't know were out there.
All in all, this is a book I will keep in my library for as long as I own a business.
Good book, good MBA insight March 8, 2007

this was my first MBA or any business type book. it was a really good and easy read, and had a good mix of detailed and technical know how. Gave me some good insight into understanding the company that i was working for which was about a 30 employee company in Boston.

The problem with this book is that it was written as a textbook with very little practal advice and no real "know-how" methods. Similar to virtually all business books written by professors for colleges, this book falls very short in equipping would-be entrepreneurs with the insight, skills, and know-how needed to become successful entrepreneurs. I would not waste your money on this book at any price.
If you want a great book on the topic, I highly recommend "The Startup Company Bible for Entrepreneurs". This little-known book is rapidly becoming THE STANDARD for entrepreneurs.
