More like an idiot's guide how to start a business

2 or 3 different people talking through the book, I found it quite annoying. I don’t understand why they need to keep reading out all the web addresses, “visit H......T.....T.....P...” it just went on an on. Hardly picked up any advice I didn’t already know and the amount of times it tells you to make sure you check your domain is available before picking a business name, I mean come on is this really advice? It’s common sense in the digital age. Thought it would be a lot better than this, very disappointing. Tried to persist with listening, but after having to listen to another web address spelled out, I pulled the car over and deleted the book.

Excellent content - poorly delivered

This book is well written and insightful but sadly let down by Bianca Miller-Cole's reading voice. Speaking her own text out loud, the delivery is wooden and non-engaging, distracting from the otherwise interesting content. A professional narrator would achieve a 5 star review all round.

nothing to write home about unfortunately

I had high hopes for this book however was let down by the constant www. htttps:// in the course of 5 minutes listening I must have heard it 20+ times. parts of the book seem to be taken from Simon sineks start with why and there's seems to be a little too much name dropping their business'. it's great to know what companies that you run but every 20 mins is a tad excessive. I stopped reading after 1/4 of the way through.

Need this in your Self Made life!

I had the book saved in my wishlist for months, wasn't in the right frame of mind to listen. I was wrong, I could have taken notes until I was ready to start my business. I will listen to this over and over again to help me through my transition. This book explains everything from start to finish of having a successful business. Once I started listening, I finished it in one day! Thank you Mrs & Mr Self Made
