Must listen for all going into business!

This book is a must listen for all, whether you're going into business, starting a non-profit, or even some form of management. If you are someone with a dream that wants to start something but with no idea how... this book is definitely for you!!!

Most small business owners I know are very good at what they're product is but don't have a single clue on how to run a business and would greatly benefit from this book. However, it is not the answer to all small business problems. Rather, it provides a very detailed but not bogged down overview of how to make any organization run whether it is talking to customers, buying from wholesale, advertising, etc. A lot of it is also about people skills, which you can really never improve enough on.

Awesome list of Information.

As someone who currently works through a daily corporate grind, this book has become my tangible guide to forming my own personal cash flows. I didn't know where to start and this book has loads of content for anyone with a clean slate and no experience on where to begin.

If you are looking to become financially independent I highly recommend using this book as a starter's guide!

Every question about small business is answered!

I wish I would have had this book when I was setting up my small business. Not only would I have saved tremendous amounts of time and money but I would have had a clear and straightforward reference book that could keep me on the direct path to more success. It's really a must for anyone starting or contemplating starting a small business. Clearly the authors have done their homework and have chosen to share it with the world. Bravo!

Great book for start up business.

Wish I had listen this book before I launched my small business. I've underlined and cross referenced so much information from this book and recommend it to everyone who is thinking about launching their own business. I've had my own business for over thirteen years and I still picked up valuable information that will help me to plan and profit more intelligently.

Great Value.

A very thorough overview of what you need to know to start and run a small business. I see other posters suggest that the program is overly general. Recommended this book.

Motivational with actionable advice.

If you want to open a small business, this book is for you. It provides great motivational and lifestyle advice for soon-to-be entrepreneurs and functional advice on planning, starting and running your new enterprise. Typically I find many books on small business and entrepreneurship to be a lot of fluff without much actionable substance, but this author actually guides you through what is required to take the plunge and start a business.

You can start a business with this book as a Bible

The book was very descriptive regarding the business process; starting a business from scratch or purchasing a business. Listeners can assess the different aspects necessary to market, advertise, employ and manage a business. Recommended.

Must listen for the Entrepreneur Mind.

Some books are more motivational than substantive whereas other books just give you tons of useful tips and strategies. This book has both. Kershen not only draws on his past experiences to light the fire in you to make the same positive changes he implemented, but he also gives you simple and actionable steps to get there. Even better is how well organized the book is so that you don't feel overwhelmed by everything you are listening.
