Foundational Knowledge Every Entrepreneur Needs
I have read hundreds of business books over the years and this one I continue to revisit once a year or so because the advice is timeless and the guidance always keeps me on track. Everything outlined in the book is practical and every business owner needs this framework to get and keep their doors open. Could not recommend this book more! Can't wait for the next one from these guys.

It is a useful
An inspiring and a must read for small business managers. It contains practical info gleaned from real life businesses. I have been inspired and encouraged to continue in business even in hard economic times. I have also gained insight into delving into innovation. The book has a lot to offer even on international marketing. I will start looking beyond my country boarders for more opportunities because I have had a lesson or two about how it works in practice. I will keep reviewing the book with my staff. It is a useful resource

School for Startups
I loved the example of the teacher working with his university students to start a real live business. This is a business start up book and the writer is great. Want a dream? Want a business? Try reading this book. Not an execution book but a delightful testimony of real life in a real business setting. Get it.Kay

A book with real examples...
Phenomenal reading! I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. Its content is very well illustrated and provides great examples and suggestions to begin your own business and manage it without having to invest great amounts of money. In my opinion, it's a great guideline for entrepreneurs who dream big.

Makes sense to me
This one will become a reference book on my shelf so I will not be selling it or giving it to anybody else. What I liked about the authors' approach is their pure pragmatism and common sense. When everybody else zigs, they zag. They load up a bunch of reasons NOT to borrow money, for instance, to start business or grow while everyone else is trying to do the opposite. They basically say, "Why would you do that to yourself? It's so easy to avoid." GREAT book. The 10 bucks will pay itself 10,000 times over.

Worth the small cost to wake you up
It filled a knowledge gap for a time. Great memory booster. You already know this if you have entrepreneur experience, but it nudged you to recall it

Quite complete.
Covers most of the problematic aspects that an entrepeneur will have to face when starting a new little company.Perhaps I find it's too focused on internet-based business, and it'd be great that it went a bit deeper into small traditional businesses, for example such as growing food, craftmanship, ...Anyway, includes lots of valuable ideas, rules and advices, so it's worth the price and more.

Leicht zu lesender Praxisratgeber
Das Buch ist sehr motivierend und in leicht verständlichem Englisch geschrieben. Zu den enthaltenden Tipps gehört ein Kapitel zum Finden von Geschäftsideen, welches mehrere Wege aufzeigt. Auch das Kopieren und Modellieren bestehender Geschäftsmodelle empfiehlt der Autor. Sehr gut und übersichtlich gelungen ist das Kapitel "Rules of Bootstrapping". Die 23 Regeln sind kurz und knackig erklärt und lenken den Fokus auf Profit und Cash Flow.Wer stark praxisorientiert arbeitet, kann mit dem Buch direkt loslegen und ein Unternehmen gründen. Wer mehr Theorie benötigt, der sollte auf weitere Literatur oder Berater zurückgreifen, da dieses Buch sich nicht mit dem deutschen Recht beschäftigt. Im Vordergrund stehen die Idee, die Möglichkeiten und vor allem Dingen das Tun.

Disappointed!
The book doesn't stand its promise. Its based on the assumption that everyone is working to bootstrap their business. Nothing mentioned for others. Didn't even inspire me to start a business.
