Reviews for Starting a Business QuickStart Guide

[velvet6moonlight · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I was interested in this guide because I wanted to get into selling my art online. The things I liked about this guide were the additions of misconceptions so that it can dispel assumptions people bring with them about owning a small business. However, for me personally, I was interested in an in-depth view of filing taxes. Although this guide does suggest an LLC and goes into the whys, it begins and ends there. For me, taxes are a particular deterrent for my desires of owning a small business. I am also a visual learner, and this book didn't really include any except for the headers which added nothing.

The author's passion for teaching comes through in the organization of the guide! The Quick Start Guide allows the beginners to jump in and start learning (the best way to learn, in my estimation); users with some experience will enjoy the guide as a good tool to review the key elements of working with data.The concepts, terminology, and the tools are configured well to help the beginner to tackle the learning while keeping the information accessible (the book doesn't throw a lot of jargon at you which can be intimidating for a beginner); as a result, the user can practice, make mistakes, and learn in a safe way, leading to absorbing the material and gaining confidence.The use of SQL is broken down into the logical components so the user can understand how to use it to get to the desired output. The end goal, after all, is to use the tool/data to be able to build expertise in analyzing to get insights into what the data has in store. This is the key expertise for all data-related skills needed in the marketplace.

A very useful and informative read. I really liked it! a key thing that I took from it is the difference between an idea and an opportunity. It also has a good number of examples in the early parts of the book that drive the points home, it showcases how to make a business plan (and why you need one), has caution sections for various things that many people get wrong, has 48 graphs, numerous free resources etc. In short a must.I received this book through Library Thing Early Reviewers.

I would highly recommend this book as a reliable guide and resource to others. It has insights that other books on this topic I have read in the past do not provide and is written in a language that is easy for the reader to understand. This book is well suited for anyone who has considered entrepreneurship. The practical solutions and clear explanations of decisions required to establish your business are helpful to someone just starting out.The inner thought life of the entrepreneurial leader was address so clearly and thoughtfully. It is a long-awaited approach to describe the tactical psychology needed for success in addition to hard work mantra so often emphasized in this genre of books.The author addressed many myths that will encourage anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur but thought they are only "born" of a particular personality or type.It provides viable solutions for topics such as market research that make the task less daunting for presenting your business plan. The book also includes the practical steps required to be successful in crafting your business plan and business relationships for the selected business model.The author shared that entrepreneurs must accept a mindset of change being constant, inevitable, and useful as part of their business approach. The advice was given to "play chess, not checkers" is good strategic thinking.The online resources available with the book make it a learning experience equivalent to a self-paced online learning class. The reader will be knowledgeable and able to act as a result of spending time with Mr. Colwell as an entrepreneurial coach.I received this book as a Library Thing Early Reviewer’s Copy and appreciated the opportunity to read the book and did not impact this subsequent review of the book.

Colwell provides a well-reasoned book on starting a business. The book balances well the practical and theoretical realms of entrepreneurship. I found the book to be insightful and well written. This book would be formative for aspiring entrepreneurs yet would also sufficiently inform existing business owners in improving planning and operations. Colwell's work could serve as the primary guide for entrepreneurs who are willing to plan and improve their chances of success. The book is simplified as promised, yet loaded with valuable information expressed in a readable manner. Nicely done.

I received a copy of this book for review. It came just after I had watched a friend go through the process of starting a business. Although too late for him to make use of, his experience was fresh in my mind as I went through the book. Everything that happened during the startup of a real business was covered in the book in clear and helpful fashion. Anyone thinking of starting a business would benefit from the solid advice offered.
