The book is good and tells you most of the pitfalls you will encounter as a small business owner who works in the business. I felt he explained the pitfalls very well, was a bit short in providing the "how to" fix the problems. At the end of the book, you are given an opportunity to hire the author (or his representative) as your business coach ... that is probably where you learn the "how to " stuff.The book is a quick read, easy to understand and digest.I would recommend this as a mandatory read for anyone wishing to start their own business or anyone that has started a small business within the past 10 years.
