I usually don't read Dummies books, but this book has some good reviews. I am looking for new thoughts on business plans and sales plans. I am thinking I can create some new ideas from some new places.
I feel poorly placed to review. It had some helpful and lots of not helpful information. Even though it reaches out to single proprietor business occasionally, it still seems much more focused on the larger and more corporate end of small business and concerns. So not a bad book, but not for me.
(If you're looking into a crafting business I think I'd say to look elsewhere, this is much more service, outsourced retail, and web oriented.)
Completely invaluable information as I begin my endeavor to begin my own business. This was a remarkable tool that familiarized me with business topics and lingo as well as helped me to create a thorough and solid business plan.
Detailed instructions for developing and following through on a business plan. Includes a CD-ROM with forms and other information. This work gives a general overview.
