Customer Reviews
Don't Pass This Book By!
Excellent, thorough book covering aspects of starting a business beyond writing a business plan.
This book is for anyone entrepreneurial, not just retiring folks; I wish I had it years ago.
I have worked as a consultant, and tried to start a business, and found myself limited by, and unable to find, pertinent information that I needed to be successful. For me that was the accounting and tax portions of the business, pre-internet it was hard to figure out, and expensive to hire an accountant. This book covers everything you need and more, as it takes you on a personal self exploratory journey.
It's good reading even if you don't start a business.
Highly recommended.
Great resource for retirees
"Retire--and Start Your Own Business" is a very useful, practical resource
for retirees like me who are considering starting their own business. The book is full of examples, anecdotes and short, simple exercises to help the reader work through all the important considerations in starting a business. The authors walk the reader through a very logical process, using clear jargon-free language. I chose not to read the book cover-to-cover, but instead focused on the topics that were of the most interest to me. The book's layout made that very easy to do. The authors point the reader to many additional resources which I appreciated. I would recommend this book to friends and family without reservation!
Fulled with Wisdom and experience
Want to start your own business? This book goes through all the details including marketing, credit issues, health insurance, contracts, should you incorporate and taxes. It has a great cd included with pdf files on all the things you may need to know before you jump into business.
I found it valuable. I hope to start my own home business someday and this book will help.
