Great Guide

This is most definitely a great guide for anyone new to business/entrepreneurship. The narrator threw me off a bit as I just guess I was expecting a different sound. If you're an experience self employed person who has opened a business previously this might not be of great assistance, but there were nuggets for even those that have been business owners.

Overall a good listen and a strong guide for a good start.

Very informative

Beginner entrepreneurs can benefit from the information in this book. I even learned about the Pareto Effect and why focus is important!

A business god-send

As an avid business book fan and reader, I like to think of myself as a bit of an expert. Especially when it comes to the top releases we all know and love (or hate). This beautifully put together work stands strong among the greats. Highly recommend, and that’s coming from someone that has had a few entrepreneurial hiccups! Don’t go at it alone!

Practical + concise - Ideal for new entrepreneurs

As a new entrepreneur, I appreciated the experience-based, simple and realistic advice. Each chapter covers a challenge which any new business owner will have to face at some point.
Imo, this is a must read for any beginner!

Where was this audiobook a few years ago?!

I've made quite a few business mistakes, so I sought out a book to get me right. The book spells out complicated issues in a really easy -to-understand way. And it doesn't talk down to you, like a lot of other business books. I found it really motivating. Great narration as well. Recommend!
