User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars A must read for any budding entrepreneur!
As an engineer that wants to work my idea into a successful business, I need all the help I can get in non-technical areas. This book was the first I read to try and get a better understanding of the business world. It did not disappoint! Steven does an excellent job of getting his knowledge across to people in a manner easy to understand and follow. My venture is still in the development stages but I am going to utilize the knowledge I gained from this book to project my idea upwards!
5 Stars Very good book for a beginer
Very nice book for the first timer.
Explains in detail about the ABCs of starting a new business.
It was very helpful and enlightening about how to start a business.
A must read for anybody who wants to know what is needed to start a successful business.
It talks more about starting a startup company rather than starting a small business like a store.
4 Stars Very good, but needs more depth
The Entrepreneur’s Notebook by Gold offer an enthusing reading for anyone interested in knowing the fundementals of starting a new business venture with the least amount of mistakes. This is why I liked this book:
1. Uses real life examples from the author’s own experience to explain entrepreneurship and the mistakes not to make when starting a new business.
2. Uses very simple analogies (I love the chapter on cash flow).
3. Very easy to follow and explains the different entrepreneurial personalities in great detail.
I did not like this book for the following reasons:
1. This book is not universal and most of the chapters apply to entrepreneurship in the US only. Although the first chapters are applicable to any entrepreneur, the ending chapters are rigid and US specific.
Final Verdict: Still a valuable buy but more applicable to US entrepreneurs rather than Entrepreneurship in general.
