Not applicable to me and my business unfortunately

If I was a CEO or Venture Capitalist this book would have been a home run.  However, I'm a struggling business owner looking for some advice and insight for my small potatoes company.  The book was an excellent take on the memoir / business book, but even the interesting anecdotes didn't teach me much about how I could improve my managing style or my company.  Rather, when I finished it I took it as an interesting biography with a little bit of advice to other CEOs.  If you're looking for a great business book and you're part of the 99% of the workforce then I recommend you look elsewhere.  However, if you're looking for an interesting biography of an excellent CEO then this would be a great choice for you.

I just bought this at Borders because I needed it this weekend, but I'll be taking it back.  I've just ordered "The Missing Manual" from Amazon, instead.  I, like some other reviewers, feel like it is trying to market its online services more than serve as a reference manual.  I won't be using those services.  Yet, when I have a question like, how do I retroactively enter paycheck information, there are no answers.  It's basically trial and error.  Hopefully The Missing Manual will be more helpful.  I'll be reviewing that soon.

I like Quicken but it gives me some headaches sometimes.  Having home and business, I expected the business section to be easier to navigate.  Also, I can't really add my leased vehicles.  Update business with friendly, easier to use buttons and add lease to the vehicle debt.

not suitable for me, but the stuff is a good one.

I thought I would be able to keep track of my all my business activities and you can, if you have no employees. Only after purchasing I was told I can't use the payroll subscription with the academic version which I thought was "Full Functioning"
Thankfully Intuit offers a refund for a limited time.

It's good enough for me works fine. I don't really care for the range of it. I just don't want to deal with solicitors.

Sorry, but the title is inappropriate to say the least; maybe someone wanting to start a business would find the book interesting, however to use as a study guide for the law portion of a contractor's license exam this is not for you. Much better would be 'How to conduct a business office for a company'.... This book is a total ripoff!!

Before you buy this book, it is important to know what it is and what it is not. It is not a guide to understanding the different types of business structures available to entrepreneurs and which one you should choose. It is also not a manual on how to set up an LLC and what papers to file. It assumes you've already got an LLC running. If you're thinking of starting your own business and need to understand the tax advantages of one business entity versus another, this book is not for you. As stated on the cover, it is an "operating manual". It'll help you take care of day to day affairs and keep records of your organization's decisions and transactions. It is a guide on running your LLC, not starting one. It doesn't offer any advice or strategies for success.

If you're a single member LLC or a consultant/contractor, this book is also not for you. It is for multi-member LLCs and many of the forms deal with meetings. For what it is (a collection of fill-in-the-blank type forms), the price is decent, not fantastic.

I thought this would be a nice way of combining my personal and business accounts.  I am use to using Quickbooks or other account software for my business.  My opinion is that if you are use to quickbooks or any real accounting aoftware you are not going to appreciate this minimalist style of money tracking.

It might be ok for someone looking to simply track expenses, but a business needs more than that...I will be going back to quickbooks.

Apparently my company is listed in this book as accepting query letters from Screenwriter's for representation and producing. This information is inaccurate, we are not a Film Production Company and we are not accepting query letters for representation and producing your screenplays.

I did not receive the book--an empty box arrived  and the driver recommended that I refuse to accept it.  I did that, but didn't receive a credit for the book or a replacement--Help!!  I would love to read your book--we are small business owners who are constantly being audited -- one ' no change' audit after another--they just keep looking for something--we are elderly and tired, but we finance construction projects in our small town and if we don't continue at least 20 tradespeople will not be working because there is no one else doing what we are doing.

This book is really focused on a large national company with their own brand of physical products, most of them actually things you could buy at a supermarket.  The book does not deal very much specifically with a business that sells services or for a retailer that is selling other companies' products.  It's also not geared toward smaller businesses that have a more local scope.

Also, the author's experience is in the U.K., and that is where his examples are drawn from.  The principles are still valid, but as an American reader, many of the company examples did not come with the intuitive understanding that more familiar companies would have.

There was information of value to be gleaned from this book, but its more narrow in breadth of focus than the title implies.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Good-to-Great/dp/0066620996/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Good to Great</a>&nbsp;was a book of much more value with a small (10-employee) business retailing others' products while selling our own services.

My son downloaded this for me without noticing there were British pound signs on the cover. I failed to notice them also, before I started to read it. It is written for people who start business in Great Britain, and therefore was of little value to me. The only possibly applicable thing I learned about was "crowd-funding" which I don't think I will attempt to do.
