The headline to my review says it all. I cannot comment on the effectiveness of these strategies for my own career just yet, as my first novel is just now available for pre-order and I do not have all the tools necessary to put these strategies into place. However, I will definitely be adjusting my keywords, tweaking my email newsletter process, and filling in my back catalog as I go along in my author journey.

We are right in the middle of shareholder agreements and company formulation.  This week, a spreadsheet was formed up outlining ownership but it hasn't been finalized. Our company is Blisd and it is all about spreading happiness.  As such, it's probably useful to make the shareholder agreement reflect that notion too!

I picked this up on Kindle the day before I hopped on a plane and during a layover, I sent out an email to my co-founders saying it was mandatory reading.  I'm halfway through it now.

What you can expect to get:
A thorough explanation of founder types, situations, relationships, and company formulations - backed up by statistical analysis.
A model for proceeding called the 3Rs.

As principle founder/CEO, I can tell you that we're going to apply what we learn in this book.  We hope to build an adaptive agreement and organization that's both fair and far reaching - by design.  That spreadsheet I mentioned above will be undergoing some major surgery.

I reached my crisis point when I took on yet another bad client because I had to, to cover my expenses. That's when I decided to take control of my business... properly. The first place to start was the finances. I knew that once they were healthy I would be in a position to only work with people who appreciate what I do for them and who improve my life in return.  Thanks to Mike's Profit First system, for the first time - I get it. I now have a system in place where my business is healthy and I am happier in work and play. I've reduced the size of my plate and I'm enjoying the process of saving money. This is THE book to read if you want to get out of the mire. And as an added bonus, it's a hugely entertaining read. Brilliant!

While reading this book, I found I have already done some of the leg work; it was reassuring and helpful to me in a way to start taking myself seriously

I haven't learned all the nuts and bolts yet, but so far I have found it very straightforward to integrate and streamline elements of my business that I had done previously with an array of software.

I hire a profession to do the job at last. Maybe it's not the product is bad, just because I lack of skills.

Working for oneself is filled with ups and downs, but it is, or at least I have found so far, one of the most rewarding things a person can do. Lise and Mike have been in the trenches, doing the work needed to be done, and now they are imparting their words and wisdom (and actionable advice) to those in the middle (or beginning) of growing their business. For me, I have struggled for the morning routine and giving my work top priority. This book really shed light on these two issues. It has given me some ideas on how to make the changes I need to reach those 6 figures. I have no problem putting this book next to the 4HWW on my reread/reference shelf.

Read the first version of this and it's been inspiring.  I'm now in the midst of getting a new venture off the ground with the goal of reducing my work hours.  Right now it's been much more than 4 hours a week, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel!

I used this book to start a company that I've been working on.

I like that it is laid out in an intuitive way and it's great to reference when you're not sure about specifics in different topics (e.g. accounting, taxes, employees).

It's definitely targeted at a general audience so it doesn't have a *ton* of detailed information for specific industries, but it most certainly gives you a springboard to jump from. For any information that wasn't detailed enough (especially when I needed more information for my specific industry) it at least gave me a few clues on what to search for on Google.

All in all, this book definitely helped me to figure out all the "stuff" I needed to do, tips on how to run my business, and giving me some cool ideas!

It has given me a good base to work with. Other half is going to read it too.

I bought this book to try to establish in my own mind whether I would be able to start a business and whether the business idea I was mulling was creditable. This book has put my mind at rest. I must admit I haven't made a million yet in fact I haven't started yet. BUT and this is a big but! I now know what to do and what correction to move in - previously I was running around a bit like a headless chicken.

I am in the process of trying to open my own company. This book gives a pretty good general overview on what you will need to get started, and hopefully to be succesfull.
