Stuff I never thought about
I was expecting this book to have the basic "know your math" "don't get screwed" type of basic information, but I was actually pretty impressed that this book covers essentials that most people wouldn't think of. For example, the fact that your company needs 1 basic goal and value to succeed, so that everyone is on the right page and directing their energy and time to the same place, is absolutely essential, but I didn't know that. These are cool tips that are out of the box. Great tips!

Motivating and practical.
This book is very functional, clearly written, and well narrated. It goes through the crucial steps for starting a business and goes beyond what you learn in business school (I am a business major). I would recommend it if you started or are on the cusp of venturing into business entrepreneurship.

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!

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!

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.

Beginner Entrepreneurs must read
Great book for first timers, enjoyed this book thoroughly. I really enjoyed how long it was, and wasn't full with fluff. The narrator performance was a bit on the bland side but other than that. If you are a first timer and don't want to kill your business, this book is for you.
