 do you have time to waste? May 28, 2010

What is this book supposed to be about?
It is about things you already know. He said things like you can ask money to a relative, pay your credit card debt before you start, the definition of small business and the percentage of small business in the country and what percentage are form by women, or latin or etc etc. i do not find this information helpful at all.
Blah blah, what kind of advice do you find on that?
I was expecting advice regarding the legal aspect of starting a business, forms of ownership, tax forms, etc.
The funniest part is that starts talking bad about the rest of business books, so funny.
 Another easy addition the series May 26, 2010
M. Palmer (Los Angeles, CA)
This is another dummies addition that reads much like the others, easily. It really strives to get beginners to understand that starting a small business is serious business, and that its risky. It understands and expresses that small business just isn't the best move for everyone. The book does give many resources and chapters that are devoted to help keeping a small business afloat, managing employees and the all important legalities. I purchased this book in accompaniment with The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a massage Therapist by Meagan R. Holub. The Magic Touch really exceeds many other texts in that it provides surefire applications for a service business to use so that it can have optimum chances of real success. Together these books make a great team.

This books reads more like an encyclepedia than an acutal guide for small business. Very little in here for someone who is running a business. Most of the advice is is in the form of rudimentry questions like "are you sure you are ready for business."
