Welcome

Ever notice that the world is full of experts who have never actually done what they are "experts" at?

Many a business professor has never actually managed a business. Most business courses stress defining business terms but never actually teach the concepts of running a business.

This blog hopes to teach some of the terms and, at the same time, give some examples and lessons on running a business.

There will also be reviews of books on business listed here. Sometimes companies give me books to review. Regardless of where I get the book to review, I will give my honest opinion. If I was given the book to review I will always disclose that in the review.

I seek to start posting on 02 January 2012. Some of the posts will be recycled from some of my other blogs.

The reader should know that there is no one “Right Way” to conduct business that will apply in all situations. This blog is meant as a place to start. It is hoped that you will perform further research and consult professionals experienced in your particular business before making any important decisions.

Book Review: The Art of the Start



Book Review The Art of the Start


The Art of the Start is a very well written, thought provoking book. I read it from cover to cover. I like the idea that many references to other sources are included. This book takes a look from the financing side of a business venture. I recommend that every potential business owner read it as part of their business education. 

My version of The Art of the Start was bundled in with 
Business Plan Pro 15th Anniversary Edition which is a helpful tool to use when you start to write your business plan. If you are seriously considering starting a business and/or writing a business plan this book is one you should read before you begin.
Book Review Policy
My policy on book reviews is to give you my honest opinion of the book. From time to time publishers will give me a copy of their book for free for the purpose of me reading the book and writing a review. The publishers understand when they give me the book that I am under no obligation to write a positive review.

If you will look at all my reviews, you will see that there have been occasions when I have written a negative review after having been given a book.

I often provide links to books on Amazon.com where you can purchase books and help support the continued operation of this blog. However, I strongly encourage you to check out your local library. Many libraries now offer electronic borrowing for free.

I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 
I received this book as part of my M.B.A. degree from Florida Institute of Technology. It was packaged with the software for Business Plan Pro.
