Summary: Very Enjoyable, Concise, Interesting Business Start-Up Book
Review: First Business Start-Up is written in a very interesting and easily understandable style. The usual topics, such as evaluating your business ideas, market analysis, business plans, financial reporting, and so forth, are covered in both real life story form and descriptive detail - which both drives home the points and makes for enjoyable reading of normally dry subjects. However, the surprise bonus for the reader is the chapters on business failures and "Failure Hall of Famers." Drawing from his personal experiences, Mr. Russell adds in story fashion a dimension that will enable future entreprenuers to recognize paradighms and pitfalls that may result in severly shatterd income statements and wallets.

While the information is practical and informative, the real and insightful stories that highlight the applications are worth the price of the book.

Review: So you think you want to go into business for yourself; well, this is commendable, but have you the basic or rudimentary knowledge so necessary to make a go of it? Yes, you have spoken with your father-in-law and your Uncle Jess once or twice and maybe some other tycoons or captains of industry, but are you really sure that their paternal or avuncular advise will be enough? Could it be that they have left out some important considerations such as formulating a business plan or securing venture capital?

Hopeful entrepreneur, do not go into the dark woods alone! William L. Russell's First Business Start-Up is a down to earth, no-nonsense approach to help you create and develop your own business dream or venture. It is a valuable guidebook designed to help you succeed.
