What Others Say
An absolute must for business people
5 Stars is not enough for this excellent book. I read The Real World Entrepreneur Field Guide: Growing Your Own Business for a entrepreneurial course a year ago. However, it was after the end of school that I fell in love with The Real World Entrepreneur Field Guide: Growing Your Own Business. It is truly helpful for anyone with a passion for business and entrepreneurialism.
Look for me in the future, Chris Philippi, future CEO. I will be starting a marketing consulting firm based in Northern NJ soon. Be on the lookout, The Real World Entrepreneur Field Guide: Growing Your Own Business has that kind of influence.
Freedom
As a fifteen year veteran of entrepreneural ventures (all reasonably successful) and after scouring through scores of books on assessment, planning et al, The Real World Entrepreneur Field Guide: Growing Your Own Business leaves me speachless.
Explore the pages and you'll find yourself happy you found a modern, practical and valuable resource. Buy it, worth it's cost after 15 minuets!
A terrific resource for anyone planning a business.
I teach a course in Managing a Consulting Practice and consult to a wide range of organizations. This is probably the most practical resource I have come across that includes everything - from beginning with an idea for the business, to the basics of starting a business, to what it takes to plan for and run a successful business. The book is full of practical examples and short "Personal Workshops" (e.g., "Personal Workshop 24: Setting a Price Structure"). The book is a great resource for someone who has business experience but has never started or run a business, as well as someone with a great idea but no business experience. I highly recommend The Real World Entrepreneur Field Guide: Growing Your Own Business!
