Feeling more confident

Loved the structure of this book. It clearly outlines the steps you need to take when starting out, maintaining, and scaling up. As just starting out a business, I had a lot of confusions and questions but didn’t know where to seek help. Expert guidance like this is perfect for someone who’s starting without many connections to seek help around. I’d recommend it to people at any stages with their businesses

Helped Me Move From Thinking to Doing

As someone who’s been circling the idea of starting a business for years, this was exactly the kind of guidance I didn’t know I needed. It breaks things down in a way that’s easy to follow but still challenges you to take action. I appreciated how it doesn’t assume you have all the answers or a network full of mentors—it speaks to real people figuring it out as they go.

Just What I Needed to Finally Get Started

My friends and I used to have a load of business ideas but no clue where to begin. I’ve spent way too much time overthinking and not enough actually doing. Most guides I’ve come across were either overwhelming or filled with jargon I didn’t understand. I like this audiobook, which is easy to follow and understand.

The first part helped me break down all the basics—writing a business plan, picking the right structure, and even the stuff I was scared of, like taxes and accounting. It actually made those things feel manageable. The second part got me thinking big but in a grounded way. I didn’t feel pressured to “go viral” or build an empire overnight—it was more about setting things up for smart, steady growth.

I’m finally putting together my business plan, and for once, I’m excited instead of stressed. If you’re starting from scratch like I was, this audiobook really helps make things clear and doable.
