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.
