Thank you Greg Shields for putting this book together. I recently started a business and would refer to the information in this book constantly. It truly helped us get the business up and running.

Starting a new business, take this book.

I am going to start a new business and my Purpose is Profit: This is truth (always) behind any business. There are structured differently than the broad-based other industry, and it articulates elements of small business in understandable terms. In addition to the nuts-and bolts information, the authors’ individual experiences of walking the line between entrepreneurial dreams and business realities are invaluable to one who is launching into a new venue. I highly recommend this book.

Recommended, for everyone.

The author gives step by step directions on your start up, from failures to his success stories, not leaving anything out. I have read a lot of entrepreneurial books, start up books, and business books, but they all leave out the key secret to making huge success. Greg Shields did not leave this out, I can best describe this book as your grandmother’s sauce.

The author didn't leave anyting behind.

This is all information you can know without any experience in business, and is readily available for free on the internet. I thought it would have more useful information and actual numbers, or at least some type of in-depth research but it was 99% filler and common sense.

That said, I did like the section on reasons to go with a partnership or LLC, or LLLC, or corporation structure. That I had never really thought about liability and other structures for a privately owned business. I just wish the book had had more statistics and analysis.

Information is Common Knowledge

Here the author tells you all the main ingredients but leaves out the key secret ingredient, so that the success of the sauce will not be there. Greg Shields, on the other hand; tells you all the ingredients and gives you the right direction to make a successful sauce. This is one book I will be able to leave on my desk and refer back to. It is not just informational but also a great read, He really brings you in and surrounds you with knowledge from his life's story.

The author nailed it for us.

“How to Start a Business: Step-By-Step Start from Business Idea and Business Plan to Having Your Own Small Business " is like having an owner’s manual for starting your own business. I highly recommend this book not only to anyone looking to follow their entrepreneurial calling but also to those who own a business as many of the topics discussed will still be applicable for maintaining and driving that business forward.

I have listened to this in the past few days and is one of the best volumes for starting a new business. This audible talks about all the necessary information you will need. I would recommend this work.

A solid work for anyone looking to start

Just finished “How to Start a Business". I wish that I had access to it six years ago when I started my own business. What I really admired about this book is that the author not only detailed what worked to create his successful business, but he also included what didn't for the business that failed. It would have been very easy to omit including the failed business.

Starting Your Own Business as owner's manual.

For doing a business there is always Purpose Is Profit which is inspiring and pragmatic. If you are a potential entrepreneur, the book will encourage you, help you figure out when the time is right, and then guide you along the entrepreneurial path.

Inspiring and pragmatic.

I tried my absolute best to give this book a shot When I got halfway through I thought my audible had skipped back to the beginning because I kept hearing the same information. Proprietorship is easier but riskier, incorporating is harder but safer. We get it. I want to know how companies are structured and how businesses move through funding cycles. Maybe I picked the wrong book.
