 As the owner of a successful Homebased business..., 2008-10-06
As the owner of a successful and well-established home-based business, I continue to read on the subject. I found this to be a very interesting and well-written book. The sections on marketing and establshing financial systems and price points were particularly well done.
The weakness to this book is that it did not address people with a business/corporate background (other than computer skills). If anyone has such a background (as do I), the executive search/recruiting field is one to strongly consider. For thorough information, the book Search and Placement! A Handbook for Success by Larry Nobles and Steven Finkel is the only comprehensive foundational work.
That said, those without that background should find this book to be of definite worth.

Great advice in every sentence, 2008-06-13
This book is full of great advice. It many instances, the author is sharing what he has learned through hard experience, so that the reader does not have to duplicate the mistake. This is a must read for any budding entrepreneur.

A great book for anyone starting a business!, 2008-04-22
I highly recommend this book to anyone starting a business. It is filled with many helpful tips, ones that point out what you should be doing, and others that point out what you shouldn't.
This book gives me the knowledge and positive attitude to get through the first few difficult months. To be honest, I kept knocking on the wrong doors until I found this book. I felt like Christopher Columbus without a map. I wasn't sure what to do, who to trust, and what was really important and what wasn't, what to spend money on, the value of bartering, the importance to advertise, and how to structure my day so I don't work too much or too little. Working from home is very different than working in an office. The book has helped me set attainable goals, set priorities, and what is important to do right now.
Dan Furman's book is a gift to anyone starting a new business. The book is direct, to the point, and funny. It covers a multitude of subjects and I take it with me wherever I go. I jot down ideas during the day and Start & Run has everything I need to know. A new business is like having a baby. It takes the same care, time and attention that a newborn needs. I found starting my business was like having my first child. I didn't have a clue what to do first. There were so many first-time, important decisions to be made and I kept looking for a mentor. Well, I found one here.
