Great book because of the way its layed out ... March 7, 2008

Thought this was a great book. The way it takes you through a week by week step makes it very easy to understand and he gives you some very useful contacts. I reckon with the majority of people who read this they will feel much more comfortable and at ease in starting a business.

One week to understand suppliers, one week to consider the management team! A whole week to think about your dream. Get real, no business is going to get off the ground on these deadlines. Its the kind of book to gift to someone who is considering self-employment. As a tool it is weak and except for the odd chapter here and there didn't tell me what I needed to know. Very disappointed, will probably try to re-sell as it is not worth book shelf space.

So you're thinking of starting, going to start or already started a business.
Then you should read this book. It helps by breaking down the process of starting a business into bite sized chunks that as the title suggests can be eaten week by week.
It's full of useful information and is backed up by a great online community flyingstartups.com with it's very own podcasts that has been set up by the author, whom you can tell is also passionate about the members of the site and their businesses and or ideas.

Best Books for Business Starts March 16, 2006

This book along with THE BLACK BOOK OF OUTSOURCING (Brown & Wilson, Wiley Publishers 2005) gave us the best start we could as for. If you're starting a business, don't go another step without reading these two books. They will put you on track to successes you didn't even know possible. Great books!

Thought other readers might like to know that we agree with every comment left by my fellow reviewers. This is a book which assumes you know nothing (we didn't) but by the time of finishing you are left with a very clear idea and (hopefully) plan on how to turn your idea into a reality.It holds your hand and walks you through a 20+ week plan to turn your initial "shall we / shan't we" thoughts of starting up your own business into a reality. It's written in simple and easy to understand language - it never baffles and has some great tips. It doesn't presume to have all the answers and offers alternative sources of information at the end of each chapter, as appropriate to the activities for that week. Well done Steve for writing a great book. I never thought that we could actually run our own business but after reading your book we really believe we can - and a succesful business at that.
