A cartoonish oversimplification of a complex subject  |
What do you look for in a business book? If you answered weird-looking fonts, cartoonish graphics, and breezy text, then Bob Adams "Streetwise Small Business Start-Up" may be for you.Bob went to Harvard, but dont worry, this book wont be over your head. Mr. Adams tips are long on folksy charm and short on hard facts. Often, he simply points out the obvious. Example (p.99): "Consumers tend to pay a lot more attention to feature coverage in newspapers, television, and radio than they do to advertising." You dont say, Bob? Mr. Adams tries to jazz up his limp writing by using strange fonts and dingbats, plenty of (uninformative) graphics, and even tilting whole pages diagonally, but these gimmicks merely underscore the books emptiness. The graphics throughout are as vapid are as the text, and look like they were snatched from a bargain-basement clip-art collection. Would-be entrepreneurs, do yourself a favor and buy a different book.

Excellent foundation book-hits a lick on all aspects.  |

Great reference book for starting a business. Covers all aspects from accounting & tax issues to marketing, and much more. I heartily recommend this book in all my seminars. Very useful three way presentation style: in depth; Q & A; and stories with graphics. One of them is bound to match your learning style.

Full of easy to understand advice for any small business |
This book is not just for start-ups. Its for anyone operating or considering starting a small business. Bob Adams knows his stuff. Not because hes some guy from Harvard, but because he has been through the small business wars.
The book presents information in short, easy to digest bites, and runs the gamut from where to get ideas for a business, to hiring your first employee, to firing your first employee, to selling the business. And everything in between. Legal matters, cash management, customer service, taxes, accounting, buying equipment...
I really like the Q&A sections for each topic and the use of bullets and lists. They make it easy to find what you are looking for without having to hunt for it.
My only complaint is that you have to order a separate CD to get templates and forms, but even without them this book is a bargain
