Product Description
Six-Week Start-Up offers entrepreneurs a fast, proven formula for organizing the difficult details of a new business and getting it up-and-running. Designed by America's foremost small-business advice guru Rhonda Abrams as a personal workbook filled with worksheets, checklists, and planning tools, this handy guide takes the reader week-by-week through the entire process of getting a business started - from figuring out a business concept to dealing with red tape to finding and keeping customers.

In just six weeks, readers learn to identify their competitive edge, determine how much money they'll need and where to get it, choose effective marketing techniques, and much more. Unlike other books that merely provide advice, Six-Week Start-Up is a true business planning program that allows readers to succeed, step-by-step, in whatever business they choose.

5 out of 5 stars This book is a must for startups   June 21, 2008
I love this book because it have a lot of good information for you to think about for a startup. This book has fill in templates to help get you on the right track. This book is not about writting a business plan. It's about the things you need to do that is critical to your startup business. It may be simple, or you may say i knew that, but i know there are alot of people in business that did not do the things in this book.

2 out of 5 stars Title is a marketing pitch that promises to make it easy for you. WRONG   July 1, 2006
  4 out of 11 found this review helpful

Maybe if you are business-retarded this book might give you some ideas about the process of starting a business. But most of the material can be found worded differently by online articles or by using some common sense. Therefore, the book really does not provide any unique perspectives or tricks. Anytime a book gives you the impression that you can achieve something in a short period of time or simplifies it in a few steps, you know the author has watered the topic down so much that it ends up being a waste of time. But, hey its a good marketing strategy; it got me to buy it!

I'm a technology guy looking for a high-tech start-up book that really teaches you the "ins and outs." Does anyone have any recommendations?



3 out of 5 stars Very Cursory Overview   May 6, 2006
  5 out of 7 found this review helpful

Has some good tips, but there is a lot of fluff just to fill pages. There numerous worksheets to fill out, but there is no assistance is analyzing what you filled in on the sheets, other than to just think about it. You will not start most small businesses with this book's approach.


3 out of 5 stars Start here...but don't finish here!   January 2, 2006

Rhonda Abrams lays the down the bear bones of starting a business. She lists what you need to do and provides a lot of the forms that need filling out, etc (but these may be outdated so you should check) and in plain english, explains how to get thing done...but that is all this book is...nothing more, nothing less.

The title is enticing. Anyone that has started a business knows that 6 weeks is ambitious. This 6 weeks does not take hold ups that may be out of your control into account. For example, if you send you LLC formation paperwork to the Secretary of State it may take 3+ weeks to be filed, whereas if you go to the Secretary of State you may be complete in one day. Always assume the fast track if you aiming for things to be doen in 6 weeks.

This book is a great, simple, non-threatening place to start but this should not be your only "small business" book on your shelf.
