 Good, solid start to exploring the business owner's world September 5, 2008

I've been dabbling with the idea of buying a small business for years. I purchased this book to help me get started. Like all "For Dummies" books, it's written in a way that makes the content very approachable. Every page contains good, solid advice that would cost thousands of dollars to get through a consultant.
Excellent Resource! September 23, 2007

I think that before anyone becomes an entrepreneur they should read this book.
It is filled with facts and evaluations to help you. There are also some very important things to take note of.
I especially like the definitions of a small business, and what we need to look out for when thinking of venturing into a small business.
Chapters one to three are very important reading material.
 A very useful book to have May 12, 2006

I am quite happy with my purchase of this book and Eric Tyson has done a good job at giving us some very interesting alternatives.
However, I'd like to recommend that you also pick up a copy of Untapped Wealth Discovered by Jeff Marquis & Kerry Harrison.
This book gives us a fresh new approach to realism, has suggestions for reducing costs and increasing revenues, and has an eye for booming markets.
Hats off though to Mr Tyson.
