Kushell's insight and charisma make this must read a delight (0/0 people found this helpful)
The combination of pure insight and Ms. Kushell's obvious charisma make this book not only a must for any entrepreneur (young or old), it is truly a delight to read. I have found as a 28 year old single mother, juggling my young son and my globally expanding business, carefully directed strategy is essential. I certainly don't have time to do anything twice (well...except for reading her book which should be done at least twice). Ms. Kushell's approach to business is innovative, wise and appropriately challenging. Unfortunately, we cannot all personally have Ms. Kushell as part of our team; however, this book will make you feel like you do...
Little practical advice (0/1 people found this helpful)
When you are thinking about starting your own business, probably the last thing you need is this sort of fluffy advice to become "mature", wear a suit, and heavily network. I was hoping for more solid information, like the virtues of incorporating rather than being a sole proprietor and other real concerns of a small business person. Plus the author's "voice" really irritated me. There are *much* better books out there on this subject.
A comforting & friendly guide! (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book reinforced my entrepreneurial instinct. The inspiration I obtained from reading this book gave me the courage to give up my successful 'wardrobe' career of ten years. Purchasing and devouring this book within one day provided me the tools to be able to take my concept to "patent pending" reality in less than 60 days!
Excellent reading for the young entrepreneur. (0/0 people found this helpful)
Jennifer Kushell does an excellent job with this book. She shows great insight on how to get started as a young entrepreneur. This would be a wonderful book for any young people that aren't sure how to go about starting their career as an entrepreneur. I gave it five stars.
Hackneyed commentary by a johnny-come lately (0/0 people found this helpful)
Not very interesting or informative. Better to buy a year's subscription to INC Magazine or Harvard's Entrepreneur Book.
There is very little new information provided here. In fact some, of the information is leads the reader astray from 1999-2000 issues (LLC's, tax implications, true cashflow analysis)
