An adequately researched and cleverly articulated book to help anyone devise a sustainable business plan. A must read for every startup wannabes. Having a vague venture idea, I am using the book as a yardstick of reality to write my B-plan.
I am also looking forward to learn from Hess in person , if admitted to Darden’s program.

In this timely and important entrepreneurship primer, Ed Hess and Charles Goetz “walk the talk” by delivering simple, sound, common-sense advice and counsel for aspiring business owners. Don’t expect fancy charts, esoteric consultant-speak or silver-bullet algorithms here — instead you’ll get plenty of straight-talk and smart, practical and applicable advice from two successful entrepreneurs who’ve been there and back and now want to share their insights and passion. After reading “So You Want To Start a Business?” I was tempted to buy a few hundred copies and send to Washington to help with the bailout turnarounds. A great book and a powerful tool for what will certainly be a surge in American entrepreneurial spirit in the coming years. Well done.

If you are thinking about starting your first business, you are already counting the money you will make. Do yourself a favor and read this book before you make the leap. It will save you a lot of heartburn and after you have started.
Being a large business owner and the owner of a new startup company, I can tell you from personal first-hand experience every word in this book should be taken to heart. Be brave and go for it, but know the pitfalls that most people fall into after they have started their business.
One example from the book is that people who are ready to start their own business are counting the money they are already going to make. I have been there and done that. It was nice to see a book that will ground you so you don’t make the mistake of succumbing to the negatives that outlook can have.
Read the book! Be successful! Make lots of money and do it wisely!
