Product Description
Product Description
From buying and selling PC hardware to product development and selling services, "Start Your Own Computer Business: The Unembellished Guide" offers a realistic picture of making it on your own. Bestselling author, Morris Rosenthal, has 15 years of experience in the computer business, building and repairing thousands of PCs and helping hundreds of customers. The book mixes practical advice and cautions with real-world anecdotes of successes and failures. Dollars and cents play a prominent role in the book, as Rosenthal stresses that the real challenge of succeeding in the computer business is the business part of the equation. Managing employees, inventory and scarce financial resources are covered, along with how to remain sane and when to quit. The book is illustrated with a series of original cartoons on the computer business subject.

By "moshek" (Stoughton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Start Your Own Computer Business: Building a Successful PC Repair and Service Business by Supporting Customers and Managing Money (Paperback)
A concise, very entertaining read. The author does an excellent job of providing a down to earth practical advice guide without pulling any punches. It opened my eyes to some of the pitfalls of the computer business and made me re-examine my assumptions.If you are even thinking of entering the computer business you owe it too yourself (and your wallet) to read this book!

Best book for anybody who's starting a computer business!!,
By Mike H (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Start Your Own Computer Business: Building a Successful PC Repair and Service Business by Supporting Customers and Managing Money (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to anybody who is starting a computer business. This book has detailed information about everything from Buying and selling PCs to Accounting. Nothing is left out. One of my favorite chapters is Selling your first PC which starts like this: He covers aspects of the business that you could easily forget and cost you money later. Buy this book and avoid making costly mistakes in the future. This Book is written in a way that you can't lay it down, informative and realistic. Morris Book is one of the best books I've ever read, maybe because I am starting my own computer business.

Someone that has been there and done that, shares his wisdom,
By RENE ALBERTO PEÑA REYES (Monterrey, Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Start Your Own Computer Business: Building a Successful PC Repair and Service Business by Supporting Customers and Managing Money (Paperback)
An Excellent book, I already had been in the computer business for 8 months before I bought this book, but I wish I had done it before I stared out, because I made some of the mistakes described in the book, and I could have saved myself a lot of sleepless nights and money. If like myself you live outside the U.S., then about one fifth of the book will not apply directly to you, because that information is related to taxes, legal advice and procedures, particular to the U.S. The author gives useful tips based on first hand experience, that could help anyone thinking of starting in the computer business by themselves, or like myself, if you are already in the business and are in need of some ideas. I definitely plan to make some changes based on the recommendations given by the author in the book.
