More depth?,
By A Customer
This review is from: If You're Clueless about Starting Your Own Business (Paperback)
I like Seth Godin's funky style, but would really appreciate more depth and practical tips like the new Asian authors did with Dot Zen.

Points you in the right direction,
By Carbonero (Gainesville, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If You're Clueless about Starting Your Own Business (Paperback)
Once in a while a book that really helps comes along. This is one of them for someone that has no idea on how to start up a new business.I got this book for my wife who decided to consult and needed some business ideas to help her give more of herself. All the underlying aspects of what to do in particular cases are covered in the book. It seems strange to say that because the book is so thin, but it does the job. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was the legal part of it was lacking. We had some specific areas of concern regarding legal matters and it did not answer them, nor even tell you where you might find the answer.
