A detailed reference source for entrepreneurs looking for new business opportunities contains more than five hundred different businesses to choose from--each one a realistic, professional... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I bought this book a couple of years ago and pulled it out recently and I agree with one of the other reviewers: Please update this book! I've read many "start your own business" books and the layout of this one is by far the best I've ever seen. The book is divided into categories according to how much money you can/will invest as start-up capital. The descriptions of each business are detailed and it even has the pro's and con's. But, as mentioned before, it is badly in need of an update, i.e., when it suggests that you will need a computer, it lists the prices at around $2,000.00! This price is quoted for even the most non-technical businesses and obviously you can knock off around $1500.00 for a basic computer. But if you are in need of ideas, detailed descriptions, etc., this book can still be very helpful.
It's About Time!

This book is enlightening and gives hope to potential entrepreneurs by outlining areas that one might not initially think of. My only comment to Adams Almanacs is when can we expect an updated edition? I can hardly wait!
Finally a book that talks about Storytellers!

This book is the only book I could find which talked about the kind of business I want to start. Not only was it affordable but it cuts to the chase when it gives you info. For example:It gives you start up costs, potential earnings, typical fees, advertising, qualifications, equipment needed, home business potential, staff requirements, handicapped potential, hidden costs on top of how to get started. This book is a great find!
