This was an excellent book to get a high-level overview of what it takes to start a business. This book wasn't written to be a one source guide. It was written to give you all of the important details and procedures of starting a businees, without all of the fluff. If you want to start a business, but have no knowledge of how to do it, then I recommend this as your first book on the subject.
