Im not being paid, but it's gonna sound like it!
Extremely good!
Detailed road map for business from conception to sale and everything in between. Best business book I've read.
The best way I can explain it is, how 'The Barefoot Investor' book became my bible for setting up my Plan B, this will now be my bible for pursuing my Plan A.
If you are considering going into business ownership, its a must read.

Solid advice for business entrepreneurs
Very listenable, easy to understand and solid advice for those thinking of starting a business and those wanting to do well as an employee in a business.
The author clearly speaks from a wealth of his own experience.
Some real gems of advice even for those in the professions.

Short, sharp and punchy
Great insight whether you are looking to start a business or own a business. I like Mark's straight shooter approach and narration.

Sound advice for new business owners
No fluff business advice from one of Australia’s best - a good reality check for someone considering a life in business. Also well read by Mark. Somewhere between an entirely tactical type read and a self help type. Overall very good

Teaches solid business fundamentals
I like the way this book was presented. It walked me through what a business owner would go through and also the challenges and the things they may consider doing. Very nicely explained with personal experience. Worth my time and more importantly, I learned something new.
