At first I was skeptical; now I’m a fan,
I was originally skeptical when I received an early copy of Start Your Own Business. Part of my skepticism was the “ONLY startup book you’ll ever need” banner on the front cover.
However, after living with Start Your Own Business for several months, and finding myself not only referring back to it, but also recommending it to family members and friends, I now realize the banner isn’t a claim, but is a credible statement. The amount of detail inside, along with dozens of worksheets, makes this an ideal handbook to be kept within reach at all times.
The book’s length, 700+ pages, also was an initial concern. Who has time to read 700+ pages? But, that’s not a valid concern, for the same reason that the Physicians Desk Reference doesn’t have to be “read” as much as “referred to” as needed. The detailed table of contents, which organizes chapters into 8 main sections, makes it easy to locate the information you desire.
Start Your Own Business is a great resource that brings everything together in one place for both startups and serial entrepreneurs.

|A comprehensive guide to starting a business,
The checklists in Starting Your Own Business are helpful,raising questions and suggesting ways to answer them that most neophytes wouldn’t think of asking. The chapters on using the internet for marketing are eye-opening for an old duffer such as I. The sections on electronic gadgets how to use the internet & social marketing are of interest to any small business owner. I might add that I went to NexTag.com and will recoup the cost of SYOB with one purchase of ink cartridges for my ancient HP DeskJet. I heartily recommend SYOB for anyone interested in starting or improving a small business.

This book is mistitled. The title should read “How to Succeed at Life”. I know that probably seems a stretch when we’re talking an online auction book but it struck me that way. The author not only covers the static knowledge required to start up and maintain an online business, he also throws in some great philosophy while he’s at it.
I had been wanting to make the pluge into online auctioning as a business for some time. I had even started selling and buying a few items online. That was good, because I knew enough to know what I needed to learn. I had stockpiled quite a few questions and the author hit them one by one. The book covers everything from the self examination all of us should take before we make commitments in life, to the nitty gritty details of the online auction process. The author then throws in some “outside the box” (I really hate that phrase) thoughts in his “Going Beyond Business as Usual” Chapter. Good stuff. The book has a very logical flow to it and the “Insider Tips” show the author has been there in the trenches. Call me polyanna, but I’m ready to charge.

|It’s a good Primer,
I have read three books on Online auctions so far (“Getting started in internet auctions”; “Confessions of an Internet Auction Junkie”: and this book). I have to admit that I prefer “confessions over the other two. This book is good for someone thinking about or in the early stages of planning a Internet auction business.
The biggest draw back about all of the “Auction” books is the lack of information on how to structure the business. I really would like to know what to name a business such as this? What form of business is common…LLC, Inc., or what. I came away with a lot of questions. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the book. It just left me wanting more. That’s why I gave it three stars.
