Ever thought about starting a business? Want to be your own boss? Thinking about making your hobby into something more? The $100 Startup is maybe the book for you. I’m not going to lie, I had a bit of a hard time finishing this one.
Chris Guillebeau spent time contacting and researching entrepreneurs and their businesses to come up a set of keys to success on starting your own business and not losing the farm, so to speak, in the process. He goes through tips on how to grow your business instead of trying to explode it so you don’t waste a lot of time and money and set yourself up for failure. He also goes through a step by step process from day one to getting your business out there which was very helpful.
Though I do greatly appreciate the content of this book and think it is extremely valuable, I thought the book itself was a bit cumbersome. Some people may enjoy the endless case studies and examples Chris Guillebeau provides but I thought they buried the actual content and made it more difficult to grasp. Some of his other books sound interesting but after reading The $100 Startup, it might take me awhile to get to them.
