Why you should read Nobody's Business But Your Own

If you plan to use Nobody’s Business But Your Own as a reference guide to starting your own business, stop now. Don’t stop reading the book, but stop whatever plans you have about setting out on your own. Enroll in some classes. Talk with an entrepreneur or two. But to rely on this book for advice would mean falling back on lessons that most people should have absorbed simply from living to adulthood. This is not to say that the book doesn’t offer general pointers about starting a business - it does. But even the least business-savvy readers will find the guidelines presented here much too simplistic to serve as any foundation for business strategy creation. However, if you enjoy hearing the real-life stories of successful entrepreneurs, by all means read this book. The true-life anecdotes that close each chapter are colorful and entertaining, and getAbstract recommends this book to anyone interested in reading well-written tales of entrepreneurial accomplishment.
