This book is very well written and worth the read.

A good, no nonsense book that is more of a reference book than others. It's something you'll want to keep on your desk to consult for this or that.

OK, so I've purchased many business books back in the day. Not sure why this one caught my attention, but it did! I must admit that the book is choc full of goodies. If you are an entrepreneur, and looking for some excellent advice and guidance, this book covers a large spectrum of topics that you will find not only helpful, but practical.Anyway, this book is very well organized by topic. It is written for the entrepreneur of the 21st century because a lot of things have changed in the world of business today. For instance, he talks about social media and everyone is well aware of the fact that this is a huge part of the fabric of our society.It has excellent chapter headings, starts with very basic issues dealing with the emotional aspect of running a business and even includes a section about mental health awareness. It discusses growth and management skills that accelerate growth, scalable systems and processes, planning, funding, etc.I ordered this as a tool to help grow my business and will be using it as a daily resource to consult for various projects. This is one of those books that you may choose not to read from cover to cover. Instead, its an excellent resource that allows you to look up specific things you need to work with at that moment.For instance, there's a chapter on Hiring. So, if I'm dealing with that task, I can go directly there and begin looking at the advice being offered.The book also has a nice glossary of terms, references for each chapter and an extensive index located in the back of the book.This book is very easy to read and understand which is a plus for me.I'd highly recommend this book and can honestly say that it can be an excellent resource for anyone including individuals that are interested in careers in business management.

“Running & Growing a Business QuickStart Guide" as a simplified beginner's guide that covers essential topics such as leadership, scalable systems, and profitable growth. The book provides practical advice and real-world examples to help new business owners and entrepreneurs succeed. It's a comprehensive, easy-to-follow roadmap for anyone who wants to start, run, and grow a successful business. Ken Colwell's book on business growth and management is well-written and thought out. While some of the information covered may not be new or groundbreaking, it can serve as a reminder of what to focus on, particularly for new entrepreneurs. The book is a good resource for those in the early stages of exploring the possibility of starting a business, as it covers the basics of managing and hiring, business planning and strategy, and early funding strategies. It's not a substitute for an MBA, but it provides valuable insights into the concepts of starting a business. Some sections felt repetitive, and there were a lot of citations that could have been more helpful if numbered. The spiral-bound format is a positive aspect, making it easy to use as a manual and take notes. Overall, it's a decent read that can be beneficial for new entrepreneurs or those looking for a starting point in the genre.

I got this book because I felt I needed to take a more entrepreneurial approach in managing my department. And it paid off for me. There are multiple reasons from the format of the book to the info contained within to the author's business experience and insights. A good bit of the information in the book is what you should know, but it is never a bad thing to review the basic, block-and-tackle business info. As well, there were many things discussed that I didn't know and definitely helped me move my department forward. The ring binding allowed me to lay the book flat and highlight and write notes, which has been great for review and returning to specific entries that I found relevant for what I was facing. All in all, a great book not only for new entrepreneurs but also for business people wanting to take their departments forward, upward, or in a new direction.
