Susan Baroncini-Moe claims that this book is for small business entrepreneurs. That’s where she’s wrong. I say this book is for small business entrepreneurs AND anyone who is willing to work hard to chase a dream. I’m not starting a business. What I am is a blogger and an indie author, someone with aspirations, and this book is relevant to my needs and what I want to accomplish. Very shortly after I dug into the first chapter, I had to put the book down and run to get a pencil and colored tabs so Susan Baroncini-Moe claims that this book is for small business entrepreneurs. That’s where she’s wrong. I say this book is for small business entrepreneurs AND anyone who is willing to work hard to chase a dream. I’m not starting a business. What I am is a blogger and an indie author, someone with aspirations, and this book is relevant to my needs and what I want to accomplish. Very shortly after I dug into the first chapter, I had to put the book down and run to get a pencil and colored tabs so I could start marking pages and underlining sentences. Even before I finished reading, I had a chance to speak with a friend who is in the beginning stages of starting a web comic, and I couldn’t help but recommend this book to her. The author writes in a companionable tone, and the text is divided into brief sections, and when you combine those two factors, you get easy, fast reading. What I usually expect from a business book is stuffy formality, but I got none of that here. Instead, what I got was straightforward information and practical examples, all packaged in conversational-style writing. I’ve finished reading the book, but I’m nowhere near done with it. Next I get to explore the companion website, and I’m going to go back through the book and take the time to work on the homework assignments that appear throughout the text. There must be something terribly wrong: I’m feeling excited about doing homework. What has Susan done to me?! But never mind that — I need to get to work. Whether you’re looking into starting a small business or a chasing a dream that needs a lot of elbow grease and focus, this book will be of practical use to you. Trust me: I know a little about dream chasing.

As a business owner, I really loved the philosophy of this book. We need to create businesses that work for us instead of the other way around. A great read!

This book is superb. The first few pages may be a little bit boring but 95%of the book is filled with knowledge. It's a must read for every startup business. This book is superb.

Overall I truly enjoyed this book. There are homework assignments to help you take a deeper look at yourself and your business. I say overall because by midway through the third section, it was less relevant and harder to achieve. On the flipside, I will be keeping this book and plan to look back at it in the future. Biggest thing I learned is that I am about $3 million from where I want to stop. Dont fear, that doesnt discourage me. It actually makes me want to reach it sooner and put a little Overall I truly enjoyed this book. There are homework assignments to help you take a deeper look at yourself and your business.

Unexpected outcome, yet I still recommend this book! I commend this writer for her focus on the individual. I got about half way through, and realised because of this book that was really struggling with trying make the proverbial lemonade out of lemons. I had some experience, equipment, stock. I took my 'opportunity' seriously. But it was someone else's plan for me and I hated where I was at and felt terribly unrequited, so I couldn't commit fully to the business ethos of the book.

Then I applied some of the author's theory to what I personally wanted to achieve and I found myself with a game plan for my creative outlets and an unexpected, challenging but rewarding day job. Weird how it can play out, isn't it? edit: A few years later (now 2021) I'm going to read it again.
