Review
An excellent primer...I commend this book to both those who are already running an established business, and those who are minded to start one and become their own boss. It is written in a practical style, full of useful tips and pertinent questions. It is a manual that can be used very much as a reference source, to be dipped into when needed. --Luke Johnson
A must-read tome for any aspiring entrepreneur. Guy unpacks entrepreneurship in an enjoyable, fascinating manner. --Julie Meyer, founder and CEO of Ariadne Capital, founder of Entrepreneur Country, co-founder of First Tuesday
I am often asked for advice about starting a business and I was thinking of writing it all down. Guy has saved me the effort. I will just hand out a copy of this book. --Nick Jenkins, Founder of Moonpig.com

“As someone who has chaired nearly 500 roundtable discussions with Britain’s most successful entrepreneurs, I know it’s not easy to assimilate best practice into a book. Guy has managed to combine current insights and anecdotes with great, practicable tips. This is the book I wish I’d written: Guy’s saved me the trouble. This should be essential reading for any aspiring, high-growth entrepreneurs.'

— Shalini Khemka, chief executive, The London Entrepreneurial Exchange
'The book, frankly, is fabulous...truly an excellent resource for anyone running a business, whether they intend to exit or not. I'm normally quite sceptical of 'how to' manuals but not in this case - you have done a cracking job.'
- Rupert Lee-Browne, Chief Executive of Caxton FX Ltd.
“The book arrived on Friday and, honestly, it's un-put-a-downable. This the first time I have powered up my PC this weekend and that is unheard off. Half way through and I can't wait to get back to it. Well done.”

Format:Paperback
As an aspiring young businessman, I read this book with considerable interest. I used to be stuck in a rut, working in a dead end job for a joke of an organisation. I'd get into work hungover and slouch at my desk before sinking into a day-long slumber. Then one day I decided I wanted more from life. I wanted to be my own boss. I wanted to be my own master.
I consulted all around me for ideas. I spoke to my colleagues. I spoke to my friends. I spoke to my brain trust. None of them could help me. None of them had the ideas, the passsion, the know-how. I didn't know anyone who could help or who had been in that sort of position. Not all of us are friends with a Steve Jobs or a Tim Adams.
And then I read this book and everything seemed to fall into place. It made me think about what I needed to do to get ahead. It helped to give structure and detail to my nebulous thoughts. I quit my job and started up a boutique television company. It is thriving, so am I, and so is my colleague Peter.
This book truly is a remarkable guide to how to succeed. Bravo, Guy!

Format:Paperback
There really is something for everyone in this book, all in one place. Too often you spend time searching for inspiration and advice only to be hit by 'management books' that preach a language no one understands. What we need is helpful practical advice and this book provides it in spades.
Format:Paperback
This is the most practical guide on how to start, grow and sell a business. For an entrepreneur it covers all the stages a business goes through - and has lists of things to do, and just as interestingly things not to to. A great book to keep by your side as you start running your own business.
