Product Description
Synopsis
In 1965, 17-year-old Fred DeLuca borrowed $1000 and started Subway, a sandwich shop, with the hopes of making some money to pay for college. Today, there are more than 14,000 Subway stores in 70 countries, and the business generates annual sales exceeding three billion dollars. In this book, DeLuca explores the basic principles he used to achieve such astonishing success and explains how those principles can be adapted by other enterprising business people - particularly those with less than the equivalent $10,000 in start-up capital. With a humorous, down-to-earth style, DeLuca mixes anecdotes with solid business lessons and draws on his own experiences - guiding fellow entrepreneurs towards success.

Good, 14 Sep 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start Small, Finish Big: Fifteen Key Lessons to Start--And Run--Your Own Successful Business (Hardcover)
This is an easy to read book with important advice from people who have experienced the business world.Some advice they had to learn on their own after many years in the business. So you may save many years by learning the lessons here first.
Some of the anecdotes by some of the business people are unnecessary. But most of them are very helpful.
Also, the author promotes his microentrepreneur organization (that gives small loans to hopeful busnesss-start-ups) that I really wasn't interested in.
But some of the things I learned in here are priceless. So I think it's a very worthwhile book, and recommend it.

Street smart advice for small businesses, 7 Aug 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start Small, Finish Big: Fifteen Key Lessons to Start--And Run--Your Own Successful Business (Hardcover)
Most books aimed at small businesses omit the basic (though not always obvious) advice needed to choose a business, get it started and keep it profitable. This is where Start Small, Finish Big excels. Especially valuable are the chapters on when to borrow money (The answer is not when you need it.) and choosing your business idea. If you have been thinking about starting a business, but never have taken the step, this is the book you need to get you going.
