5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for entrpreneurs, 28 Nov 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Start Up!: How to Start a Successful Business from Absolutely Nothing, What to Do and How it Feels (Paperback)

This is a highly motivating book with down to earth practical advice on how to enhance any business. With such a positive attitude Liz shows that it is possible to pursue any dream and turn it into reality, overcoming even some of the most difficulties. I learned to embrace failure and turn every negative into a positive after reading this. Any business would succeed with an attidude like Liz's and it shows that you don't have to be a genius to do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars If anyone can you can!, 29 Nov 2005

"rabbetts3" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Start Up!: How to Start a Successful Business from Absolutely Nothing, What to Do and How it Feels (Paperback)

This book is very easy reading and is excellent for giving a positive view point against the odds.

One half of the book gives the biography the other half shows you how you too can start up a multi million pound company

This is a real inspiration and very candid so If anyone can you can! It really gives a flavour how Great Guns Marketing works and the staff must be very inspired by their leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the perfect business plan... If i could start my whole business again I would!, 2 May 2009

StepbyStep (Mitcham, Surrey, Greater London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Start Up!: How to Start a Successful Business from Absolutely Nothing, What to Do and How it Feels (Paperback)

This book is a very good blue print of the perfect start-up business. I enjoyed this book because it is written in a simple manner, flows well to read and is an exciting and motivational real life story.

The author who suffers from her own disability is so positive her motivation inspires me. I only wish i read this book before starting my business!
