Product Description

Product Description

"If you are the sort of person who would love to start a business of your own but have not yet dared to take the plunge because you have no idea of where to start, The Entrepreneur’s Book of Checklists could go a long way to reducing the sense of panic and introducing some clarity and order into your life when you need it most."

The Sunday Times

"This book is full of the stuff the 'experts' never tell you, use it as your shortcut to success".
Rowan Gormley, entrepreneur and wine lover.
Recruited by Richard Branson to set up Virgin Direct and now CEO of Virgin Wines

Whether you've recently started a business, or are still thinking about it, suddenly everything is down to you. Here's the book to help you think of everything - and do the right thing at the right time. It's the book of lists that no business can afford to start up without.... 

The Entrepreneur’s Book of Checklists is not written to be read from cover to cover, more to become an invaluable source of reference at every stage of the small business journey. As important as an evangelist’s bible, or a car mechanic’s workshop manual, this book will be used, heavily bookmarked and become a much worn friend.

Use the index and chapter summaries to find your way to the checklist you need today. Then, keep the book by your desk, bed or armchair and refer to it whenever doubt or choice confronts you. Packed with examples of businesses that started up just like you, everyone who contributed to this book wants you to succeed as they have done. The Entrepreneur’s Book of Checklists is your first step to joining their success.

Format:Paperback
As a prospective sole trader I found this book an excellent read and know that I will be able to refer back to relevant sections as issues arise.This is a no nonsense common sense approach to business set up and ongoing business management and control , laid out in easily referenced sections. I found much of the content was already in my thoughts but seeing it written down in a structured way reiterated the key points and certainly had me writing down plenty of ideas for future development. I couldn't believe how much you get for the price. Fantastic value. A must read for prospective and recently launched small businesses.

An excellent book which can become ones "silent partner" throughout all aspects of running a business, whether it be starting up on your own or hitting the 5 year glitch. Most business books can end up been put down after the reading the first paragraph.

The Entrepreneur's Book of Checklists is a book that half way through reading it I purchased another copy and passed it onto my parents who are self employed. My own copy is being monopolised by a friend who has been running his business for the last 3 years and he was nodding and agreeing at the first page he read.

This book is informative, light, comical, easily understood with tips that are practical and advice that's tried and tested.

Thank you Robert, this book is an excellent source of information.

Setting up your own business is not an easy venture.

There are lots of things to bear in mind and the novice and many

more experienced people can overlook things that are obvious in hindsight.

This is a book that you can read in a linear fashion or dip into when you're stuck for ideas on how to advance a situation. The format is simple , a checklist of things to consider for the myriad subjects that business implies.

It's written in a clear, good humoured and above all non arrogant or patronising manner.

I seldom buy books and never do without checking out the offer, and this was the best by far.

It doesn't immerse you in platitudes or the author's ego, but gives you the context in which decisions need to be made and the pertinent questions to ask. In my opinion that's more powerful than many of the thinly disguised ego-trips that masquerade as business books!
