Good book!

I did read many similar books, but what makes this book stands out is the enthusiasm and the motivation! I can clearly feel the author's passion to help readers to start their own business.
In addition, the author covers many of the important aspects such as brainstorming business ideas, picking the business name, structure and more!
I find the chapter about the mindset is very important as it is what makes someone grow.

I picked this up hoping to make real changes, and it delivered. The advice wasn’t overwhelming—it was practical and made me rethink how I approach everyday decisions. One thing that really stuck with me was how small, consistent actions can lead to bigger results. I’ve already applied a few tips to my daily routine, and I’m seeing progress without feeling burnt out. If you’re looking for guidance that’s easy to follow and actually works, give this a try.

Great Resource for Starting a Business!

I've gone through my fair share of business books, but this one stood out for its no-nonsense, step-by-step approach. It doesn’t waste time on fluff—it lays out exactly what you need to do if you're serious about building a business. I especially appreciated the focus on transitioning from a regular job to full-time entrepreneurship, which is something I’ve been considering. The advice on overcoming fear and shifting to an entrepreneurial mindset hit home for me. The real-world examples made everything feel doable, not just theory. If you want straightforward, actionable guidance without feeling overwhelmed, you will find this very helpful!
