  As a small business advocate and author, I highly recommend this book. Gene Marks has assembled advice from hundreds of authors and experts on small business, each with their own area of expertise. It has some very useful insight, resources, and wisdom, literally from A to Z. In this book, you will find information on business startup, taxes, interviewing, operations, improving sales, managing your employees, communications, business software, hiring, traveling, and more!

  I enjoyed this book very much, particularly the section on “Day to Day” operations. Managing your business and maximizing cash flow can be quite overwhelming; the author, however, provides a practical and easy to understand guide for cash flow management. This concise and straightforward book is a valuable addition to any business owner’s library.

  It’s only fair to note that I am one of the minor contributors to this book, and it’s one reason why I have not reviewed the book since it first came out. That said, I really do wish I had this book when I started my own business 30 years ago. This is a fantastic resource, in a way allowing you to pick the brains of hundreds of authors, getting advice so that you can avoid pitfalls in starting, operating, maintaining a small business. But don’t don’t let the “Small Business” put you off. If you’re a manager in a megacorporation, there’s advice/knowledge to be gleaned by Gene’s book. In fact, I wish it was mandatory reading for those who have lost their common-sense and sensibilities on the way up the corporate ladder.

  I’m a sole proprietor, and I didn’t think this book had much for me. Until, of course, I needed to hire a part-time assistant. I found some great advice on how to screen resumes, set up interviews, and research candidates. This book had exactly the information I needed, and it was easy to find and easy to use. What a fabulous resource!

  Oh my gosh! What a book! I wish I had been the one to outline and compile it. With 100’s of lists to help a wanta-be entrepreneur put together her business plan or small business owner to increase revenues or boost profits, this book is a goldmine.

  The book includes eight chapters as follows:

  1. Starting Up
  2. High Finance
  3. Where You Work
  4. Day to Day
  5. Your Taxes
  6. The Geek Section
  7. Your Customers & Prospects
  8. Your People

  I particularly like the lists under “Starting Your Business” starting at page 21 which included information about Choice of Legal Entity considerations. Also included there is great information about preparing business plans.

  I was surprised to learn that New Jersey, my home state, ranks #7 in the “Top States for New Business Formation” list at page 69.

  I could go on and on about the content included in this book. It is 661 pages long and packed full of helpful information that is not always easy to find elsewhere. If you are involved in small business in some capacity, then do yourself a favor by getting this book. 5 stars!
