I found this book to be quick and easy to read, with very applicable and down-to-earth information about the rites of passage to the entrepreneurial world.Their advice does not focus on actual business management, althoughthey do offer wonderful tips on such topics as time and paper flowmanagement.Instead, they address all the things typical business textsand professors do not mention.I have an MBA from a top 10 businessschool, and I am learning more from this book about the psychology ofstarting a business than I ever did in school.The Edwards have helpedme to understand the fears and doubts I have had over the last few months,while I have been contemplating leaving my well-paying and secure positionat a large consulting firm.Until I picked up this book I thought I wasthe only one who questioned their decisions and their capabilities as anentrepreneur.Now I know that everyone has similarly scary feelings, andthat there are ways in which we can minimize them, and even take advantageof them.Every page offered some form of support or valuable advice, and Ifelt myself gaining confidence with each chapter.I also learned moreabout myself and what type of business I would prefer, after reading theirdescription of classic entrepreneurs vs. "propreneurs" (theirterm for individual professionals and craftspeople).I have gone from astate of anxiety to gung-ho enthusiasm!
It is apparent that these authorsspeak from direct experience, not from a podium in front of a classroom. They are brutally honest about their own mistakes and doubts, which servesto make a positive and helpful connection with the reader.
