Great book!

This book provides key information for starting a business in Florida. It is definitely a must for all new business owners. I particularly like the chapter on preparing a business plan as well as the explanation the book provides on the various types of business entities and how to chose the right one for your business.

A wonderful primer on starting a business with contact information for locating startup funds if necessary.

This is a valuable book (resource) for budding entrepreneurs. It seems to try to cover all the bases for starting a small business, but it can't do them all well in the space available between its covers. The book is only 288 pages long. If you are in the planning stages of starting a small business, then I highly recommend you get a copy of this book. Read it, study it, and outline it. There are helpful checklists to help you grasp the subjects. You will come up with a plethora of keywords and terms that you will want to google to find Web pages giving more detailed (and maybe more current) information.

I am a SCORE counselor (Senior Corps of Retired Executives) who typically does face-to-face counseling sessions three nights a month. It would really be neat if my clients would read this book BEFORE they came to their session with me because they would pretty much be "educated customers" ready to ask educated questions. Our sessions would be so much more beneficial.

My favorite chapters were:

1. Initial business concerns

2. Your business' structure

3. Business start-up details

5. Sources of business assistance (SCORE is mentioned here)

7. Your smart business plan (and a good sample plan is included)

8. Obtaining the financing you need

The book is weak when it comes to how the Internet can be used in corresponding, hiring, and marketing. But this is just one example of how googling keywords and concepts found in the book will make the book more complete. Don't treat the book as authoritative on the law. It isn't. Nor was it ever intended to be. It is light on tax information as it relates to small business.

I was particularly impressed with the material presented in Chapter 2: Choice of Legal Entity. That subject is sorely ignored in most small business books, and it is critically important. It is a subject I regularly must spend a great deal of time discussing at my SCORE sessions. This book does a pretty good job on the topic.

Chapters 4 and 9 through 12 are easy to find fault with. The topic of each could fill a book.

Good story but dated

Would you consider the audio edition of How Digital Is Your Business? to be better than the print version?

Adrians voice is not easy to listen to.

Did Adrian J. Slywotzky and David J. Morrison do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

They read different chapters about different business

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, better in small bits so you digest the lesson

Title: From Mind to Market

Subtitle: Reinventing the Retail Supply Chain

Author: Roger D. Blackwell

Narrator: Dennis McKee

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-00

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

When companies like Wal-Mart, Kinko's, and Service Corp. International adopted active, consumer-driven marketing strategies in place of traditionally passive supplier/consumer relationships, they not only became more profitable - they became market leaders. Roger Blackwell explores what it means to be a mind-to-market leader and how any company, large or small, can beat its competition by employing visionary leadership strategies.

"[The] guru of...how to do business in a global marketplace." (The New York Times)

Members Reviews:

Look elsewhere

Listen to your customer, fluff fluff fluff. Here! You've read the whole book. Move on to your next selection.

There's zero substance in this book. So and so company hit it big because they focus on listening to their customers. How?! He doesn't tell you... probably because he doesn't know.

I'm usually too busy to write reviews for books. I only do it when I come across something extremely good or extraordinarily bad. Nuff said.

Dreadful - Not Recommended

This book is old. Most references are to things and companies from the 90's and earlier. He doesn't mention companies of today, such as Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. And he doesn't really talk about Supply Chain either - only Demand Chain and most of his ideas are about marketing and sales not supply. Definitely not worth reading.

Publisher's Summary:

Strategic alliances and other forms of collaborative inter-firm agreements have become commonplace in today's American economy.

With a focus on the three phases of the Alliance Life Cycle, Dr. Shavers explores the ingredients to successful partnerships. In particular, she focuses on the impact that an alliance will have on each partner's bottom line. She further discusses the "intimacy" of the alliance, the fundamental relationship elements crucial to alliance success and the major issues associated with establishing a vision for the alliance, and the active role it plays as a guidance system for continued success.

Title: Real Time

Narrator: uncredited

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-99

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Intuit does it with your personal finances. FedEx does it with your parcels. McKesson does it with your drugs. Just what are they doing? These companies are all offering what you need, whether it be stock quotes, an anniversary present, or a prescription filled, and they're offering it to you quickly. In his provocative book, Regis McKenna, the pioneer of modern marketing, explains how these companies are among those best equipped for the 21st century because they are seizing the opportunity of the real-time world - one in which time and distance collapse, action and response are simultaneous, and customers demand instant gratification...or else they go elsewhere. McKenna explains how to compete and how to manage companies in this world, drawing upon his experience as an entrepreneur and his work with over 300 start-ups, including Silicon Graphics, Apple, Microsoft, and Intel. This exclusive recording marks the first time Real Time is available on audio.

Critic Reviews:

"...The notion of eliminating hierarchy and long-term planning, and creating real time management that focuses on delivery, results, and customer needs is a key revelation for companies large and small." (Jerry Yang, Cofounder, Yahoo!)

Members Reviews:

Sound quality is poor

The sound quality is poor, i think it is better to reread the audiobook again.

Needs revision - not 'real time' enough

Need to side with the majority of reviewers. Problem with making a book so time specific, is it passes its sell by date very quickly. May have been interesting back in 2000, but (insert your current date here...)

Title: From Zero to Business

Subtitle: How to Start a Business and Raise Millions from Business Plan to Successful Startup

Author: Joseph Hogue

Narrator: Joseph Hogue

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-09-16

Publisher: Efficient Alpha

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Hard work and passion are no longer enough for small business startup success. Small business funding collapsed along with the rest of the financial system in 2008 and has never recovered. More than half of business owners report a lack of financing options, and nearly a third say they may be pushed out of business for lack of startup funding. As always happens in a free market, new solutions have emerged to overcome hurdles in the old way of doing things.

A new model of business funding has been born, staged-funded through alternative finance. This book is about that new model of business funding and how to start a business strategically. You'll learn first how to create a business plan from the executive summary through marketing and the financial projections that will impress investors. You'll learn how to create a stellar business plan that will not only get you startup funding but will guide your business strategy. We'll then cover the four stages of business funding and real-world examples of entrepreneurs that have used the new model to create and drive their small business ideas.

Each chapter includes detail on one of the four funding sources as well as how to get the best deals. You'll get a comprehensive look at the advantages and limits of each stage and how to use each one successively to grow your business. You'll be able to set realistic goals for each stage of business funding as well as how to leverage your progress into the next stage. As an investment analyst for a venture capital firm, I've seen exactly what it takes to build a business from the ground up and what you need to get funded. I've helped entrepreneurs detail their business plan to uncover the source of their competitive advantage and how to present their case for startup funding. As an entrepreneur myself, I've used this same process to raise money and get my own small business ideas off the ground.

Best step by step business plans!

I really took a lot away for this book! I have a small business that I have always dreamed of making much bigger and this book helped me formulate an actual plan. The template business plans were great. The step-by-step aspect was really helpful. I highlighted many of the ways to impress investors with my financial statements and create better VC/investor presentations. To date I have stayed away from even considering crowd funding and now I am inspired. Needless to say I took a lot away from the book â thank you.

Business Plan Help Starts Here!

Times have changed, and the author makes it clear that these are no longer the days that a small business owner can walk into a bank and easily get a small business loan. Through this book, he equips you with what you need to have an impressive business plan and other documentation needed to gain investors. The author does a great job of educating the reader about alternative lenders to traditional banks, as well as potential investors.He also goes into detail about planning a crowdfunding campaign, and gives you everything you need to make it successful. There are resources at the end of places to reach out to for funding.

Publisher's Summary:

Many entrepreneurs launch new businesses without carefully analyzing the financial prospects in advance. They think that they can produce and sell products at a profit and that this will be sufficient. All they need to do is sell enough of the products to create profitable businesses. But this is seldom the case.
